Height Distribution of Cutting Edges in the Grinding Process

IntreductionIn traditional theory concerned with grinding process, cutting edges were assumed as follows; the distribution of cutting edges was uniformly on the working surface of grinding wheel.Particularly it had been considered that height distribution of cutting edges arranged in equal height cylindrical surface of grinding wheel.However, many experimental results differed from that of the theoretical values and the difference became more than one figure with regard to roughness of the grinding surface.In order to explain the grinding mechanism more exactly, the shape and distribution of the cutting edges in grinding process must be considered a matter of great importance and as a stochastic process.This report contains measuring equipment, observation by the microscopic examination, roughness of working wheel surface, height distribution frequency and cumulative frequency of cutting edges.
