Chipping is an unavoidable phenomenon in the slot grinding process of hard and brittle materials. However, it should be reduced for the improvement of surface integrity in the manufacture of optical and semiconductor components. Electrolytic In-process Dressing (ELID) technique for metal bonded superabrasive grinding wheel has been developed for mirror surface grinding of hard and brittle materials. Electrically dressed wheel surface has sharply exposed abrasives and results in lower grinding force, higher grinding efficiency in grinding. The paper deals with a newly developed method for slot grinding using ELID and was implemented to improve grooved surface quality and decreases chipping size on the edge of the groove. As a result, we accomplished chipping-free grooves and obtained the clear ground surfaces on glass and WC.

A measure for good products manufactured by grinding process is the surface roughness that is affected by a lot of operating parameters such as types of abrasive, grain size, bond material, wheel speed, table speed, depth of cut, hardness of workpiece and stiffness of grinding machine. In this study, an application of the design of experiments was tried for evaluating the effect of operating parameters on the surface roughness. The workpiece was a high speed tool steel(SKH51) and the surface grinding was conducted. In order to obtain the best surface roughness within constraints of the working range, the optimal grinding conditions were selected. The usefulness of this method was evaluated by the statistical strategy.

To manufacture alumina products, sintering and grinding process are needed. In Al2O3 grinding, macro/micro surface fracture and cracks are easily occurred on the ground surface because of its high brittleness. In view point of fatigue fracture, surface profile produced by grinding is considered as notches. Therefore, it was reasonable that magnitudes and shapes of surface profiles effects on fatigue strength and life. Particularly, surface finish of Al2O3 which have high hardness and brittleness have an effect on fatigue strength. In this paper, some experiments are carried out to examine influence of grinding conditions to magnitude and shape of surface profile as well as the relationships of Ra, Rmax, Rmax/Ra, and Ku. Through the experimental results, It is found that Ra and Rmax was affected by grinding conditions, but Rmax/Ra and Ku was not. There are linear relations between Ra and Rmax, and between Rmax/Ra and Ku.

Conventional grinding of BK7 glass will normally result in brittle fracture at the surface, generating severe sub-surface damage and poor surface finish. The precision grinding of BK7 glass in parallel grinding modes has been investigated. Grinding process, maximum chip thickness, ductile/brittle regime, surface roughness and sub-surface damage have been addressed. Special attention has been given to the condition for generating a ductile mode response on the ground surface. Experiments reveal that the level of surface roughness and depth of sub-surface damage vary differently for different condition. This study gives an indication of the strategy to follow to achieve high quality ground surfaces on brittle materials.

Grinding temperature between a grinding wheel and a workpiece surface, rising rapidly during a machining operation, has bad effects on a surface integrity such as the burning, the residual stress and the crack. In this study, the temperature distribution was obtained briefly by the finite element method and the grinding temperature of a workpiece varying with the grinding condition was measured experimentally. For obtaining the grinding temperature, a thermocouple method was applied. Three thermocouples were inserted in a surface of each workpiece. Changed grinding conditions were the depth of cuts, the feedrate, the dry and wet grinding, the up and down grinding and the number of pieces.

In grinding operations, one of the most important problems is to increase efficiency of process. In order to achieve this purpose, it is necessary to administer the tool lift of grinding wheel and to optimize grinding conditions. Frequently dressing result in lowering the process efficiency remarkably and makes production cost high. On the other hand, grinding with a worn wheel causes the workpiece surface roughness to increase and often results in the occurrence of such troubles as chatter vibration and homing.

One must observe abrasive grain of grinding wheel and know their behaviors to understand the grinding mechanism. The behaviors of abrasive grain on the wheel surface. such as shapes distributions and changes were studied to make the grinding mechanism clear but the behaviors of abrasive grains on CBN wheel are not known enough. From this paper the working surface of a grinding wheel is observed by photography in which a picture of a wheel surface is taken by the camera through the microscope on the grinding machine and analyzed with the computer.

We investigated the cell activity of controlled titanium surface using various grinding methods including ELID (Electrolytic In-Process Dressing) grinding method. The influence of titanium surface condition by each grinding process on the cell activity was evaluated by ALP activity of MSC(Mesenchymal Stem Cells). The ALP activity of controlled surface by ELID grinding process using # 2000 wheel was higher than that of other titanium surface. The morphological, chemical properties of machined surface by grinding method was observed using various analytical method.

In this study, experiments of high speed grinding had been earned out in a STD11 specimen for evaluating the grindability with designed CBN grinding wheels Ground surfaces were analyzed and evaluated by means of surface Integrities and wheel damages. The surface roughness and 3 dimensional profile had been used for analyzing the micro-surface integrity. The residual stress of the ground surface had been measured by the x-ray diffraction method. Also, the surface state of the ground specimens and the grinding wheels were evaluated by a metallurgical microscope and SEM system after high speed grinding in order to choose the suitable machining conditions.
