abrasive grain efficiency and surface roughness in
Abstract: New cup-type diamond-grinding-wheels with hexagonal pattern have been developed. Grinding stone ratio, R is defined as the ratio between the hexagonal edge area containing abrasive grains and the total area of the wheel surface. In the present work, four kinds of hexagonal grinding wheels with different R (13 %, 19 %, 25 % and 36 %) and a conventional wheel (R: 100 %) were used to grind a light
