DetailsCreep-feed grinding (CFG) was a grinding process which was invented in Germany in the late 1950s by Edmund and Gerhard Lang. Normal grinding is used primarily to finish surfaces. But CFG is used for high rates of material removal, competing with milling and turning as a manufacturing process choice.

DetailsSurface grinding is a very vital machining process. Surface grinding is carried out on a workpiece to create good surface finish . Besides surface grinding, there are also different types of grinding. These include cylindrical grinding, creep-feed grinding and centreless grinding.
DetailsCreep feed grinding is widely used in manufacturing supperalloy materials. These materials are usually used in aircrafts, gas turbines, rocket engines, petrochemical equipments and other high temperature applications. The objective of this paper is to model and predict the grinding forces of the creep feed grinding of these materials using the neural network. This …
DetailsA process to generate a reflective surface. Normally, the polish is generated by using a fine-micron or sub-micron abrasive particle in combination with a liquid. Polishing is a "wet" process. Often the polishing process utilizes a pad to contain the abrasive, so polishing may not be a "loose abrasive process.". The pad is softer than ...
DetailsThe Technology. Creep Feed Grinding Is a process where the depth of cut is increased while the feed rate is decreased unlike the normal grinding practices. It is used for large amounts of material removal in just a few passes thus causing less stress and fatigue. Creep feed grinding is a highly accurate and efficient method of machining intricate forms in a wide variety of materials.
DetailsAbstract. This paper is concerned with optimization of continuous-dress creep-reed grinding processes to reduce cycle time and wheel consumption by adaptively adjusting workspeed and dress infeed based on grinding models and in-process power monitoring. Heat flux is kept below the fluid burnout limits to avoid thermal damage to the ground surface.
DetailsThe Grinding Process • Grinding is a chip removal process that uses an individual abrasive grain as the cutting tool. • The differences between grinding and a single point cutting tool is: –The abrasive grains have irregular shapes and are spaced randomly along the periphery of the wheel. –The average rake angle of the grain is ...
