Quick, Sophisticated Method for Shaping Metal Parts
Creep-feed grinding allows a hardened workpiece to be machined from the solid in a single pass, replacing milling, broaching or other types of grinding. Because creep-feed grinding can handle parts in the hardened state it is a cost savings to the customer. Get in touch with us for further information!
Learn More About Creep-Feed Grinding
Creep-feed grinding also eliminates multiple costly secondary operations that are required with other machining processes. The end result is time and cost savings to the customer. With creep-feed grinding, the process can be started with the heat-treated parts and then ground to all the features to exact specifications often in one operation with a single pass.
Conventional grinding involves a grinding wheel reciprocating rapidly over the workpiece as it gradually lowers to its final depth of cut. Creep-feed grinding is a process where a formed grinding wheel is plunged into the workpiece, slowly producing a finished part or form in a single pass.
Creep-feed grinding has the ability to machine all steels, alloys, superalloys, ceramics, and fully hardened materials. Fewer manufacturing steps shorten lead times and reduce the need for work-in-process and finished goods inventory.
Aspects of Creep-Feed Grinding Include
- Large amount of stock removal from hardened material in a single pass
- Improved fatigue resistance from mild residual compressive stresses
- Grinding can be done after heat treating, eliminating distortion
- Eliminate time consuming and costly secondary processes
- Replaces milling, broaching, and other types of machining
- Close tolerances can be held in production
- Superior surface finishes
- Good repeatability
- Minimal burrs
