Grinding
Grinding is the most common form of abrasive
machining.
It is a material cutting process which engages an
abrasive tool whose cutting elements are grains
of abrasive material known as grit.
These grits are characterized by sharp cutting
points, high hot hardness, and chemical stability
and wear resistance.
The grits are held together by a suitable bonding
material to give shape of an abrasive tool.
Grinding can be compared with milling with an
infinite number of cutting edge.
Advantages of Grinding
Dimensional accuracy
Good surface finish
Good form and locational accuracy
Applicable to both hardened and unhardened
material
Applications of Grinding
Surface finishing
Slitting and parting
Descaling, deburring
Stock removal (abrasive milling)
Finishing of flat as well as cylindrical surface
Grinding of tools and cutters and resharpening

However, grits having large negative rake angle
or rounded cutting edge do not form chips but
may rub or make a groove by ploughing leading
to lateral flow of the workpiece material.

The axial feed is calculated by the equation
F = dN sin
where
F = feed (mm/min)
d = diameter of the regulating wheel (mm)
N = revolutions per minute of the regulating wheel

workpiece
Usually lap and workpiece are not positively
driven but are guided in contact with each other
Relative motion between the lap and the work
should change continuously so that path of the
abrasive grains of the lap is not repeated on the
workpiece.
Cast iron is the mostly used lap material.
However, soft steel, copper, brass, hardwood as
well as hardened steel and glass are also used.
