Workpiece removal parameter refers to the rate of removal of material from workpiece with thrust force induced between workpiece and wheel. It quantifies the efficiency of material removal during grinding operations.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the workpiece removal parameter based on the wheel removal parameter, workpiece diameter, machine infeed speed, feed speed, and grinding wheel diameter.
Details: Accurate calculation of workpiece removal parameter is crucial for optimizing grinding processes, determining material removal rates, and ensuring efficient machining operations with proper surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
Tips: Enter all values in appropriate units. Wheel removal parameter and diameters should be positive values. Infeed speed and feed speed must be greater than zero. Ensure consistent units for accurate results.
Q1: What is the significance of workpiece removal parameter in grinding?
A: Workpiece removal parameter helps in understanding the material removal efficiency and optimizing grinding parameters for better surface quality and productivity.
Q2: How does wheel removal parameter affect workpiece removal?
A: Higher wheel removal parameter typically results in higher workpiece removal parameter, indicating more efficient material removal from the workpiece.
Q3: What happens if infeed speed equals feed speed?
A: If Vi = Vf, the denominator becomes zero, making the calculation undefined. This represents a special case where the formula doesn't apply.
Q4: Can this formula be used for different grinding operations?
A: The formula is specifically designed for grinding operations where the relationship between wheel and workpiece removal parameters follows this mathematical model.
Q5: What units should be used for input values?
A: All length measurements should be in meters (m), speeds in meters per second (m/s), and parameters are dimensionless ratios.
