The Surface Characteristics of Workpiece by Wear of Wheel

The surface roughness is one of important parameters to obtain the high quality of products in grinding process. In precision components, it's level must be limited to a certain range. This study evaluated experimentally grinding characteristics of workpieces in the surface grinding process. The grinding forces were obtained to compare with the grindability of workpieces such as STD11, STS304 and STB2. The surface roughnesses on various workpieces were measured according to increasing the feed and the depth of cut. In addition, the wear amount of wheels according to the number of grinding were obtained. Also the grinding wheel and the ground surface were observed with a microscopic instrument.
