Cylindrical plunge grinding is widely used for final machining process of precision parts such as automobile, aircraft, measurement units. But in order to make parts which have high precision accuracy and high surface integrity, it is necessary to consider grinding characteristics due to accumulation phenomena of grinding wheel in plunge grinding process. In this study, in order to examine closely plunge grinding process, grinding power, grinding force, real depth of cut are monitored in transient state, steady state and spark out state. As the result, it is shown that grinding power and force are affected by dressing condition, depth of cut and speed ratio and that there exist threshold grinding force and it also affected by dressing condition. Also considered effects of grinding conditions on surface roughness and roundness of workpiece

A computer simulation model for investigating a two-dimensional (2-D) rounding mechanism in a centerless grinding process is described. This model includes the interference phenomena and the concept of machining elasticity. Since initial contact points are used as a reference, the result of this simulation is not affected by the location of the reference circle center and the radius of the reference circle. Also, details of the machining factor are studied by using process variables (grinding wheel speed, wheel specification, workpiece speed, dressing condition, etc.). The effect of the threshold grinding force on the size of ground workpiece is investigated. For the verification of this method, simulation results are compared with the experimental work.

Force generated during grinding process causes elastic defomation. The effect of this deforms a workpiecs. So grinding system is explainable using the concept of macining elasticity phenomenon. Machining elasticity is defined as ratio between the true depth of c ut, and an importnat factor to affect material removal mchanism and productivity. Generally, to produce accurate surface and dimensionally precise components operators depend on their experiences. Because of these, productivity is reduced and time is wasted. The objective of this reserch is to study the effect of grinding conditions, such as table speed, depth of cut on the machining elasticity parameter.
