Surface grinding is a precision machining process that involves the use of a rotating abrasive wheel to remove material from the surface of a workpiece. This process is commonly used to achieve a smooth and flat surface finish on a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics.
During surface grinding, the workpiece is securely held in place on a magnetic chuck or other type of fixture, while the abrasive wheel rotates at high speeds and makes contact with the surface of the workpiece. The grinding wheel removes small amounts of material with each pass, gradually reducing the surface roughness and achieving the desired finish.
Surface grinding is often used to improve the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of a workpiece, as well as to remove any surface defects or imperfections. It is a versatile and precise machining process that can be used for a wide range of applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.
