In this study, a grinding force model for micro-grinding (Carbon Nanotubes) CNTs/2009Al composites was established. In micro-grinding, the mechanism by which the grinding parameters affect the grinding force is discovered. Using ABAQUS software, a non-uniform finite element simulation model of the single abrasive grain grinding process of the CNT/2009AL composite was developed. The micro-grinding experiment of the CNT/2009AL composite was performed using an electroplated diamond grinding rod with a diameter of 2mm based on the orthogonal test method, and the impact of grinding parameters on the grinding force was examined. The findings reveal that the grinding depth has the biggest impact on the grinding force, followed by the feed rate, while the spindle speed has the least impact. Additionally, as the grinding depth increases, the tangential force generated by the process increases while the radial force decreases. The relative error of the simulation and experimental data is 1.18%, which confirms the correctness of the simulated grinding. Through simulations of grinding, it has been determined that pull-out, fracture, and elastic deformation are the primary methods of CNT removal.
