Foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting.
This document replaces GB/T 17588-1998 "Basic terminology of grinding wheels". Compared with GB/T 17588-1998, except for the structural adjustment, Besides the editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
a) Added "high feed grinding", "finishing grinding", "centerless grinding", "follow-up grinding", "ductile region grinding", "high speed grinding", "ultra-high speed grinding", etc.
Terminology of grinding methods (see 6.6.6 to 6.6.12);
b) Added the term "grinding allowance" (see 8.6);
c) The term "grinding specific energy" is added (see 9.3).
This document is modified to adopt ISO 3002-5:1989 "Fundamental parameters of cutting and grinding — Part 5: Basic terminology for grinding with abrasive wheels".
This document has the following structural adjustments compared to ISO 3002-5:1989.
--- Introduction corresponds to Chapter 1 of ISO 3002-5:1989, and Chapter 1 has been redrafted;
---Added 6.6.6 to 6.6.12 in 6.6;
--- Added 8.6 in Chapter 8;
--- Added 9.3 in Chapter 9.
The technical differences between this document and ISO 3002-5:1989 and their reasons are as follows.
--- Replaced ISO 3002-1:1982, ISO 3002-3:1984 and ISO 3002-4 with the normative reference GB/T 12204-2010.
1984 (see 3.1), the degree of consistency between national standards and international documents is revised to adapt to my country's technical conditions;
--- Replaced ISO 841:1974 (see 3.5) with the normative reference GB/T 19660-2005 to adapt to the new requirements;
--- Added "high feed grinding", "finishing grinding", "centerless grinding", "follow-up grinding", "ductile region grinding", "high speed grinding", "ultra-high speed grinding", etc.
Terminology of grinding methods (see 6.6.6 to 6.6.12) to adapt to the development of grinding technology;
--- Added terms such as "grinding allowance" and "grinding specific energy" (see 8.6 and 9.3) to establish the concepts of related grinding parameters.
The following editorial changes have been made to this document.
--- Change the name of the standard to Basic Terminology of Grinding Wheels;
--- Changed the relevant expressions in accordance with the writing rules of my country's terminology standards;
---Added Chinese and English indexes.
Introduction
This document aims to apply the basic terms defined in GB/T 12204-2010 and ISO 3002-2 to grinding, and to Specialized grinding terminology has been added to the process.
In this document, the term grinding is limited to material removal operations using grinding wheels as tools.
The main motion is the rotation of the grinding wheel, which causes a considerable peripheral speed in the contact area between the grinding wheel and the workpiece.
Feed motion is applied to the tool or workpiece to obtain continuous removal of workpiece material.
In the form of fine chips.
The feed motion 1) consists of several sub-motions, and the machined surface is generated by the combined action of the grinding wheel profile and the motion path.
1) See 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 of GB/T 12204-2010.
