Characterization of the Response of Embedded Thermocouples in Grinding

Abstract:

Temperature measurement in grinding has been a widely analyzed field in the study of the process. Temperatures in grinding are too difficult to measure due to the high gradients in the ground workpiece. A lot of different methods have been employed by many researches in the last years. In this paper the use of thermocouples is analyzed attending to the mathematical characterization of their response. It will be shown that correct modeling of the thermocouple’s response permits the avoidance of the problem of thermal inertia, making thus possible the use commercial thermocouples for temperature measurement in grinding.
