Influence of Process Parameters on Grinding - A Review

Abstract

Grinding, a complicated machining process which has been extensively studied and documented in order to understand the subtleties of the operation being performed in different methodologies and styles. The present paper tries to encapsulate the works done by various researchers on parameters that affect the process of grinding as a whole and influence the output of the process that is the machined product. The present paper elaborates the dependencies of different parameters like grain size, grain type, type of bond, mode of grinding, depth of cut, feed, wheel wear, coolants and specific energy, on the surface finish of the product.
