“…Davis and Rubenstein [120] showed that the rate of change in grinding force increases slightly after a transition point is reached then settles down to steady-state conditions. Pattison and Chisholm [96] showed that grinding forces are affected by the dressing conditions, which has been confirmed by Rowe et al [121,122] 2. A phase where forces are constant and heat flow into the grit and workpiece is in equilibrium.…”

The manufacture of high performance grinding wheels is heavily dependent upon the selecting the correct abrasive grain in terms of cutting ability, fracturing ability and the shape of the grain that controls metal removal rate, dressing interval, coolant delivery to the wheel-workpiece interface and chip evacuation. This chapter explains the recent developments in abrasive grains and bonding systems and should allow the reader to better select the correct abrasive grain and bonding system to economically machine materials.

“…Conventional vitrified bond wheels are generally dressed using diamond tools to correct the profile accuracy and to sharpen the wheel surface. Dressing time is non-productive so it is an advantage if wheels can grind for a long time before needing to be redressed [38]. Vitrified CBN wheels may also be dressed but dressing consumes valuable CBN material.…”

Over the last century, substantial advances have been made, based on improved understanding of the requirements of grinding processes, machines, control systems, materials, abrasives, wheel preparation, coolants, lubricants, and coolant delivery. This paper reviews a selection of areas in which the application of scientific principles and engineering ingenuity has led to the development of new grinding processes, abrasives, tools, machines, and systems. Topics feature a selection of areas where relationships between scientific principles and new techniques are yielding improved productivity and better quality. These examples point towards further advances that can fruitfully be pursued. Applications in modern grinding technology range from high-precision kinematics for grinding very large lenses and reflectors through to medium size grinding machine processes and further down to grinding very small components used in micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) devices. The importance of material issues is emphasized for the range of conventional engineering steels, through to aerospace materials, ceramics, and composites. It is suggested that future advances in productivity will include the wider application of artificial intelligence and robotics to improve precision, process efficiency, and features required to integrate grinding processes into wider manufacturing systems.

“…It involved the dislodgment of whole abrasive grains. Other authors, examining dressed wheels, found abundant evidence of brittle fracture (Malkin, 1989;Rowe, 1993;Kirk, 1976). Tonshoff (1992) published a comprehensive survey of topography models.…”

& This article is in two parts describing the analysis and simulation of the disc dressing process and its effect on grinding performance. This part is concerned with the generation of the wheel surface by a diamond disc dresser. A new stochastic model of the prediction of wheel topography by diamond disc dresser is developed. It predicts the number of active grains per unit area and average slope of grains of the alumina grinding wheel. This model is based on the fracture of grits and it considers the kinematical influences of the disc dressing process on wheel surface. It is possible to analyze the effects of changing dressing parameters on the wheel topography. The topography that is generated from this model provides a basis for further prediction of the grinding performance.
