The Effect of Changes in Feed Rate on Surface Integrity during Nickel Coating Grinding

Abstract

Grinding is an important and very frequently used technology, allowing for significant gains in surface integrity. Products which have undergone surface treatment are often used in engineering. The required surface quality after grinding is one of the most important parameters. Nickel coatings as protection against corrosion are used, erosion, abrasion and as a material for the renovation of worn-out parts. This paper discusses the change of cutting conditions when samples were ground. The surface of the samples was treated with galvanically applied nickel. The data shows what level of surface roughness is achieved when choosing different cutting conditions. The results were evaluated on the basis of a comparison of the parameters of roughness. The input parameters were chosen on the basis of the practice, which was in the area carried out.
