Abstract
The following article examines the influence of glass-crystalline bond in grinding wheels with grains made from microcrystalline aluminum oxide, and specifically its effect upon the values of selected operational indicators in the process of traverse internal cylindrical grinding of surfaces made from Inconel® alloy 600. The experimental test results obtained showed that changes in the bond phase composition, including its microstructure and volume share in the grinding wheel, has significant influence upon the workpiece surface roughness, grinding power, and other basic phenomena within the grinding zone. It was proven that the heat and physical-mechanical properties of the bonds have considerable influence on the mechanism of the grinding wheel components (abrasive grains and bond bridges) wear mechanisms. The phenomena occurring in the area of contact between the grinding wheel active surface and the workpiece surface requires on, among other things, the temperature at which the bond softens, initial bond hardness, the critical coefficient of grain strain intensity K Ic , the crystalline phases generated, and the volumetric share of the amorphous and crystalline phases in the bridges binding the abrasive grains.
