Analysis of influence of the mono-crystalline corundum grinding wheel wear on grinding forces and roughness parameters in peripheral surface grinding of 100Cr6 steel

Abstract

The paper presents the experimental study conditions and results of M3X60K5VE01-35 monocorundum with vitrified bond grinding wheel wear in 100Cr6 steel peripheral grinding process. The effect of grinding wheel wear on the values of grinding force components as well as surface roughness parameters was analyzed. The grinding wheel wear was determined by profile measurement of the active grinding wheel surface using an inductive sensor. It was shown that the increase in the normal component of the grinding force during the process can be an acceptable criterion for wear of the grinding wheel due to the quasi-linear changes over time.
