Select the grinding parameters that reduce the specific energy • EXPLANATION: To reduce specific energy in grinding: Increase grain size; Increase the removal rate; Increase the depth of cut, cutting speed and feed rate; Perform a frequent dressing of the grinding wheel; Aluminium oxide and silicon carbide wheels are better than CBN and diamond for a given removal rate; Use neat oil as coolant instead of soluble oil. Higher porosity in grinding wheels implies a lower coolant flow need, despite that specific energy may actually increase or decrease. • CLASSIFICATION: • Topic: ENERGY CONSUMPTION • Machine Structure: - • Life Cycle phase: USAGE • Type of machine tools: GRIND • Material selection: - • KEYWORDS: specific energy • SOURCES: • LINKS: • FIGURES/GRAPHS: 043
