Fluid Film Boiling in Shallow Cut Grinding

https://doi.org/10.1016/S0007-8506(07)62591-8Get rights and content

Results are presented which show that the thermal partitioning coefficient in shallow-cut grinding is much lower than thought previously but only when the workpiece temperature is below about 100° C for a water based fluid. By drawing parallels with creep-feed grinding it is suggested that a fluid film boiling temperature may be a viable criterion by which to avoid thermal damage and achieve good surface integrity.

    These two mechanisms counterbalance each other and the final effect depends on the strength of each mechanism. There is a very moderate increase (Zhang et al., 2013), a decreasing trend (Howes et al., 1987) and constant behavior (Zhang et al., 2009) reported in the literature. As shown in Fig. 18, increasing the feed rate resulted in a very moderate decrease in the maximum temperature in this study and the model could predict the behavior with good accuracy (4.5 % and 12.5 % discrepancies with the measurements, respectively).

    This confusing observation was explained as follows: for a standard GW (Fig. 8a left), the lubrication gap was formed in front of the contact zone where the coolant was under high pressure. This pressure would raise the boiling point of the coolant and delay the appearance of the film-boiling which rapidly deteriorates the cooling efficiency of the coolant [33,34]; For a slotted GW (Fig. 8a right), on the other hand, the slots diminished the formation of the high pressure and made the grinding-induced airflow being sucked into the slots forming the mist; thus, only a small amount of the coolant was transported into the contact zone. Based on this, a slotted GW was produced on whose surface 70 slots were milled inside, shifted symmetrically alongside the GW centerline, and slightly rotated by an inclination angle of 15° (Fig. 8b).

    The energy partition to the workpiece depends on the wheel and workpiece materials, and the operating conditions, including the delivery of coolant. Howes et al. (1987) note that a water based fluid would boil at 100 °C, so will be effective only if the temperature is kept below this point, but for shallow-cut grinding this is unlikely, so the fluid boils and in effect the grinding conditions become dry. Thus, in this case, although the fluids act as lubricants and reduce the energy input, they provide little cooling effect and the workpiece temperature rises rapidly.
