In tis study the effects of the maximum grit depth of cut on the grinding characteristics were investigated. They are AE signals produced during grinding processes have been studied to find out the appropriate AE parameters for assessing grinding processes. SM45C steel has been ground under the conditions yielding removal rate of workpiece 100, 200,300, and 400m{{{{ {m }^{3 } }}}}/min which was achieved by altering workpiece velocity(v) and apparent depth of cut(Z). According to the experimental result the value of surface roughness increases but grinding power energy rate of AE signal(AErmas2) and specific grinding energy consumed decrease as increasing the maximum grit depth of cut.

In this study, the effects of the maximum grit depth of cut on the grinding characteristics were investigated. And AE signals produced during grinding processes have been studied to find out the appropriate AE parameters for assessing grinding processes. S45C steel has been ground under the conditions yielding removal rate of workpiece, 100, 200, 300 and 400rnm$^3$/min which was achived by altering workpiece velocity($\upsilon$) and apparent depth of cut(Z). According to the experimental results, the value of surface roughness increases but grinding power, energy rate of AE signal(AErms$^2$) and specific grinding energy consumed decrease with increase of the maximum grit depth of cut.

Structural ceramics such as $Al_2O_3$, SIC, and $Si_3N_4$ are difficult to grind materials because of their high hardness and brittleness. They are normally ground in brittle mode, but it is possible to be ground in ductile mode depending upon the grinding conditions. In this paper an experimental investigation has been carried out to see the relationship between the grinding energy and grinding mode. It has been found that the ductile mode grinding consumes more grinding energy than the brittle mode grinding. Thus, the grinding conditions of the higher specific grinding energy leads to the plastic deformation in the ground surface of workpiece and results in the better surface finish.

This paper aims at reviewing the possibility application over normal or abnormal, detection used by AE and the wear characteristics of grinding process. In this study, when diamond bur in dentistry with chosen grinding conditions were tuned at grinding. The variation of grinding resistance and AE signal is detected by the use of AE measuring system. The tests are carried out in accordance with diamond burs and workpiece: arcyl and bovine. According to the experiment results, the following can be expected: AE has the possibility to detect the state normality and abnormality. Hpwever, the grinding resistance measuring can find it difficult to detect it. It can be accurately excepted from AE occurrence pattern in contact start point of diamond bur and bovine, grinding condition and derailment point. It is known that AErms is well compatible with grinding resistance. According to the increase of the material removal rate, the specific energy of the diamond bur is inclined to dectease and the grinding resistance has a tendency to increase.

Although structural ceramics have excellent mectanical properties, it is very difficult to grind with high efficiency and high quality because of their high strength, hardness, and brittleness. Unfortunately machined ceramics often contain surface damages such as micro fracture and crack on account of brittle fracture. Therefore, is is important to minimize the brittle fracture. The present paper examines grinding characteristics of representative structural ceramics,such as Al /sab 2/O /sab 3/, SiC, Si /sab 3/ N /sab 4/. Effects of grinding variables including table speed and depth of cut on the grinding performance were investigated. Experimental results show that the surface quality is related to the specific grindings energy. The higher specific energy results in the better surface quality.

This study reports the grinding characteristics of quartz. Grinding experiments were performed at various grinding conditions including wheel mesh, table speed and depth of cut. The grinding forces and specific grinding energies were measured. Surface roughness was also measured with tracer and the ground surfaces were observed with SEM. A new parameter SDR(Surface roughness Direction Ratio) is proposed to characterize the grinding mechanisms of quartz. A set of experiments was performed to verify the effectiveness of the suggested parameter. The experimental results indicate that the ductile mode is the dominant material removal mode at the grinding conditions which show the higher value of SDR whereas the material is removed by brittle fracture in a lower value of SDR value increases with wheel mesh size.

This investigation reports the grinding characteristics of quartz. Grinding experiments were performed at various grinding conditions including wheel mesh, table speed and depth of cut. The grinding forces and specific grinding energies were measured to compare the grindability of quartz with those of structural ceramics such as A1$_2$O$_3$, SiC, Si$_3$N$_4$ and ZrO$_2$. Surface roughness was also measured with tracer and the ground surfaces were observed with SEM. The chip formation energy of quartz was about 6J/㎣, which is quite smaller than those of structural ceramics. Although plastic flows are occured in Si$_3$N$_4$ and ZrO$_2$, micro/macro cracks are occured in ground surface of quartz like in A1$_2$O$_3$ and SiC.

This paper aims at reviewing the Possibility application over normal or abnormal, detection used by AE and the wear characteristics of grinding process. In this study, when diamond bur in dentistry with chosen grinding conditions were tuned at grinding. The variation of grinding resistance and hE signal is detected by the use of AE measuring system. The tests are carried out in accordance with diamond burs and workpiece; arcyl and bovine. According to the experiment results, the following can be expected; AE has the possibility to detect the state normality and abnormality. However, the grinding resistance measuring can find it difficult to detect it. It can be accurately excerpted from AE occurrence pattern in contact start point of diamond bur and bovine, grinding condition and derailment point. It is known that AE$\_$rms/ is well compatible with grinding resistance. According to the increase of the material removal rate, the specific energy of the diamond bur is inclined to decrease and the grinding resistance has a tendency to increase.

This paper aims to clarify the effects of grinding conditions on the grinding force, ground surface and chipping size of workpiece in surface grinding of various ferrites with the resin bond diamond wheel. The main conclusions obtained were as follows: In a constant peripheral wheel speed, the specific grinding energy is fitted by straight lines with grinding depth coefficient($\delta$) in a logarithmic graph. The effect of both depth of cut and workpiece speed on grinding energy becomes larger in the order of Mn-Zn, Cu-Ni-Zn and Sr. When using the diamond grain of the lower toughness, the roughness of the ground surface becomes lower. The ground surfaces show that the fracture process during grinding becomes more brittle in the order of Sr, Mn-Zn and Cu-Ni-Zn. The chipping size at the corner of workpiece in grinding increases with the the increases of the depth of cut and workpiece speed, and the decrease of peripheral wheel speed. The effect of both depth of cut and workpiece speed on chipping size becomes more larger in the order of Sr, Mn-Zn and Cu-Ni-Zn.

In this paper, the relationship between the mechanical properties of alumina abrasives and grinding performance was investigated. Micro vickers hardness and fracture strength of all abrasives used in this study were measured. The grinding experiments were earned out with alumina grinding wheels made by various kinds of alumina abrasives including 32A, WA, ART, ALOMAX, and RA. The performance of such grinding wheel for grinding SKD11 was evaluated by specific grinding energy, grinding-ratio, and surface roughness. The grinding wheels composed by the harder abrasives and the lower fracture strength abrasives showed better grinding performance.
