The kinematic characteristics, grinding force, surface quality of workpiece surface, and wear of abrasive particles were studied by theoretical analysis and experimental study on the single cubic boron nitride abrasive particles under ultrasonic-assisted high-speed grinding. Under the condition of the same grinding parameters, the motion characteristics and the grinding forces of the two machining modes of general grinding and ultrasonic-assisted grinding are compared and analyzed. Research shows that the ultrasonic vibration is applied in the common external circular grinding on grinding particle movement characteristics changed obviously, grinding particle trajectory of variable length, cutting groove width wider, thereby improving the grinding efficiency and the grinding removal rate; ultrasonic assisted under high speed grinding, the grinding force is higher than that of common grinding force is small, efficiency of grinding under ultrasonic processing mode is much higher than ordinary grinding, the surface quality of the workpiece has improved markedly.
