Precautions to be taken before mounting a grinding wheel: In the interest of satisfactory operation and safety, it is important that grinding wheels are mounted correctly on the machine and before mounting they should be examined for any defects. 1. The wheel should be first examined for any flaw or crack which, under stresses set up due to high speed [...]
In this article we will discuss about wheel truing and dressing of a grinding wheel in the industries. Wheel Truing: Wheel truing is defined as act of restoring the cutting face of a grinding wheel by removing the abrasive material from the cutting face and sides of the wheel, so that it will run true with respect to the axis [...]
The purpose of theory of grinding is to establish relationship between the radial feed, force on individual grits of grinding wheel, velocity of grinding wheel, velocity of work and their diameters. Fig. 20.5 shows a magnified portion of the grinding wheel and work in contact with each other. It will be noted that when an abrasive gain starts to enter [...]
Grinding ratio is the quick method of evaluating the grinding wheel performance. Grinding operation removes metal very delicately, leaving a finished surface of superior dimensional accuracy and good surface texture. If it is carried out properly, there will be very less metallurgical damage due to the rise of pressure and temperature of the material being ground. Comparing with any other [...]
