Abstract
Lead, especially micro lead, on ground shaft sealing surfaces has been an ongoing issue in
sealing technology for many years. Now that suitable lead measuring methods have finally
been developed, the scientific focus has shifted from the measurement of lead and its influence on the sealing function to the formation of lead. Experimental investigations have been
carried out to analyse the influence of the process parameters on the formation of micro lead
during external cylindrical plunge grinding. The results show that micro lead occurs using industrial common parameters. The influence of the grinding tool specification, the dressing and
the grinding parameters on the micro lead structures are described and discussed.
