VARIABLES IN GRINDING -- THEIR EFFECT ON STOCK REMOVAL, WHEELWEAR, SUR

The relationships between the induced grinding forces in cylindrical and surface grinding, and machine stiffness, and metal removal parameter are developed. Volumetric metal removal parameters are given for Cr-Mo tool steel and a W-Va steel. The effect of wheel-work conformity on metal removal in grinding high temperature heat resistant alloys is discussed. The grinding variables important to the surface integrity problem are discussed. Experimental curves are given illustrating the conditions required to maintain satisfactory surface integrity. The basic parameters involved in regenerative grinding chatter are developed and illustrated for the internal grinding of No. 3920 roller bearing cups. References.
