Abstract: This paper describes a new technique for an empirical modelling of unit grinding force in surface grinding by combining dimensional analysis with Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The grinding experiment on K1045 steel (190 BHN) was carried out using conventional alumina wheels. The predictive grinding force model was developed in terms of spindle speed, work speed, depth of cut, width of cut and the strength of the work material. The adequacy of the model was judged by a variance analysis. Based on the response model, contours in the planes of investigated parameters were generated to predict the grinding conditions for a particular grinding force. The new technique can significantly reduce the number of experiments required for the force modelling and thereby is cost-effective.
