High-Rate Centreless Grinding of Ferrous Components

  • Chapter
Proceedings of the Twenty-Fourth International Machine Tool Design and Research Conference

Abstract

Cylindrical components of En9, grey cast iron and sintered iron powder compacts have been centreless ground in the plunge feed mode at high rates of metal rempval on a recently developed heavy duty machine. The results of a comprehensive set of grinding trials are presented. The effects of process variables upon the main grinding parameters are discussed and compared with theoretical predictions. It is shown that predicted work-speed effects become increasingly important at high removal rates and that choice of speed ratio can be a limiting factor on the plunge feed rate.
