Study Notes
Grinding Definition
- Grinding is a metal cutting process using a multi-edged tool with undefined cutting edges to remove chips.
- Cutting speeds in grinding are significantly higher than in turning, approximately 20 times.
- Techniques are categorized by workpiece shape (face, cylindrical) or mounting (between centers, centerless).
- Grinding is similar to machining but uses abrasive material particles instead of a hardened tool edge.
- Abrasive materials (aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride, diamond) can be bonded to wheels or belts or used loose.
- Tools involve minute cutting by individual abrasive grains.
- Grinding produces a high cutting speed with a shallow cut per grain.
- Water or oil-based emulsions are often used to control dust and heat, especially for softer materials.
Grinding Techniques
- Flat Grinding: The tool performs the cutting motion while the workpiece moves along the feed path, using either the circumference or face of the grinding tool.
- Circumferential Grinding: The wheel spindle is horizontal, and the workpiece travels back and forth on a (or rotates on a) machine table. Lateral feed is often by the table or a rotary table. Metal removal rate is limited.
- Face Grinding: The grinding wheel's front end is used, with the wheel performing the cutting motion and the workpiece the feed. Vertical spindles are often used for their compact design and capability. Different arrangements for face grinding are categorised by the surface pattern: cross grinding, where contours cross (K), or arc grinding, where contours are radially aligned (S).
Cylindrical Grinding
- External Cylindrical Grinding: The grinding wheel rotates and travels along (longitudinal feed) or directly removes material (plunge) the workpiece
- Longitudinal Feed: The machine table (or the workpiece) executes the longitudinal feed. Workpiece speed must be harmonized with the wheel feed to avoid marking. Small depths of cut may be needed for thin shafts, limiting infeed.
- Plunge Grinding: No longitudinal feed, with only depth setting, is performed by the grinder.
Thread Grinding
- Grinding threads uses profiled grinding wheels with either single or multi-edged wheels..
- Single-edged wheels provide higher accuracy (±2 µm diameter, ±10 angular minutes angle) but multi-edged wheels are more suitable for through thread applications.
- Single-edged tools are better suited for threads that are to be created directly on the shoulder of the piece.
- Thread-plunge grinding uses a multi-edged wheel that is dressed in parallel.
Internal Cylindrical Grinding
- Internal cylindrical grinding is similar in principle to external grinding but targets internal features.
- Similar considerations for cutting speeds and contact length are still key determinants.
- Optimal wheel diameter depends on the diameter of the workpiece feature. The diameter of the grinding wheel should be approximate to 0.8 of that of the hole.
