In the grinding of difficult-to-materials, the major problmes of conventional grinding are grinding burn, wheel wear, grinding surface crack, loading and glazing, When a conventioanl grinding wheel is used, wheel wear and grinding surface crack easily occur in low heat conductive material and annealed steel. Intermittent grinding is suitable for diffcult-to-matrical such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy and copper alloy. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new type intermittent wheel of the grinding system for improving the problem of stainless steel grinding, to observe the effect of intermittent grinding on surface quality and grinding characteristics of stainless steel grinding using intermittent grinding wheel. The characteristics of intermittent grinding system improve surface quality, low grinding temperature and low loading.

In discontinuous wheel grinding, temperature is different form conventional grinding. The characteristics of discontinuous grinding with respect to various slotted wheel were compared with those of general grinding. Thermal conditions vary with intermittent ratio, direction of fluid supply for discontinous wheel. According to three direction of grinding fluid supply and intermittent ratio,temperature and surface roughness were analyzed.

Crinding of stainless steel, aluminium alloy, copper alloy, and titanium alloy are difficult to obtain high quality finish, because they have the mechanical properties such as low hardness, high toughness. The low hardness and the high toughness result in the loading of wheel and the poor surface finish. In order to perform the grinding operations for these sorts of materials easily, the discontinuous grinding wheel wiht multi-porous grooves has been newly developed. The multi-porous grooves inthe discontinuous grinding wheel were formed during grinding wheel manufacturing process. In this paper, discontinuous grinding wheels having intermittent ratio 0.66, 0.81 and number of grooves 18,32 have been manufactured and grinding surface characteristics of these grinding wheels for SUS304 have been analyzed. Discontinuous grinding temperature according to intermittent ratiohas been also estimated by simulation. The discontinuous grinding wheels increase the grinding performance considerably. It is desirable to use the discontinuous grinding wheel in grinding the materials with high efficiency and accuracy.

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.

The wavelet transform is a popular tool for studying intermittent and localized phenomena in signals. In this study the wavelet transform of cutting force signals was conducted for the diagnosis of grinding conditions in grinding process. We used the Daubechies wavelet analyzing function to detect a sudden change in cutting signal level. STD11 workpiece was 85 times of machined pieces cut by the WA wheel and a tool dynamometer obtained cutting force signals. From the results of the wavelet transform, the obtained signals were divided into approximation terms and detailed terms. At dressing time, the approximation signals were slowly increased and 45 machined times noticed dressing time.
