Principles of Grinding: Four Years Later

The concepts that steady state Forces and Metal Removal Rates are related by the metal Removal Parameter and the Specific Power have not changed, but the effects of coolant quality and wheel composition have been evaluated. Surface finish has been found to be a function of the average chip thickness. further work on Surface Integrity confirmed that the use of high work speed and wheel sharpness will enable compressive stresses to be produced in aircraft metals at high metal removal rates.
