The author designed a new torque-meter constituted by two pairs of bevel gears as shown in Fig. 2, and he measured the tangential grinding force and the amount of stock removal on various grinding conditions.
The rate of stock removal
M in plunge-cut grinding may be analytically expressed by the formula,
M= 0.213
wV/
r ρ(
N/
Hv)
1.5where,
w is the mean cutting edge distance of the wheel,
r is the mean radius of cutting edge assumed as a sphere,
V is the grinding speed,
N is the grinding pressure, ρ is the density and
Hv is the Vickers hardness of the work.
The tangential grinding force
T may be divided in two parts; one is the chip shearing force
Ta, and the other is the friction between the wheel and the work, μ
N, where μ is the coefficient of friction in grinding. That is,
T=
Ta+
μN.
Experimentally, a was determined as 0.2 for hardened steel and 0.55 for anneald steel. And thus, the relation between the chip shearing energy
E=
TαV/
M and the mean chip cross-sectional area a was shown in Fig. 8.
