Fine Grinding (flat parts – single or double-side) is the abrasive machining process for removing material using a bonded Superabrasive wheel at low speed with a liquid to keep the part cool. The fixed grain of a geometrically indefinable cutting shape acts like a plow (fig. 3) and material is removed by micro-grooving /-cutting (fig. 4).

Grinding is used in many applications during final finishing of heat-treated parts. It is a high-energy process with much of the energy converted to heat. This heat can cause detrimental residual stress and microstructural changes that can reduce product life. Proper control of the grinding operation is critical to reduce grinding burn. References

The smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method was introduced to simulate the quartz glass grinding process with a single grain under micro-nano scale. To investigate the mechanism of brittle–ductile transition, such factors as the machining depth, grinding force, maximum equivalent stress, and residual stress were analyzed. The simulation results indicate that quartz glass can be …

The machine used in the experimentation of this work was a GER CU-1000 CNC cylindrical grinding machine, in which the specimens were clamped between centers with a drag claw.

Grinding machine-related factors can affect the workpiece surface finish. These include: Wheel/hub assembly balance: If the grinding wheel assembly is not balanced to an acceptable level, it can result in chatter and/or poor surface finish. Balancing can be carried out using equipment such as a static balancer, dynamic/manual balancer or an ...

In this application, the grinding of a crankshaft journal was checked for unfavorable stresses due to overheating during grinding, also known as grinding burn. The problem: Metallic components which are machined may be subject to abusive heat and work during the machining …

Highlights Pits were more likely to be associated with surface defects induced by machining but tendency was not overwhelming. Stress corrosion cracks developed from pits, with cracks emerging both at the surface and within the pit. Stress corrosion cracking was attributed to a combination of high tensile residual stress and nanocrystalline layer. Stress corrosion cracking was …

The stress relieved material will still distort from machining but to a far lesser degree. In fully stress relieved materal machining produces a thin film of conpressive stresses causing the material to bow convex from the tool's passage. Different meaterials produce greater or lesser response.

Subsurface damage (SSD) and grinding damage-induced stress (GDIS) are a focus of attention in the study of grinding mechanisms. Our previous study proposed a load identification method and analyzed the GDIS in a silicon wafer ground (Zhou et al., 2016, "A Load Identification Method for the GDIS Distribution in Silicon Wafers," Int. J. Mach. Tools Manuf., 107, pp. 1–7.).

Machining 101: What is Grinding? Grinding takes an abrasive — often attached to a wheel — and uses its many grains to cut a workpiece. Variations on this process are useful for a wide variety of applications. #Basics. Evan Doran. Assistant Editor. On its surface, grinding seems simple: a machine takes a rotating tool (usually a wheel) with ...

Answer (1 of 2): I have been an engineer for many years but I have never heard of 'low stress grinding. During my training, I used surface grinding machines, internal and external grinding machines, for cylinders etc, bench grinders (for sharpening tools) and I have seen (but not used) gear tooth...

Surface grinding technique: roughing corner/finishing corner. A few years ago, when I got my first surface grinder, Buck suggested a technique that I now use a lot. Case in point: I cut a 50 x 400mm strip of 1.2842 (90MnCrV8 or AISI O2 tool steel) from a 10 x 150 x 400mm plate. The plate was ground parallel both sides (Blanchard) but after I ...
