An experimental investigation on the wear of alumina grinding wheel is presented. The experiments consist of the measurements of fracture strength of the abrasive grains, grinding forces, and the area of wear flats of grinding wheels. Microscopic examinations of abrasive grains were also carried out to observe the progress of wheel wear. the results show that the 32A grain, which has relatively lower fracture strength, wears out faster than 5SS and 5SG. The wheel wear occurs much faster in wet grinding than in dry grinding. It has also been found that the grinding forces increase logarithmically with increasing wear flats.

In the grinding process, the degree of the sharpness in wheel grain affects the surface roughness and the dimensional accuracy. If a wheel with dull grains is used, te grinding force will be increased and the surface roughness deteriorated. To produce a precision component, the magnitude of parameters related to the wear amount of a grinding wheel has to be limited. In this study, a variation of the grinding force and the surface roughness were measured to seek the machining characteristics of the WA and CBN wheels. From the wear amount of the grinding wheel and the removal rate of workpiece, the grinding ratio was calculated. And also the wheel life was determined at a rapid decreasing point of the grinding ratio. The difference between the surface of wheel-workpiece before grinding and after wheel life was clearly verified with a microscopic photo.
