Heat Pipe Grinding Wheel in Grinding Titanium Alloy Ti-6Al-4V

Article Preview

Abstract:

Heat pipe grinding wheel (HPGW) is a new grinding wheel which can improves heat transfer enhancement with the contact zone by means of the heat pipe technology. In this paper, the heat transfer principle and making process about heat pipe grinding wheel is illustrated. After then, grinding experiments with HPGW were carried out to verify the effect of heat transfer in the grinding titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. Results showed that using HPGW could significantly reduce grinding temperature and prevent the burnout in the grinding.
