Investigation of High-efficiency Abrasive Finishing

High efficiency abrasive finishing technologies are newest developed advanced machining processes to satisfy super-hardness and difficult-to-machining materials machined. In the present paper, development status and latest progresses on high efficiency abrasive finishing technologies relate to high speed and super-high speed grinding, quick point-grinding, high efficiency deep-cut grinding, creep feed deep grinding, heavy-duty snagging and abrasive belt grinding were summarized. The efficiency and parameters range of these abrasive finishing processes were compared. The key technologies of high efficiency abrasive finishing, including grinding wheel, spindle and bearing, grinder, coolant supplying, installation and orientation of wheel and workpiece and safety defended, as well as intelligent monitor and NC grinding were investigated. It is concluded that high efficiency abrasive finishing is a promising technology in the future.
