title: [Study on grinding of base metal alloys. 4. Constant pressure grinding of a Ni-Cr alloy with vitrified wheels].
abstract: The grinding techniques and the constituent element of vitrified wheels suitable for a 13% Cr-Ni dental casting alloy were determined. The lever-type grinding test machine used in the previous study was modified so that a work might be ground under a constant pressure as it moved reciprocally within a short stroke along the tangential direction of a rotating wheel. The grinding performance of two marketed wheels and eleven experimental wheels with different constituent elements was tested. Abrasive grains on the working surface of alumina wheel wore extremely due to abrasive attrition. Carborundum wheels proved to be more suitable for grinding of the comparatively soft Ni-Cr alloy. Not only depressing a wheel against a work but also moving the wheel over it with heavier pressure should be desired for the maximal grinding efficiency. The experimental carborundum wheels exhibited much the same performance as the marketed carborundum wheel under a less grinding pressure that 100 gf. Only the wheel of grain size #150 bonded with 19% binder wore obviously under the pressure of 150 or 200 gf and provided about two times the performance of the marketed wheel.
