Abstract

Grinding is an important means of realizing precision and ultra-precision machining. Vibration caused by an unbalanced grinding wheel in grinding process has a significant impact on the quality of workpiece surface. However, the effect of wheel surface topography and/or the relative vibration between grinding wheel and workpiece are not considered in most researches. Taking the relative vibration between grinding wheel and workpiece into account, alongside the abrasive grain trajectory equation, a new analysis and simulation model for surface topography of the grinding process is established. The model for the topography of the grinding wheel surface is first studied, and subsequently, a new simulation model for surface topography of the grinding process is proposed. Case studies are performed at the end, and the influence of grinding wheel vibration amplitude, wheel grit number, as well as grinding parameters on the surface waviness and roughness is discussed. The simulation results could be used to optimize the actual grinding process to improve the ground surface quality or predict the surface topography by given grinding parameters.
