Proposal of optimum grinding cycles from a viewpoint of surface damaged layers

Abstract

According to the previous study, damaged layers can be removed in a spark-out process by low static stiffness condition. This study proposes a principle of designing method of optimum grinding cycles without damaged layers. In this proposal, grinding cycle consists of two infeed processes and one spark-out process. As the experimental results, it is confirmed that damaged layers generated infeed process can be eliminated in the proposed grinding cycle.
