Grinding of composite materials

Grinding plays an important role in ensuring the final machining quality in the manufacturing process of composite parts. Problems such as grinding damage, grinding wheel wear and loading undermine the grinding efficiency and quality. This review presents relevant research progress in the field of composites grinding in recent years from the aspects of material removal mechanisms, surface integrity, and advanced grinding technologies. It further discusses the common problems of composites grinding and summarizes grinding process strategies to suppress damage. It can provide an in-depth understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved in composites grinding and solutions to the composites grinding problems.
