- Abstract:
- A detailed study on grinding of metal matrix composites with resin bonded and plated diamond wheels have been carried out to evaluate the surface quality. The measurands namely grinding force and temperature during grinding were monitored online. Surface finish was measured offline using a stylus based instrument and the ground surface was observed through Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) for process status evaluation. From the study, it was found that better surface quality (based on surface finish and SEM of machined surface) was achievable with resin bonded wheel as compared to electroplated wheel. Also electroplated wheel experiences higher order force.
