Papers by Keyword: High Efficiency Cooling

Abstract: Grinding, characterized by its high specific energy consumption, may generate high grinding zone temperature. These can cause thermal damage to the ground surface and poor surface integrity, especially in the grinding of difficult-to-machine materials. Conventional cooling methods based on large amounts of water-oil emulsions can be both ineffective and environmentally unacceptable. Here a new high efficiency cooling technology—cryogenic pneumatic mist jet impinging cooling technology is offered. It utilizes the high penetrative power of fast cryogenic air jet combined with a little quantity of 0°C water to greatly improve heat transfer effects in the machining zone. The experimental results indicated that CPMJI could offer better machining effects compared to cold air jet and traditional flood cooling method in the grinding of titanium alloy.

Abstract: Grinding is inherently characterized by high specific energy requirements, a high grinding zone temperature. Many methods have been employed in grinding high grinding zone temperature. But all have their shortfalls, both in cooling environmental pollution. Here a new high efficiency cooling technology—cryogenic mist jet impinging (CPMJI) cooling technology is offered. In this technology, coolant is carried by high-pressure cryogenic air (–20°C) and reaches the machining form of mist jet to enhance heat transfer in machining zone. This paper mainly cooling effects of CPMJI in surface grinding, compared with grinding with compressed flood cooling. CPMJI seems to have better effects than other cooling methods.
