1. Introduction
High-performance surface peel grinding (HPSPG) is
a novel grinding process. It combines the advantages of
conventional surface and creep feed grinding processes
by allowing high material removal rates in hard
machining to be achieved while preserving the flexibility
of the process and the surface quality. The recommended
workpiece velocities, cutting speeds, and depths of cut
can be applied on conventional surface grinding
machines using an electroplated CBN wheel with a
custom shape [1-3].
In this poster paper, the efficiency of HPSPG is
demonstrated based on the experimental determination
of the process forces and of the surface roughness. In
this context, the process kinematics and contact
conditions between the grinding wheel and the
workpiece of the peel grinding process are presented [4-
6].
During the experimental investigations, the values of
the process parameters were varied to identify the
variables that have an influence on the surface finish.
Furthermore, it is shown that high workpiece velocities
increase the energy efficiency in grinding and reduce the
thermal load on the workpiece surface.
