Computational Methods for the Assessment of Nanofluids in Abrasive Processes

Abstract:

Metal cutting processes such as machining or abrasive processes are related to the production of relatively large amounts of heat, as a result of the intense contact of workpiece and cutting tool. For that reason, it is often necessary to employ a cooling fluid in order to alleviate the intense and usually undesired heat-induced effects on the workpiece. Due to the cost and environmental concerns regarding cutting fluids, the heat absorbing efficiency and quantity of cutting fluids employed is always a concern. In the present work, the effect of cutting fluid type in the temperature profile of the workpiece during grinding is investigated and useful conclusions are drawn, concerning the efficiency of nanofluids as cutting fluids.
