Creating grooves in the surface of grinding wheels for the purposes of modifying their performance properties has been a subject of academic interest since the late 1970s. Recently, this area of investigation has increased in popularity, with around half of all papers on the subject being published in the last decade. The advantages of grooved grinding wheels over conventional wheels have been well documented across the literature: decreased specific energy of machining, decreased process forces, and decreased process temperatures. However, there remains some debate over the disadvantages of grooved wheels over conventional wheels, namely, increased wheel wear and increased surface roughness. This paper presents a literature review of state-of-the-art grinding wheel grooving processes for vitrified bond grinding wheels, along with a proposed update to the nomenclature surrounding grinding wheel grooves. The advantages and disadvantages of several grooving methods are then discussed and areas of future research are suggested.
