Effect of Cyclic Heating on the Hardened Layer Properties Generated by Plunge Cylindrical Grinding

Abstract:

This paper investigates the effect of the grinding-induced cyclic heating on the hardened layer properties generated in plunge cylindrical grinding. It was found that by increasing the number of grinding cycles, the hardened layer becomes thicker. The cyclic grinding stressing together with the heating initiates a plastic deformation zone of a highly oriented microstructure. The surface residual stresses of the layer are compressive. Under a lower infeed rate, the tempering of the hardened layer material will occur more severely.
