Grinding is used as a surface finish operation in industry. In this work, to improve the performance of surface grinding, rubber tube was pasted on both the side of grinding wheel in order to reduce the generation of stiff air layer around the periphery of grinding wheel. Performance of surface grinding operation was examined by considering output parameters like surface roughness, amplitude of vibration and grinding ratio (G-ratio). It has been found that performance of surface grinding significantly improved as the surface roughness and amplitude of vibration reduces as well as G-ratio increases after pasting rubber tube on the grinding wheel.

Abstract


Grinding is used as a surface finish operation in industry. In this work, to improve the performance of surface grinding, rubber tube was pasted on both the side of grinding wheel in order to reduce the generation of stiff air layer around the periphery of grinding wheel. Performance of surface grinding operation was examined by considering output parameters like surface roughness, amplitude of vibration and grinding ratio (G-ratio). It has been found that performance of surface grinding significantly improved as the surface roughness and amplitude of vibration reduces as well as G-ratio increases after pasting rubber tube on the grinding wheel.
