Modelling and Analysis of Topographic Surface Properties of Grinding Wheels

Grinding is one of the effective manufacturing processes with which to produce highly accurate parts an ultra-fine surface finish. The tool used remove materials in grinding called wheel. Abrasive grains made extremely hard (alumina, silica, cubic boron nitride, and diamond) having a definite grit size but random shape are bonded on circumferential fabrication process controlled so that wheel exhibits prescribed structure (in scale soft hard). At same time, distribution must follow grade dense open). After fabrication, dressed make sure its material removal effectiveness, itself depends topography. topography quantified by density active abrasive located surface, grains’ protrusion heights, their pore volume ratio. prediction mentioned above requires model considers entire influences properties. This study fills this gap modelling presenting simulation framework for effect results have been verified conducting experiments. will thus help manufacturers developing more wheels.
