• All abrasive operations can be considered as material removal processes with geometrically
undefined cutting edges. Each abrasive grain acts like a single cutting tool with undefined
geometry but usually with high negative rake angle.

wheel.
 The feed (F) and depth of cut (ap) in grinding are small, while the cutting speed (Vc) is high.
 Dimensional accuracy: 0,3 – 0,5 µm
 Surface finish (Ra) ~ 0,1 – 1,6 µm

Introduction
GRINDING
 A grinding wheel consists of:
 Hard abrasive grains called grits  perform the cutting or material removal  Hardness
 Bonding material  holds particles in place and gives the profile to the wheel  Toughness
 Conventional abrasive wheel materials:
• Aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
• Silicon carbide wheels (SiC)
Superabrasive wheels:
• Diamond
• CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride)

ABRASIVE TYPE:
 Al2O3 (2000-3000)  high tensile strength materials, ductile materials “corundum”
 SiC (2100-3000)  low tensile strength, brittle and non metallic materials
“carborundum”
 CBN (4000-5000)  very hard materials “borazon”
 Diamond (7000-8000)  carbide & very hard non ferrous materials
ABRASIVE GRAIN SIZE:
 Coarse Soft & ductile materials or poor Ra = roughing
 Fine  Hard & brittle materials or excellent Ra = finishing
GRADE (abrasive grain-bonding joining strength):
 Soft wheel  hard materials machining (to have fresh abrasive) or poor Ra = roughing
 Hard wheel  soft materials machining or excellent Ra = finishing
STRUCTURE (porosity):
 Open  Soft & ductile materials
High removal rate or poor Ra = roughing
 Dense  Long wheel life & precise wheel forms/profiles or excellent Ra = finishing
BOND TYPE:
 Vitrified: most common, brittle bond
 Resinoid: more flexible bond

Truing is the process of making a grinding wheel round and concentric with the
grinding wheel spindle axis. Truing is also the process of forming a specific
shape on the face of the wheel.
Dressing is the process of conditioning the surface of a trued wheel to expose
the grain for efficient grinding action.

Creep feed grinding
 It uses large depth of cuts (typically ap on the order of 1 - 6 mm) and low feed rates (F).
 The wheel is often continuously dressed.
 It is essential to use a high pressure coolant system and soft wheels with open structure to keep
temperature low.
 Advantages: High material removal rates and productivity (the wheel is continuously cutting).

 It is very similar to polishing, in which abrasive particles are not glued to the wheel but are
loose. Buffing is a finer operation than polishing.
 Ideal for enhancing and brightening existing finishes, taking out stains in metals and
bringing out a new lustre in work surfaces.
 Polishing operations are often accomplished manually.
 The buffing wheel is made of linen, cotton, bleached muslin, flannel, or other soft cloth
materials.

 Shorter strokes (<5 mm)
 Higher frequencies (>400 cycles/min)
 Lower pressures (10-40 psi)
 Smaller grit size
 Copious amount of low viscosity lubricant-coolant is used and it establishes a continuous film
between the stone and the workpiece and separates them.

 It is a variant of ElectroChemical Machining (ECM), and it is also known as electrochemical
grinding.
 It is a process that combines electrochemical energy with mechanical energy to remove
material by grinding with a negatively charged abrasive grinding wheel, an electrolyte fluid, and
a positively charged workpiece.
 Typically 90% of the metal is removed by electrolysis and 10% from the abrasive grinding
wheel (the wheel lasts a longer time). Thus, difficult materials independent of their hardness or
strength can be machined.
 The wheel and workpiece must be electrically conductive.
