Research on the Distribution of Grains in the Grinding Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Grinding of metals is a complex material removal operation involving cutting, ploughing, and rubbing depending on the extent of interaction between the abrasive grains and the workmaterial under the conditions of grinding. In this investigation, various parameters of the process including the number of abrasive grains in actual contact, the number of actual cutting grains per unit area for a given depth of wheel indentation, the minimum diameter of the contacting and cutting grains, the probability of active contacting grains and cutting grains were determined analytically. The analytical work was proved to be practicable by the means of measuring grinding temperature. Research results enable the use of actual number of contacting and cutting grains in the grinding wheel for thermal distribution and wheel wear analyses and contribute to a better understanding on the mechanics of grinding.
