In this paper, experiments are conducted to study the characters of Ultrasonic Assisted Grinding (UAG) and Conventional Grinding (CG), diamond grinding wheel is used in experiments, grinding forces and surface roughness are measured in both UAG and CG. The effects of different parameters on grinding force, surface roughness and force ratio are discussed. The results show that the grinding force
