Keywords: When grinding high-strength ferrous alloy with CBN wheel, attention is often paid to the
CBN grinding variation of wheel surface condition to ensure work surface quality, since wheel sharp-
AE signal ness is directly related to the ground surface. The on-line wheel condition can be obtained
Process monitoring via process monitoring, which integrates the operations of process sensing, featured data
extraction, and state assessment. When grinding with wheel state under control, work qual-
ity is ensured. On-line process state recognition usually relies on a pre-built classication
model. This paper is to classify the intercepted grinding acoustic emission data using sup-
port vector machine (SVM) based on ground roughness variation during grindable period.
An SVM model was constructed from the result of a grinding experiment and conrmed to
nd an 85% of prediction accuracy.
