“…At higher downfeed, it happens due to the more cutting edges of abrasive grits engaged with the workpiece surface, resulting in more friction between the abrasive wheel and the workpiece interface area. Awale et al 32 conducted a grinding experiment on AISI H13 die steel under Small Quantity Lubrication (SQL) grinding process. They reported a higher grinding force at 32 µm downfeed with each number of grinding passes in comparison to 8 µm downfeed under all SQL conditions.…”

“…It shows that in a steady state, the ground surface produced by UAG has a shorter running-in phase and better bearing performance. According to Awale et al 32 the surface quality of ground samples was investigated by bearing area curve analysis under MQL with vegetable oils lubricants which play a significant role in understanding the friction properties and wear characteristics.…”

Grinding generates a lot of heat in the grinding zone area during operation. Therefore, it is important to keep the temperature under control by using various cutting fluids to get a good ground surface quality. The existence of a stiff air layer surrounding the abrasive wheel is known to waste most of the cutting fluid supply in the interface area between the abrasive wheel and workpiece. Due to the high grinding speed, stiff air layers prevent cutting fluids from entering the interface area. Hence, to enhance the grinding performance, cryogenic cooling has been introduced to improve the penetration into the stiff air layer. The current work investigates the grindability of the ground surface of AISI D2 tool steel under different environments: dry, wet, and cryogenic, regarding grinding forces (i.e. tangential and normal force), specific grinding energy, and surface characterisation. This paper also proposed a method to evaluate image-based Abbott–Firestone curve (bearing area curve) parameters to characterise the ground surface topography. Significant reductions in grinding forces (64%–67% and 44%–50% in Ft, 54%–58% and 34%–39% in Fn), low specific grinding energy (64%–67% and 44%–50%), decrease in surface roughness (46%–51% and 30%–36% in Ra, 37%–41% and 31%–35% in Rz), improved 2D and 3D roughness profiles and higher bearing area ratio (89.54%) were observed at 40 µm downfeed in cryogenic cooling environments compared to dry and wet environments, respectively. Thus, observations show the importance of cryogenic cooling across the experimental domain.

Grinding is a manufacturing process which significantly contributes in producing high precision and durable components required in numerous applications such as aerospace, defence and automobiles. This review article is focused to uncover history, witness the present and predict the future of the grinding process. While going through the literature, it has been observed that minimal work has been done in explaining the history, present status and future scopes of the grinding process. In this era of information and environmental awareness, sustainability aspects have become a primary concern of almost every research field. In the grinding process too, the research work includes ecological elements such as reducing the consumption of cutting fluids through minimum quantity lubrication, utilizing cryogenics, hybrid lubrication and cooling techniques that are still required to be explored critically. Further, some significant findings of the prevailing research in grinding include modification in grinding wheel surface, merging different grinding principles such as usages of the textured grinding wheel, ultrasonic grinding, 3D printing of grinding wheel and artificial intelligence in grinding are also presented. Another unascertained problem is the management of grinding swarf, which is being attended to by recycling it to fabricate composites which is expected to be another prominent domain of research. Further, the advancements taking place exhibit the potential of the grinding process, suggesting that its future is bright and ever-growing.

“…Soybean oil with low viscosity had good lubricant wettability in the grinding zone, but castor oil had outstanding lubrication performance, resulting in excellent surface quality with the smallest surface roughness. 110 In addition, minimized lubricant consumption is demanded for greener environment and products and lower machining costs. Machining of aluminium alloys was conducted by Niknam and Jalali using MQL with bio- and mineral-lubricants.…”

This article discusses the surface roughness of wood and advanced engineering materials after machining and its prediction. The topics are surface roughness of precision-machined advanced engineering materials, machining of WC and Inconel, rapidly solidified Al alloys, surface roughness of wood materials, and prediction of surface roughness. Findings include that ductile streaks on silicon and glass surfaces ground or lapped with inexpensive machines largely reduced the polishing time to obtain the required surface roughness. Abrasive jet machining could remove the patterns from recycled wafers and improve the surface roughness. The roughness of WC-Co coatings was significantly improved by using the method of fast regime fluidized bed machining. As beryllium is a toxic element, the rapidly solidified Al alloy may be a good insert material to replace BeCu. Higher bonding strengths resulted from rougher surfaces of wood samples. Wood samples had reduced bonding strengths after soaking in water. Optimum artificial neural networks (ANNs) with necessary inputs could accurately predict the roughness values. ANNs trained using particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithms could predict surface roughness better than typical ANNs. Minimum quantity lubrication is a hot research topic to minimize the amount of the fluid for cost and environmental considerations.
