The Grindability Improvement of the Grinding Stone for Ceramics Grinding by Laser Dressing

Abstract

A laser dressed grinding stone (GS) possesses higher grains and more uniform grain distribution with respect to depth than a mechanically dressed GS. The matrix surface of a laser dressed GS is roughened by laser emission. Laser dressed surface topography gives a higher removed volume rate as well as lower specific grinding energy in constant pressure grinding at high pressure than a mechanically dressed surface.
