STUDY ON FACTORS INFLUENCING WHEEL WEAR IN GRINDING PROCESS

Mechanical Engineering

Grinding is well known process in manufacturing and is widely employed for finishing of engineering components. .During grinding process acute problems such as wheel loading high cutting temperature, wheel wear occurs. Undesirable phenomenon called wheel wear has a great impact on the surface roughness and work piece quality. This project work provides the mathematical model for estimating the parameters which largely affect wheel wear. A number of independent variables such as tangential force, depth of cut, contact length, wheel speed, work piece speed, grit density affect the wheel wear directly or indirectly are correlated. Dimensional analysis tool has been used to estimate the relationship between independent variables and wheel wear. The conclusion drawn from this study is that Pi terms obtained through dimensional analysis gives the link between parameters and wheel wear
