Predicting the surface roughness of workpiece in external plunge centerless grinding process

Abstract

This paper introduces a study on predicting the surface roughness in
external plunge centerless grinding. In this study, based on the theory of
external plunge grinding, we investigated the relationship between the
surface roughness and the grinding process parameters, including the
grinding wheel parameters, the workpiece parameters etc. The results
show that the value of surface roughness in external plunge centerless
grinding are in agreement with the experimental data. Therefore, they
can be used for the prediction of the surface roughness in practice.
