This paper reports some experimental results of cylindrical external grinding using CBN wheels. Many experimental studies for surface grinding have been done, but not for the cylindrical grinding due to the difficulty of grinding force measurement. In this paper a new experimental device has been proposed for the grinding force measurement in cylindrical grinding. The cylindrical grinding experiments were carried out at various grinding conditions with several CBN grinding wheels. The experimental results indicate that the CBN wheels with smaller grains result in the higher grinding forces in both SCM415 and STD11 workpieces. The grinding forces of all wheels were proportional to the infeed speeds and the difference of each wheels was prominent at high infeed speed for SCM415.

Cylindrical grinding is one of the important metal cutting processes used extensively in the finishing operation of discrete components. The inherent high cutting temperature in grinding if not controlled may lead to rapid tool wear, which in turn will lead to dimensional inaccuracy. The very nature of the grinding mechanism in material removal impairs the grounded surfaces by inducing residual stress, micro cracks and other thermal damages at the machined surface. This paper is an attempt to review some of the surface integrity issues in cylindrical grinding taken up and reported by number of researchers over the years. This review may have been planned to be useful to the researchers and other professionals interested to work on grinding.

In this paper, grinding characteristics of cylindrical plunge grinding in 200m/sec of grinding velocity was investigated by use of vitrified CBN wheel. From the experimental result, it was convinced that grinding power is decreased 2.5times and grinding efficiency is heightened 3times more according to increasing wheel velocity 80m/sec to 200m/sec And also, be expected to improvement of surface roughness and roundness by increasing the wheel velocity.

The ELID(electrolytic in-process dressing) grinding method is a new precision grinding technique with the special electrolytic in-process dressing by metal bonded grinding wheel, fluid, and power supply. It is possible to make a efficient precision machining of hard and brittle materials such as ceramics, hard metals, and quenched steels by using this method, In this study, a new efficient precision grinding method with ELID was attempted for application to the machining and finishing processes of cylindrical structural components. And, we try to develop the cylindrical grinding technique for mirror surface of ceramics, tungsten carbide and SCM steel, and for the high efficiency grinding of machined parts, for example, ball screw shaft. Electrical characteristics of three different wheel grit sizes of #325, #2000 and #4000 were investigated experimentally. ELID grinding method is proved to be useful for mirror surface generation and efficient machining.

This paper presents monitoring and control system to decrease non-production time such as air grinding and partial contact in cylindrical plunge grindings. The 4-stage model of the plunge grinding process is proposed according to the state of contact between grinding wheel and workpiece; air grinding, partial contact, entire contact and spark out. Experimentally it is seen that the AE sensor and ultrasonic sensor are very effective to detect the grinding states. Monitoring and control algorithm using recognized grinding process was introduced and a experiment were conducted to verify the developed system.

In this paper, grinding characteristics of ultra high speed cylindrical plunge grinding was investigated by use of vitrified CBN wheel. From the experimental result, it was convinced that grinding power is decreased according to the increase of wheel and workpiece speed due to changing of grinding mechanism which decreases depth of cut and length of contact curve according to increment of wheel speed. And also, stock removal reduction of each gram lead to improvement of surface roughness by increasing the wheel speed.

This paper presents multi degree analysis of self-exited vibration of grinding system including spindle and workpiece rotational effect. The governing equations are derived by applying the finite element method to structure of spindle and workpiece rotor and by estimating the grinding force. Vibration analysis is carried out for external cylindrical plunge grinding. Displacement of workpiece and grinding force is simulated with machining time. Using this model, effects of characteristics of spindle bearing and major grinding conditions on chatter growth rate are predicted. Some of results are compared with those of other previous model and show good agreements.

In the process of grinding a long slender type workpiece, such as ballscrew, by the external cylindrical grinding machine, the cylindricity of the workpiece depends on the distance of rests, the stiffness of supports, the diameter and material of workpiece. Conventionally the process needs to be supported by one or more rests to prevent static deflection and vibration. In this paper, the optimal position of the rests was investigated in order to minimize the cylindricity due to the static deflection, by taking compliance of the workpiece and structure into account. In order to obtain the optimal position of rests, a new modeling that is considering the spring effect of all support elements was established. Since it is so complicated to obtain the optimal position analytically for various conditions due to discontinuity, a genetic algorithm u as utilized.

This paper describes the machining characteristics of cylindrical plunge grinding. The study investigates the process using the current signals of a spindle motor through a hall sensor. Grinding experiments were conducted under various conditions such as wheel speeds, workpiece speeds and infeed rates with a conventional vitrified bonded wheel. Analyzing the current signal of the spindle motor, a relationship between current signals and the metal removal rate in terms of the in(red rate is induced. It was also shown that a hall sensor has similar capabilities in evaluation of grinding behavior compared to the AE signals, which are useful far monitoring the grinding process.

In the case of the external cylindrical grinding machine, the grinding mechanism can cause a wheel to vibrate due to a wheel cutter. This phenomena will bring about the unsymmetric wear up to high frequency without any relation of rotational speed. So far, when the grinding spindle is analyzed, it is assumed that a wheel is considered as lumped mass at the endof a beam. Nowadays, there is a tendency to use the wheel with a lsrge diameter or CBN wheel to achieve the high speed and accuracy grinding performance. Therefore, this kind of assumption is no longer valid. At the analysis of the grinding spindle, the parameter which dapends on the dynamic characteristics is a combination force between each part. For example, there is the tightness torque of a bolt and taper element in the grindle. In addition, the material property of the wheel can contribute the dynamic characteristics. This paper shows the mode participation of the shell mode of the wheel in the grindle and the dynamic characteristics according to the parameters which are the configuration of the flange and tightness torque of a bolt and taper. Modal parameter of the wheel, flange and the spindle can be extracted through frequency response function obtained by modal test. After that, by changing the tightness torque and kinds of wheel, we could accomplish the test in the whole combined grinding spindle. To perform modal analysis of vibration characteristics in the grinding spindle, we could develop the model of finite element method.
