Abstract: Wheel self-sharpening is a unique characteristic of grinding processing. However, in grinding processing, the self-sharpen property of the grinding wheel is generally not fully utilized, resulting in the continuous rise of force and heat during the grinding service period, the variability of grinding quality, the need for multiple dressing, low grinding efficiency, and the inability to sustain grinding, which is not suitable for future needs. Accordingly, the grinding wheel structure, grinding mechanism, abras state, stress condition, micro-wear, self-sharpening mechanism, binder performance, and grinding force and heat that affect grinding were analyzed. The relationship between wheel dull wear and sharpening wear was also explored. At the same time, based on the development of modern science and technology, especially the progress and application of information communication, artificial intelligence, laser processing, and sensor technology, an innovative ideal grinding idea for the future was proposed. During the grinding process, try to keep the blunt wear and sharpening wear of the grinding wheel in mutual restraint, balance and synergy, so that it is for the grinding wheel to grind stably for a long time without truing. ideal grinding can not only improve grinding efficiency and save resources and energy but also facilitate the development of grinding processing towards the direction of efficient, green, and low-carbon production.
