Abstract: A new grinding method that superimposes ultrasonic vibrations on the workpiece is contrived. An ultrasonic-assisted grinding unit is used for a series of experiments under different vibration and grinding conditions to examine the behaviour of grinding forces and surface roughness. Compared to conventional grinding, a decrease of the thermal damage on the workpiece and a reduction of cutting forces have been achieved. The effects of Ultrasonic-Assisted Grinding on both dry and wet grinding were also examined. It is found that superimposing ultrasonic vibrations, especially in dry grinding, is one of the most effective methods for grinding soft steels.
