Machining
Abstract
This article discusses the various elements of thread grinding processes, including thread grinding machines, tolerances, wheel selection, grinding speed, and grinding fluids. It describes truing of grinding wheels and reviews the process applications. In addition, the article describes the five basic methods employed for cylindrical thread grinding, namely, single-rib wheel traverse grinding, multirib wheel traverse grinding, multirib wheel plunge grinding, multirib wheel skip-rib, or alternate-rib, grinding, and multirib wheel three-rib grinding. It also provides an overview of centerless grinding of threads and high-volume applications of thread grinding.
