Like any other cutting process, grinding removes material in the form of chips. In order for a wheel to grind properly, its abrasive grains must wear and self-sharpen at a consistent rate. Otherwise, ...

Correct handling and balancing of grinding wheels are crucial for both optimal performance and safe operation. Incorrect wheel mounting can lead to poor workpiece finish and bearing failure of the ...

Surface grinders are used to produce flat, angular and irregular surfaces. In the surface grinding process, the grinding wheel revolves on a spindle; and the workpiece, mounted on either a ...

Grinding-wheel loading can be defined as ground material either adhere to abrasive grains or become embedded in voids on a grinding-wheel surface. This phenomenon deteriorates grinding-wheels, and ...

Newly developed cup-type diamond-grinding-wheels with hexagonal pattern were used to grind a hard-to-machine ceramic material, which was represented by single crystal sapphire in the present work. The ...
