Effect of micro-/macro-deformation on grinding performance of ultra-fine grain diamond wheels : Studies on mirror grinding of glass

Abstract

This paper deals with the grinding performance influenced by micro-deformation and macro-deformation. Grinding test was carried out using two wheels, which are made of different elastic modulus reins. As a result, it appears that micro-deformation influences the grinding force and the surface roughness, whereas macro-deformation influences the workpice dimensional accuracy. It is concluded that the diamond wheels that have high micro-deformation and low macro-deformation are required for high accurate mirror grinding.
