Novel Force Modelling Technique for Grinding

Abstract

Grinding occupies a place in the machining arena as the final finishing process, which tends to exist in all machining environments. The grinding process gen erates forces that have to be countered by the robustness of the machine tool and a methodology to compute the forces that might be generated by it for deciding the type of tool and depth of cut to be used for a given variety of workpiece. Prior computation of the forces being the primary concern can be a handful of help to the industrial personnel and managements to decide on the variety of machine tool and accessories to be bought for the kind of grinding to be done. Comparison of the proposed model with the available literature shows good agreement.

Experimental Analysis and Modelling of Grinding AISI D3 Steel

“…As given by [23]. These above said relations can be solved by knowing the type of grain used in the grinding wheel, that will yield the grain radius value (r g ), the used depth of cut(d) and the hardness(H) of the workpiece material being the inputs to the equations the forces being generated during the process.…”

“…Instead of performing the experimentation the utilisation of physical models for evaluating the influencing factors is helpful for the industry personnel in guiding them to select the type of equipment for the process to be performed. This has propelled research [1,17,20,22,23] in the direction of modelling of forces and surface roughness being the primary outputs to be optimised for enhancement of productivity. Modelling of forces generated during grinding without performing experimentation is one of the primary concerns addressed and compared with experimentation by the present work.…”
