Abstract

The grinding experiment of mica glass-ceramics was conducted on the GM-D300-type surface grinder. The article investigated the influence of surface roughness on grinding wheel velocity, table feed speed, and grinding depth. The results indicated that surface roughness decreased with the increasing grinding wheel velocity and grinding depth in overall trend, and decreased with increasing table feed speed. Moreover, a modified surface roughness model, which introduced the maximum undeformed chip thickness, was developed based on Snoeys’ empirical formula. The modified model was in good agreement with the experimental data in most cases. The disparity between experimental data and predicted results of surface roughness was attributed to the organization of pores randomly distributed within the mica glass-ceramics.
