Study on Effect of Grinding Fluid Supply Parameters on Surface Integrity in Quick-point Grinding for Green Manufacturing

In high and super-high speed grinding process, there is an airflow layer with high speed around the circle edge of the grinding wheel that hinders the grinding fluid into contact layer, namely, the air barrier effect. The speed of airflow layer is directly proportional to the square of the wheel speed. Quick-point grinding is a new type of high and super-high speed grinding process with a point contact zone and less grinding power. The edge effect of the air barrier is weakened because the thin CBN wheel is applied in the process. By the analysis of dynamic pressure and velocity distributions in the airflow layer around the wheel edge, the mathematic models of the flow and jet pressure of grinding fluid for effective supply in the process were established and the process of optimization calculation of the jet nozzle diameter for green manufacturing was also analyzed based on the thermodynamics and the technical character of quick-point grinding process. The quick-point grinding experiment for surface integrity influenced by grinding fluid supply parameters was performed.
