Question
A surface grinding operation has been performed on a Cast Iron plate having dimensions 300 mm (length) x 10 mm (width) x 50 mm (height). The grinding was performed using an alumina wheel having a wheel diameter of 150 mm and wheel width of 12 mm. The grinding velocity used is 40 m/s, table speed is 5 m/min, depth of cut per pass is 50 µm and the number of grinding passes is 20. The average tangential and average normal force for each pass is found to be 40 N and 60 N respectively. The value of the specific grinding energy under the aforesaid grinding conditions is ______________ J/mm³ (round off to one decimal place).
Answer :
Correct answer is : 38.4
Length = 300 mm, width = 10 mm, height = 50 mm, D = 150 mm, V = 40 m/sec, Table speed = 5 m/min =
,
Depth of cut = 50 μm = 50 × 10-3 mm = 0.050 mm, Fc = 40 N
Power = Fc × V = 40 × 40 = 1600 W
Material removal rate (MRR) = Table speed × width × depth of cut = × 10 × 0.05 = 41.666 mm3/sec
The value of the specific grinding energy under the aforesaid grinding conditions is 38.4 J/mm3.
