There are many cylindrical grinding operations like crankshaft grinding in which the corner radius is critical and hence, the corner wear is important. Studies with a patented side-grooved wheel have shown a remarkable improvement in the performance of the wheel. With the side-grooved wheel, there was reasonable reduction in grinding forces, wheel corner wear and glazing tendencies.
This paper deals with a detailed investigation on the performance of side-grooved wheels in cylindrical plunge grinding applications.
