“Even something that sounds like it should be easy-whisker-reinforced polymer. Then we start moving into the area of ceramics and cermet-type materials,” said Salmon. You can’t use conventional tooling on those. “Aerospace super-alloys give people fits. But now the technology may be coming into its own. It’s milling, but with an abrasive tool.Ĭreep feed grinding was developed more than 50 years ago in Germany and has made inroads in Europe and in some shops in North America. “Everybody thinks it has to do with grinding, but it’s really a high stock removal process,” he said.
They will think, “Well, here’s a process that takes forever to remove hardly any material.” And creep feed sounds like it should be even slower. People who could use it won’t even read an article with grinding in the title, Salmon said. “You’ve got creep in there, and worst of all, grinding, because everybody hates grinding.” Creep feed grinding takes a depth of cut 100 or more times that of conventional grinding. Salmon, Ph.D., president of Advanced Manufacturing Science & Technology, Rossford, Ohio, who has been called the father of creep feed grinding. So why, with all these advantages, isn’t everyone using it? The problem is its called creep feed grinding, said Stuart C. Creep feed grinding takes it to a whole new level by combining the higher stock removal operation with a finishing capability, all at once,” said Ken Kummer, CEO at Abrasive Form, Inc., Bloomingdale, Ill., a machine shop specializing in creep feed grinding. “Grinding is often thought of as a finishing operation. It cuts difficult-to-machine materials, easily holds precision tolerances, and leaves few, if any, burrs.Ĭreep feed grinding uses much deeper cuts and a decreased feed rate compared to conventional grinding. Creep feed grinding, a high stock removal technology, uses abrasives to cut any material you can think of, precisely and nearly burr-free.Ĭreep feed grinding, an underutilized and maybe unfamiliar technology, is ideal for heavy material removal.
