Abstract

This paper presents a comparative study on dry and wet grinding of chopped strand mat glass fibre reinforced polymer laminates using an alumina wheel. Investigations were performed to study the impact of the grinding parameters, namely feed, speed, and depth of cut on grinding force ratio and surface area roughness. Effective grinding parameters were sought in this study to maximize grinding force ratio and minimize surface area roughness. Test results show that coolant helped to decrease surface area roughness, but inevitably reduced the grinding force ratio in some cases. These findings lead to economic machining solution for optimum grinding conditions in grinding composite laminates.
