High efficiency deep grinding (HEDG)

Definition

High performance grinding (HPG) is a grinding process with an extreme high material removal rate usually with superabrasive grinding tools.

Theory and Application

High performance grinding (HPG) also called high efficiency deep grinding (HEDG) is characterized by extremely high specific material removal rates (MRR), using high wheel speed, high depth of cut, and high feed rate with superabrasive tools resulting generally in very low specific energy (6–15 J/mm3 for ferrous material) compared to other grinding processes (Table 1). HPG is known as a combination process of creep feed grinding (high depth of cut) and high speed grinding (high feed rate and high grinding speed). It can be used for both rough and finish grinding.
