Grinding structured grooved surface with grinding wheel wound by diamond wire saw

To obtain structured surface with micro grooves, a new type of the grinding wheel closely wound by diamond wire saw was designed as well as a method to grind grooved structure with corresponding grinding wheel. Thus, the geometrical and mathematical models of the grinding wheel and the kinematical trajectory equation of the abrasive particles are established. The generating mechanism of grooves and the influences of the grinding parameters on the grooves morphology are analyzed. The feasibility of the structured wheel in grinding grooves are verified by simulation and experiments, as well as the grooves under different parameters. The results show that the grinding wheel could grind structured surface with grooves, and that the sizes and arrangements of grooves are changed with grinding parameters.
