Abstract

During the grinding process, elevated temperatures can cause various forms of thermal damage to workpiece and wheel. Avoiding thermal damage is a major objective in the grinding process, and it is therefore important to understand the fundamental heat transfer mechanisms in the grinding process. A model previously developed is improved to analyze the heat transfer mechanisms in the grinding process. In the previous model, all the heat fluxes were assumed to be uniformly distributed along the grinding zone. This led to a contradiction in the temperature matching condition. This reveals that the heat fluxes into each of the various materials are not uniform along the grinding zone. An improved model, accounting for the variation of the heat fluxes along the grinding zone, is presented. The workpiece background temperature distribution along the grinding zone, and comparisons with previous results are presented.
