Using the appaiatus reported in the previous paper, the author measured the grinding forces with "through wheel coolant" supply. The pieces of annealed carbon steel (Hv 132) and hardened high speed steel (Hv 800) were ground with various coolants ; water, emulsion, kerosene and soybean oil, besides dry grinding reference. The results obtained are as follows
:1) Specific grinding energy varies remarkably with the change of coolant which is fed through the wheel. In grinding annealed carbon steel pieces by a A46N wheel, the specific grinding energy with soybean oil is about half of that with water or dry grinding, as shown in Table 1.
2) Analysing the tangential grinding forces in the way reported in the previous paper, the values of the coefficient of friction in grinding are determined as shown in Table 2. When soybean oil is used, they become as small as one third of those in dry grinding.
3) Specific shearing forces are calculated numerically as pure shearing forces of chips. For hardened high speed steel, they are about 4000 kg/mm
2 ; and for annealed carbon steel, they are about 2000 kg/mm
2.
4) Experimental formulae representing the grinding forces are introduced for various coolants and work materials. And also the ratios of the shearing terms to the total forces are calculated as shown in Fig. 8.
