In recent years, grinding techniques for precision machining of stainless steel used in shaft, screw parts and clear value have been improved by using the superabrasive wheel and precision grinding machine. The completion of optimum dressing of superabrasive wheel makes possible the effective precision grinding of stainless steel. However, the present dressing system cannot have control of optimum dressing of the superabrasive wheel. In this study, a new system and the grinding mechanism of optimum in-process dressing of superabrasive wheel. Therefore, the optimum in-process electrolytic dressing is a good method to obtain the efficiency and mirror-like grinding of stainless steel (STS304)

An abrasive vitreous bonded solid mass having a vitrified abrasive structure comprising diamond grains which are held by an in inorganic bonding agent, the vitrified diamond wheel is impregnated with a composition which comprises a thermosetting synthetic resin and a surfactant. The vitrified diamond wheel is manufactured by preparing the composition including the resin and the surfactant, impregnating the abrasive structure with the composition, and curing the composition. The diamond wheel newly developed showed excellent performance in grinding carbide.

A problem in the grinding process using the machining center(MC) with a small diametric wheel is the machining error due to due to decrease of quill diameter. In this paper, a side-cut grinding is performed with a vitrified bonded CBN wheel by the MC, and the relation between grinding force and machining error for grinding conditions is investigated experimentally. It is show that the normal force has a significant effect on the machining error.

This study aims to find the optimal cutting conditions, which are obtained by grinding condition, and the grinding characteristics and condition of constant velocity joint were investigated with respect to wheel velocity, depth of cut, feed speed. Grinding machine has been widely used in manufacturing optical reflects of metal. Such as steel are easy to be machined because of their proper material. As a result I obtained the data of grinding conditions makes good surface roughness and the optimal condition of grinding and get the mesh condition. The purpose of this study is to find the optimum grinding wheel characteristics for cutting constant velocity joint.

Electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) grinding is a new technique for achieving a nanoscale surface finish on hard and brittle materials such as optical glass and ceramics. This process applies an electrochemical dressing on the metal-bonded diamond wheels to ensure constant protrusion of sharp cutting grits throughout the grinding cycle. In conventional ELID grinding, a constant source of pulsed DC power is supplied to the ELID cell, but a feedback mechanism is necessary to control the dressing power and obtain better performance. In this study, we propose a new closed-loop wheel dressing technique for grinding wheel truing that addresses the efficient correction of eccentric wheel rotation and the nonuniformity in the grinding wheel profile. The technique relies on an iterative control algorithm for the ELID power supply. An inductive sensor is used to measure the wheel profile based on the gap between the sensor head and wheel edge, and this is used as the feedback signal to control the pulse width of the power supply. We discuss the detailed mathematical design of the control algorithm and provide simulation results that were confirmed experimentally.

The diamond wheel with superabrasive is required for mirror-like surface grinding of brittle materials. But the conventional dressing mothod can not apply to the diamond wheel with superabrasive. Recently electrolytic dressing method was developed for cast-iron bonded diamond wheel with superabrasive. This technique can take replace of lapping and polishing. Using the electrolytic dressing, the surface roughness of workpiece was improved largely and grinding force was very low and the continuity of the grinding force was also very improved. In this study, the purpose is the realization of mirror-like surface grinding of ferrite with electrolytic dressing of metal bonded diamond wheel. For application of ultraprecision grinding for brittle material, superabrasive wheel, air spindle and inprocess electrolytic dressing were used. In addition, the effects of pick current and pulse width on ground surface were investigated, and the suitable dressing conditions for ferrite were found out.

The grinding operation is an important machining process for machining of final surface. However, grinding process has inevitable troubles such as loading and glazing for grinding wheel. It is, therefore, an essential research theme to determine the wheel life and the dressing time for efficient grinding. In this study, AE signals (AEavg) generated in the grinding operation were measured and the dressing time was determined from the analysis of the AEavg value. To verify the propriety of the obtained result, the AE signals measured on the grinding and the dressing operation were compared with the grinding force signals and the dressing force which were measured at same time. From the obtained result, it was confirmed that the determination of the wheel life and the dressing tilde by the AE measurement technique proposed in this study can be practically used.

This paper provides a highly efficient grinding for ferrous materials using ELID-grinding method. The grinding efficiency using ELID gring method with CIFB-cBN wheel and CB-cBN wheel is compared with general grinding method with V-cBN wheel. This paper measured grinding ratio for plunge grinding and grinding resistance for traverse grinding in order to investigate grinding ability. The results show that ELID grinding methods is useful for the high efficient grinding of ferrous materials.

In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate the characteristics of grinding and wear process of diamond wheel during grinding ceramic materials. Normal component of grinding resistance was decreasing while increase of spindle speed. The resistance of vitrified bond wheel was less then that of resinoid bond wheel because of imbedded large holes on the surface of cutting edge. Surface roughness was decreasing while increase of spindle speed. The surface roughness using vitrified bond wheel was less than that of resinoid bond wheel because of small elastic deformation. After continuous finding of ceramics, cutting edge ratio of resinoid bond wheel decreased. For the case of vitrified bond wheel, cutting edge ratio did not change.

In normal grinding abrasive particles of a grinding wheel rotate on planes parallel to the direction of workpiece fred. which may induce continued scratch lines on ground surface as the workpiece feeds. Instead in helical scan grinding the planes make an angle, called a helical angle, with the feeding direction. Thus scratch lines produced by abrasive particles per one revolution are discontinued which implies that the generation of scratch lines are suppressed by the helical scan grinding. In this study some experimental works have been done on the helical scan grinding of glass to find the effects of grinding conditions on the surface roughness and estimate the optimal grinding conditions. The helical angle, fred rate, material removal rate and the wheel speed are taken as factors for three kinds of grinding wheels i.e., coarse(#140 mesh), medium(#400) and fine(#800) diamond wheels. The experiments are scheduled by Taguchi technique and ANOVA has been carried out for the interpretation of the results. As a result of this study effects of the factors are verified quantitatively showing that the major factors are changed according to the wheel's mesh size and the helical angle is one of the influencing factors on the surface quality.
