Abstract
Recently the high removal rate grinding with high smoothness grinding has been increasingly becoming important. The influence of synthetic emulsion type grinding fluid on the traverse grinding characteristics of aluminum alloy under high depth of cut grinding, in the preaent research, is examined. From the results it is found that the characteristic obtained by using the synthetic emulsion type is much better than the emulsion type. Supplying the synthetic emulsion tyoe grinding fluid, the surface roughness of aluminum becomes below 1μm(Rz). However, the critical total wheel-workpiece contact number on the synthetic emulsion type grinding fluid is less than using the emulsion type including the chloride compound.
