To reduce wheel loading caused by chip adhesion in the grinding of titanium alloys, a new method named ultrasonic-assisted plasma oxidation modification grinding is suggested. The processing principle was introduced in this research, and based on that, the experimental apparatus was established. Then, the surface and cross-sectional morphologies of a workpiece with an oxide layer were characterized, followed by the detection of its microhardness and surface composition. On this basis, in the absence and presence of the oxide layer, the dynamic changes in wheel loading on the grinding wheel surface and the evolution behavior of chip adhesion on the grains were both investigated after gradually increasing the grinding passes. Finally, the effects of wheel loading on the ground surface morphologies were analyzed. The results showed that the oxide layer with low microhardness was mainly composed of TiO2 and Al2O3. Moreover, with an increase in grinding passes, the overall occupied area of chip adhesion on the grinding wheel surface increased proportionally in the absence of the oxide layer, which finally caused severe wheel loading. Conversely, yet at almost the same rate, the overall occupied area of chip adhesion increased after remaining comparatively unchanged in a short range of grinding passes in the presence of the oxide layer, which effectively inhibited the wheel loading. Compared with the ground surface obtained without an oxide layer, the generation of plastic-stacking was significantly restrained with the assistance of the oxide layer, thereby improving the ground surface quality.
