Changing working direction, very low cutting speeds and feeds are the main characteristics of hard gear finishing by shave-grinding that has been introduced in recent years for gear flank corrections and surface finish improvement after heat treatment. The process is mainly used in the automotive industry because of the low noise behavior of shave-ground gears. Despite the increasing volume of industrial application, there is still a lack of knowledge about basic material removal and tool wear mechanisms in the shave-grinding process impeding it to develop its full technological potential. In this paper, the influence of main parameters of the dressing process on the tool topography and work result was investigated in an analogous process.
