GRINDINGGRINDING• DefinitionDefinition

– Shearing Process Which Uses Abrasive Grains to Remove Material

• Cutting ActionCutting Action– Abrasives Act Like “Tiny Cutting Tools”

• Process CharacteristicsProcess Characteristics– High Speed, Temperature– Low Depth of Cuts, MRR– High Specific Energy Requirements

• Ratio of Plastic and Elastic Deformation vs Cutting

GRINDINGGRINDING• Shearing Action in GrindingShearing Action in Grinding

– Each Grain is a Cutting Tool • Grains Usually Embedded in a Grinding

Wheel– Cutting Angles Vary

» Back Rake Angle (Positive and Negative)» Sharpness of Cutting Edge» Side Rake Angle» Clearances

• Grains are Metal Oxides, Diamonds• Wheels are Self-Sharpening

– Friability» Abrasive Crystals Break

– Bond Strength» Abrasive Grain is Torn From Bonding Material

GRINDINGGRINDING• Why Used?Why Used?

– Produce “Better” Surface Finish• Smooth – Lower Coefficient of Friction• Smooth – Tighter Fit• Smooth – Less Eddy Currents/Corrosion• Smooth – Less Surface Area (Corrosion)• Rough – Better Adherence (Paint, Non-Skid)

– Produce More Dimensionally Accurate Parts

– Produce Sharp Edges– Break Sharp Edges


GRINDINGGRINDING• Bond Types (Wheels/Stones)Bond Types (Wheels/Stones)

– Vitrified (Clays)• Most Common• Hard, High Hot Hardness• Mixed, Pressed, Heated to Fuse (Glass)

– Resinoid• Phenolic (Thermosetting Compounds)• Mix, Heat to Set• More Flexible than Vitrified

– Rubberoid• Vulcanized Rubber and Abrasive Particles• More Flexible than Resinoid


GRINDINGGRINDING• Bond TypesBond Types

– Metallic• Made via Powder Metallurgy• Usual Bond for Diamonds

– Metal better Adhesive for Diamonds

• Bond Type Determines Wheel GradeBond Type Determines Wheel Grade– Grade is “Hardness” of Wheel

• Determined by Bonding Material and Amount• Strength of Bonding of Abrasive• NOT Related to Hardness of Abrasive• Harder Wheels are More Brittle/Subject to

Fracture


GRINDINGGRINDING• Spacing of Abrasive Determines Spacing of Abrasive Determines

StructureStructure– Structure is Density of Abrasive

• Distance Between Abrasive Particles• Corresponds to Tooth Gullet (Broach, Mills)

– “Clogging” of Grinding Wheel

• Also Referred to as Porosity of Wheel• Determines Number of Cutting Edges

(Teeth)

– Size of Abrasive Known as Grit• Larger Grit

– Rougher Surface (Grain Variance)– Larger Structure– Higher MRR


GRINDINGGRINDING• Spacing of Abrasive Determines Spacing of Abrasive Determines

StructureStructure– Structure is Density of Abrasive

• Distance Between Abrasive Particles• Corresponds to Tooth Gullet (Broach, Mills)• Also Referred to as Porosity of Wheel

– Size of Abrasive Known as Grit• Larger Grit

– Rougher Surface (Grain Variance)– Larger Structure– Higher MRR


GRINDINGGRINDING• Grinding ParametersGrinding Parameters

– Size of Grit• Smaller Grit, Smoother Finish• Number of Cutting Edges

– Reduces “Tooth Marks” (Feed Marks)– Reduces Waviness

• Limits Depth of Cut– Size of Grain

• Smaller Grains are less Friable• More Negative Rake Angles, More

Burnishing– Higher Specific Horsepower Needed– Runs Hotter– Lower G (Grinding Ratio)

• Reduces Vibration/Chatter



– Wheel Speed (RPM, Surface Feet/Minute)• Higher Speed – Less Waviness

– Less Rotation/Feed ‘til Next Grain/Edge

• Higher Speed – Less Depth of Cut– Less Feed ‘til Next Grain/Edge

• Higher Speed – Runs Hotter– Grater Ration of Deformation

Ploughing/Burnishing to Shearing

• Higher Speed – Higher Tendency to Clog– Hotter (Softer) Wheel and Workpiece Material

• Higher Speed – Higher Dynamic Loading– More Easily Broken, “Fly-Apart”



– Feed Rate• Increasing Feed – Higher Production Rates

– Higher Material Removal Rates (MRR)– How to Calculate

• Increasing Feed – Higher Forces on Grain/Edge– Higher Wheel Wear (Attrious Wear)– Loss of Grains(Grain Fracture)

• Increasing Feed – Rougher Surface– Greater Waviness

• Increasing Feed – Less Dimensionally Accurate– Greater Deflection


GRINDINGGRINDING• Grinding – Process’s Impact on Grinding – Process’s Impact on

WorkpieceWorkpiece– Heat Affects

• Tempering– Localized High Temperatures followed by

Rapid Cooling

• Burning– Rapid Oxidation on Workpiece Surface– “Sparks” during Grinding are Oxidizing Chips

» High Surface Area to Mass Ratio
