Development of new grinding fluids for CBN grinding wheels: Part IV - a study of grinding performance when two types of metal working additives are used together

摘要

This paper reports the results of studies as to whether or not any synergetic effect can be observed in grinding performance when two different types of metal working additives are used together Studies showed there was no synergetic effect observed at all in the grinding performance in a total of 12 cases The workpiece surfaces were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), it was found that grinding performance is governed by the reaction film formed on the workpiece surfaces. Further the surfaces of the workpieces tested were observed by SEM to evaluate their surface quality.
