Effects of the Grinding Conditions on the Shape of Center Ground Parts

The form accuracy of parts has become an important parameter. Therefore, not only dimensional tolerance but also geometric tolerances are used in the design stage to satisfy the required quality and functions of parts. But the information on the machining conditions, which can satisfy the assigned geometric tolerance in do sign, is insufficient. The objectives of this research are to study the effects of the grinding parameters such as traverse speed, work speed, depth of cut, and dwell time on the after-ground workpiece shape, and to find out the major parameters among them The results are as follows; The effects of work speed and depth of cut on the workpiece shape are negligible compared with the effect of traverse speed. These is an optimal dwell time depending on the traverse speed. The optimal dwell time is decreasing as the traverse speed is increasing.
