The Effects of Wear upon the Axial Profile of a Grinding Wheel in the Construction of Innovative Grinding Wheels for Internal Cylindrical Grinding

الملخص EN

The article describes the effects of wear upon the axial profile of a grinding wheel in the axial cylindrical grinding processes.

This mechanism was used to develop a grinding wheel with zone diversified structure made of microcrystalline sintered corundum abrasive grains and vitrifies bond.

Such a grinding wheel is characterized by the conical rough grinding zone that is made by grains of a relatively large size, and a cylindrical finish grinding zone with grains of a smaller size and can be used in the single-pass grinding processes.

Investigative tests conducted using newly-developed grinding wheels were described.

Investigations were operated in the single-pass internal cylindrical grinding process of 100Cr6 steel.

A comparison of results obtained using a zone diversified structure grinding wheel, with reference to a grinding wheel with grains of one size, were given.

The analysis provides the roughness of the grinded surface, the grinding power, as well as chosen indicators of grinding efficiency.

Experimental results obtained with use of a zone-diversified grinding wheel, built from relatively cheap grains of microcrystalline sintered corundum, showed that it is possible to obtain large material removal rate Qw up to approximately 24 mm3/s and high quality of machined surface (Ra=0.16–0.39 μm).
