Grain-aspect Ratio evaluator uses Grain Aspect Ratio = Maximum Width of Chip/Maximum Undeformed Chip Thickness to evaluate the Grain Aspect Ratio, The Grain-aspect Ratio calculates the shape of the chip a grinding wheel makes. Higher ratio means wider chips and rougher finish, while lower ratio means smoother finish. By considering the desired surface finish, material removal rate, and grinding force requirements, engineers can choose a wheel with the right grain size and shape (which influences the aspect ratio) to achieve optimal grinding performance. Grain Aspect Ratio is denoted by rg symbol.
