A Study on the Grindability of Engineering Plastics and Metals

Abstract:

In this study, the surface grinding was performed at different feed rates and depth of cuts. Grindability of engineering thermoplastics and metals was evaluated. Further, important process parameters influencing surface quality were determined using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Experimental results compared two significantly different groups of materials in order to emphasize common variables. Finally, further research directions were presented to seek for functional relation between process parameters and grindability.
