A New Method for Temperature Measurement to Determine the Temperature Variation in Cylindrical Grinding Contact Arc

Abstract:

Due to the difficulty in arrangement of thermocouples, temperature measurement in grinding presents a number of challenges, particularly in high speed cylindrical-plunge grinding. Based on existing literature, only single thermocouple is considered for measuring the maximum temperature in the grinding contact arc, without considering the overall temperature variation. In this paper, a new method for temperature measurement, named four K-type thermocouples, is proposed aslant along the direction of the width of workpiece which is developed for measuring the overall contact arc in high speed cylindrical-plunge grinding. It is shown that the temperature increases to the maximum with a sharp gradient, then decreases due to the strengthening of cooling effect and the decrease of depth of cut, which is consistent with previous study. The measured temperature signal reveals the generation rule and dissipation rule of grinding heat.
