This paper is concerned with the heat flux distribution and energy partition for creep-feed grinding. Form measurements of transient grinding temperatures in the workpiece sub-surface using an embeded thermocouple, the overall energy partition to the workpiece was estimated form moving heat source theory for a triangular heat flux distribution as 3.0% for down grinding and 4.5% for up grinding. The higher energy partition for up grinding can be attributed to the need to satisfy thermal compatibility at the grinding zone. The influence of cooling outside the grinding zone can be analytically taken into account by specifying convective heat transfer coefficients on the workpiecs surface h /sab a/ heat source (grinding zone) and h /sab b/ behind the heat source. The smaller energy patition together with slightly lower grinding power favors down grinding over up grinding.

In this paper, the image processing for flexible disk grinding and the effect of the grinding conditions on the flat zone length of a workpiece are investigated, with the purpose of automating the grinding process. To accomplish this, three issues should be carefully studied. The first is finding the relationship between the flat zone length and the grinding conditions such as the cutting speed and feeding speed. The second is developing a neural network algorithm to predict the flat zone. The third is developing an image processing algorithm to measure the flat zone length of a workpiece. Slope analysis is used to determine straight and curved sections during the image processing. For verification, the estimated length and the length from the image processing are compared with the length measured by a projector. There is a minimum difference of 1.7% between the predicted and measured values. The results of this paper will be useful in compiling a database for process automation.

In the surface grinding operations, the grinding fluid cannot be supplied sufficiently in the cutting zone. Temperature generated in the cutting zone increases rapidly and causes thermal damage such as burning on the surface of a workpiece. To reduce thermal damage, the intermittent grinding wheels, which have an excellent cooling effect, have been applied. This paper describes machining characteristics by using intermittent grinding wheels. The grinding force of the intermittent wheels has been simulated by the SIMULAB, which is a program for simulating dynamic systems. Using the intermittent grinding wheels, the characteristics of grinding force, temperature, surface roughness, and geometric error have been evaluated experimently.

This paper aims at reviewing the possibility of application over normal or abnormal, detection used by AE, and the characteristics of grinding processes. In this study, when WA-vitri-fied ' resinoid bond grinding wheels:36 kinds of grinding wheel and grinding depth were tuned at the surface grinding, the zone of AE signal generation is theoretically modelled and reviewed by grinding processes. The variation of grinding resistance( F$n^{9}$ $F_{t}$) and AE signal is detected in-process by the use of AE measuring system. The tests are carried out in accordance with grain size and grade of grinding wheels, and work-pieces-STD11 and STD61. According to the experiment's results, the following can be expected;as grinding time passes by, the relation of grinding depth and quantity of AE signal, observing on AE signal and grinding burn suggest the characteristics of grinding processes and evalution on the possibility of control of grinding machine, and monitoring abnormal conditions.e, and monitoring abnormal conditions.

The goal of this study is to simplify the measurement process of the flat zone length produced by a flexible disk grinding system for the process automation. The image of workpiece in the grinding process is obtained, and the cutting speed and the feeding speed are controlled carefully to maximize the flat zone length. The gradient, the inflection point and the length of the line in the image are calculated, and the length is also measured by using a projector. Processing conditions and inversely proportional to flat zone length was changing. The flat zone length is estimated by Neural network algorithm considering the process conditions with the estimated error range as 0.06~3.61%, the Neural network algorithm for the grinding process estimation is found to be useful for building the process automation database.

This study was performed the real motion and DEM simulation of ball motion using three different types of grinding media with different size and materials in media formation for optimization of process conditions in a traditional ball mill (media ball mill). In the simulation, the rotational speed of the mill, the material of the medium, the velocity of the medium, and the coefficient of friction between the media and the wall of pot were fixed into the actual experimental conditions. The motion of various kinds of grinding media was quantitatively measured by setting the grinding zone defined in the present study on the photographs taken and the snapshot images analyzed in the simulation. In addition, we observed the quantitatively measured value and the changed morphology of the sample and examined the correlation. Therefore, it is suggested to optimize the grinding media which has the greatest influence on the grinding zone under specific experimental conditions.

Disk grinding was often applied to deburring process in order to enhance the final product quality. Inherent chamfering capability of the flexible disk grinding process in the early stage was analyzed with respect to various process parameters including workpiece length, wheel speed, depth of cut and feed. Initial chamfered edge defined as arc zone was characterized with local radius of curvature. Averaged radius and arc zone ratio was well evaluated using neural network system. Additional neural network analysis adding workpiece length showed enhance performance in predicting arc zone ratio and curvature radius with reduced error rate. A process condition design parameter was estimated using remaining input and output parameters with the prediction error rate lower than 2.0% depending on the relevant input parameter combination and neural network structure composition.

In this paper, the influence of the table speed, metal removal rate and grinding fluid on long wheel workpiece contact zone at high effect grinding was investigated by theoretical analyses and measuring the temperature, and discussed by the temperature distribution in grinding surface layer. Main results obtained are as follows, 1) Rega.dless of the table speed, the temperature gap of the workpiece(heat influx) is about 6-8 times as high in dry condition as in wet condition. 2) Good grinding condition can be obtained owing to the effect of grinding fluid without any burning defect under the condition of the metal removal rate(1.0mm$^3$/mm.s) in case of wet grinding. 3) When the depth from the surface layer is about 1.25-1.5mm under the condition of the slow table speed, surface temperature goes up higher as the table speed slows down, because long contact time is laked at the surface layer. 4) In case of the same metal removal rate, the lower the table speed becomes, the higher the surface temperature is, because grinding depth has a far more influence on wheel workpiece contact zone than the table speed.

In order to clarify detailed mechanism of the flexible disk grinding system, workpiece length was introduced and its performance was evaluated. Flat zone ratio increased as the workpiece length increased. Increasing wheel speed and depth of cut also enhanced process performance by producing larger flat zone ratio. Neural network system was successfully applied to predict minimum depth of engagement and flat zone ratio. An additional input parameter as workpiece length to the neural network system enhanced the prediction performance by reducing error rate. By rearranging the Input combinations to the network, the workpiece length was precisely predicted with the prediction error rate lower than 2.8% depending on the network structure.
