CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

1.1

Background of Project

As one of the many tools available to manufacturing, grinding is a distinctive
technology that uses abrasives or synthetic minerals in loose or bonded form.
Grinding is one of most important technologies used by manufacturing today. Used
to machine and finishing the materials, grinding is in many cases the only method
available to engineers, particularly when ceramic or new composite materials are
involved. In other cases, grinding competes with other technologies and offers the
most economical way to produce precision component. As compared with other
machining processes, grinding is a costly operation that should be utilized under
optimal conditions.
Grinding is a finishing process used to improve surface finish, abrade hard materials,
and tighten the tolerance on flat and cylindrical surfaces by removing a small amount
of material. In grinding, an abrasive material rubs against the metal part and removes
tiny pieces of material. The abrasive material is typically on the surface of a wheel or
belt and abrades material in a way similar to sanding. On a microscopic scale, the
chip formation in grinding is the same as that found in other machining processes.
The abrasive action of grinding generates excessive heat so that flooding of the
cutting area with fluid is necessary. So, the coolant is one of the important things
during running the machine. In this case, the concentration of coolant use is 6 brix in
each machining. The performance of coolant is unknown. Both the viscosity of
coolant can give effect on to material and how many times the coolant can be use.

1

In Faculty of Manufacturing Laboratory in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka
there were new types of machine called Cylindrical grinding machine. Hence, this
report is mainly purpose to cover the study of performance coolant by using
cylindrical grinding. This study also to determine the machine capability in term of
producing high accuracy and precision, the highly product finishing that can
influence by straightness to the product.

1.2

Problem Statement

Coolant is an important factor during grinding surface process. However, the people
are not concern about the coolant condition during the process. But, the
concentration of coolant is the one of the factor gave effect on surface machining.
For this research, the contribution and effect will be test upon the material stainless
steel SUS304. This study will develop the appropriate parameter for cylindrical
grinding machining that can be used for practice and as a guide line for industry and
future research of student.

1.3

Objectives

(a) To study the contribution and effect of coolant to product surface while using
Cylindrical Grinding machine in FKP Laboratory
(b) To analyze the straightness factor of the finish stainless steel SUS304 product
using Mahr Formtester MMQ44 at the university Metrology Lab.
(c) To compare on straightness and quality on to three sets concentration of
coolant.(3,6,9 Brix)

2

1.4

Scope Project
The scope of this project is to test the effectiveness of three type

concentration of coolant with appropriate to the machining operation by using the
cylindrical grinding machine in order to study the machine performance in term of
straightness factor. The Universal Cylindrical Grinder Model OD820H will be used
in this study. The material used for machining is stainless steel SUS304. The
parameters that involve in this analysis are work head speed, depth of cut, and
traverse speed. Parameters such as coolant which is Pretech Cool Syn 3000 Green
with the 3 type brix of concentration and abrasive wheel speed are remains constant.
The straightness test for the specimen will be performed or conduct by using the
Mahr Formtester MMQ44 at the Metrology Lab and method applied is used to
determine the straightness.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1

Introduction to Cylindrical Grinding Machines

A grinding machine is a machine tool used for producing very fine finishes or
making very light cuts, using an abrasive wheel as the cutting device. This wheel can
be made up of various sizes and types of stones, diamonds or of inorganic materials
(Anon. 2008, July 24). There are many types of grinding machine depend on the
surface of material that have to finishing. A machine grinding cylindrical surfaces is
called a cylindrical grinder. Machines designed for special functions, such as tool
grinding or cutting off, are designated according to their operation (Boothroyd, G.
and Knight, W. A. 2006).
Cylindrical grinding machines are used extensively in engineering workshops and
industries for finish pre-machined and heat-treated components. Grinders can rough
out and finish the work to fine tolerances. The smooth surface and great accuracy can
be obtained more economically on grinders than other machines.
In Manufacturing Laboratory, the machine that is use for this study is conventional
Universal Cylindrical Grinder Model OD 820H, with variable speed table and
manual wheel head in feed manufactured by SHARP Precision Machine Tools. The
machine has the capability to machine both of internal and external cylindrical
grinding.
In the cylindrical grinding machine, the work piece is supported and rotated between
centres. The head stock provides the low-speed rotational drive to the work piece and
is mounted, together with the tail stock on a work table that reciprocated horizontally
using the hydraulic drive. The grinding-wheel spindle is horizontal and parallel to the

4

axis of work piece rotation, and horizontal, hydraulic feed can be applied to the
wheel head in a direction normal to the axis of work piece rotation; this motion
known as in feed.
A cylindrical surface being generated using the traverse motion; an operation that
can be linked to cylindrical to cylindrical turning where the single point cutting tool
is replace by a grinding wheel. (Boothroyd, G. and Knight, W. A. 2006)
The cylindrical grinder traverses the work, to and fro, in repeated passes along the
length of the diameter, and the time to traverse is found using (Ostwarld, P.F. and
Munoz, J. 1997):
Time /pass =

Ls x Ts x D
(WP) 2fiπv

Where;
Ls

= Length of ground dimension on workpiece, in.

Ts

= Total rough or finish stock depth removed from diameter, in.

D

= Original workpiece diameter, in.

W

= Wheel width, in.

P

= Traverse for each work revolution in fraction of wheel width

fi

= Infeed of wheel per pass, in./pass

v

= Workpiece peripheral velocity, in. /min

2.1.1

Cylindrical grinding process characteristics

a) Produces straight, tapered, and formed cylindrical workpieces
b) Produces highly accurate surfaces and smooth finishes
c) Is primarily a final machining process

2.2

Universal Cylindrical Grinding Machine

The universal grinding machine is very similar in construction to a plain grinding
machine, except for the work head and the wheel head, both of which swivel. The
work head swivels on a graduated base to 10° either side of zero. The wheel head
platen not only swivels through 180° either side of zero, but is also mounted on a
slide that swivels independently through 80° to 90° either side of zero. Thus, the
slide can be set to the grinding angle required, and the platen swivelled through 90°
presenting the wheel/face parallel to the face to be ground. A semi-universal machine
in common use is very similar, except that the wheel platen and slide do not swivel
independently of each other.

Figure 2.1: Universal Cylindrical Grinding Machine Model OD 820H.

2.2.1 Internal Grinding Machine

(a) The essential elements of an internal grinding machine are:
i.

A work supporting chuck or faceplate.

ii.

A rotating grinding wheel.

From Figure 2.2 it shows that the grinding wheel is used to grind the internal surface
of a hole in a workpiece supported by the chuck or the face plate. The universal
grinder can be adapted for internal grinding by fitting an attachment. On modern
machines, this attachment is a standard fitting driven by its own motor and can be
quickly moved into position on the front of the wheelhead. Internal grinding is used
to grind cylindrical, tapered or formed holes in workpieces.
