Dressing process model for vitrified bonded grinding wheels

A holistic dressing process model for vitrified bonded grinding wheels was designed. It regards the dressing process as a tribological system subjected to a complex load collective. The intensive analysis of the input variables and their impact on the system function led to new knowledge about the acting mechanisms. The model enables a qualitative prognosis of the grinding wheel topography, the dressing forces and the thermal dressing process load.
