    Study Notes

    Grinding Wheel Operations

    • Truing of a grinding wheel is an operation of bringing back the original shape of the grinding wheel using a diamond-tipped tool, and it should be done often.
    • Dressing of a grinding wheel is an operation of removing glazing and loading from a grinding wheel using a tool called dresser.

    Grinding Process Parameters

    • Conventional grinding: Vc (20-30 m/s), Vw (1-30 m/min), Depth of cut (0.01-0.5 mm)
    • Creep feed grinding: Vc (60-80 m/s), Vw (0.05-0.5 m/min), Depth of cut (0.1-30 mm)
    • High efficiency deep grinding (HEDG): Vc (>80 m/s), Vw (0.5-10 m/min), Depth of cut (0.1-30 mm)

    Specification of Wheels

    • Geometrical specifications
    • Compositional specifications

    Compositional Specifications of Conventional Wheels

    • Abrasive: Al2O3 (for soft and ductile material), C-Carbide (SiC)/CBN (for hard and brittle material), D-Diamond
    • Grain/Mesh/Grit size: 10-30 (coarse), 30-80 (medium), 80-200 (fine), 200-600 (very fine)
    • Grade or hardness of wheel: A-H (soft), I-P (medium), Q-Z (hard)
    • Bonding: Vitrified, Resinoid, BF-Resinoid reinforced
    • Structure: Gap between grains (0-7 dense, 8-16 open)

    Compositional Specifications of Super Abrasive Wheels

    • Manufacturer's material identifier: B for cBN, D for Diamond
    • Grit: Varies
    • Hardness: Varies
    • Concentration: 25% volume occupied by diamond, 24% volume occupied by cBN
    • Bond type: Varies

    Internal Grinding Machines

    • Chucking type internal grinder: used for grinding internal surfaces of cylindrical parts
    • Planetary internal grinder: used where the workpiece is of irregular shape or heavy and cannot be rotated conveniently
    • Centreless internal grinder: used for grinding cylindrical and tapered holes in cylindrical parts

    Grinding Machines

    • Surface grinding machine: used to finish flat surfaces
    • Cylindrical grinding machine: used to finish external cylindrical surfaces
    • Form cylindrical grinder: used to finish external cylindrical surfaces with steps or profiles
    • Universal cylindrical surface grinder: used to finish external cylindrical surfaces
