IMPROVING SURFACE QUALITY IN FLAT GRINDING OPERATIONS USING MODERN TECHNOLOGICAL METHODS

The article analyzes general aspects of the flat grinding process, analyzes the main features, provides a technological solution to the issues of surface and surface layer formation, dimensional and shape accuracy. The main input parameters affecting quality are machine parameters, processing methods, grinding wheel and abrasive grain characteristics, cutting mode elements, etc. The degree of influence of factors, as well as strength and hardness indicators obtained from the physical and mechanical properties of the part material, in general, is analyzed and the pattern of quality formation is determined. Similarities and differences in operations performed on the side and periphery of the grinding wheel during flat grinding, as well as functional dependencies of productivity and quality indicators are determined. It is determined that to select optimal processing modes for flat grinding operations, it is considered necessary to control process parameters, use machines controlled by a modern digital program, and modernize other process equipment in terms of increasing quality. In the article, the general aspects of the flat grinding process are analyzed, the main features are analyzed, the technological solution of the issues of surface and surface layer quality formation, size and shape accuracy is given.
