Abstract: The grindactivity of wheel is remarkably lost by the loading of wheel surface in dry grinding of hard carbon parts. In this report, we propose the dressless wheel treatment, in which loading chips are removed with adhesive tape, and experimentally investigate its effect on recovery of grindactivity, analyzing the stock removal, the grinding current and the surface roughness in repeat of grinding cycle with treated and non-treated wheels. The removal and finishing performances of loaded wheel are recovered by the dressless wheel treatment.

Abstract: The grinding performance of wheel remarkably decreases by the loading of wheel surface in dry grinding of hard carbon parts. In this report, we propose the removal method of loaded carbon chips in which an adhesive tape is removed with carbon chips after putting on a loaded wheel surface by an elastic roller with the setting load . The removal characteristics are experimentally investigated by analyzing the projecting height of abrasive grains, removal force of adhesive tape and so on. The removal method results in the enough projecting height of abrasive grain.
