In the grinding of difficult-to-machine material, the major problems of conventional grinding are grinding burn, wheel wear, grinding surface crack, loading and glazing. When a conventional grinding wheel is used, wheel wear and grinding surface crack easily occur in low heat conductive material and annealed steel. Intermittent grinding is suitable for difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloy aluminum alloy and copper alloy.
The purpose of this paper is to develope a new type intermittent wheel of the grinding system for improving the problem of stainless steel grinding, observe the effect of intermittent grinding on surface quality and grinding force, show the advantages of intermittent grinding wheel and understand the grinding characteristics of stainless steel grinding using intermittent grinding wheel. Surface quality has been improved in stainless steel grinding by using intermittent grinding wheel. The characteristics of intermittent grinding system are improved surface quality, low grinding temperature and low loading.
