Exploration on Grinding Temperature Field Based on Water Vapor Cooling

Abstract:

To explore the influence of the water vapor cooling conditions on grinding temperature field of titanium alloy TC4 material, ANSYS simulation and test methods are adopted in this paper. Simulation and experimental studies show that: water vapor as coolant can reduce the surface temperature of the workpiece quickly by changing the wheel speed, workpiece speed and cutting depth; Water vapor cooling can control the grinding zone temperature below 400 °C on certain conditions, and compared with dry grinding it can reduce more than 50%; The grinding zone temperature can significantly be reduced by optimizing the grinding process parameters and improving the quality of the machined surface.
