Heat distribution when grinding of nickel alloy

Heat distribution in machining is one of the phenomenological characteristics of this process because it significantly influences functional properties of machined surfaces. This paper deals with heat distribution during grinding of Ni alloy and its relationship to the quality of ground parts in terms of residual stresses. The analysis of the heat distribution is based on measurement of the temperature in the contact of the grinding wheel and the workpiece, and the tangential component of cutting force. The heat distribution when Ni alloy grinding differs from the heat distribution when grinding a conventional Fe alloy such as roll bearing steel mainly because of the low heat conductivity of Ni alloys. Also, the application of CBN and diamond grinding wheels significantly reduce the thermal exposition of the ground parts, primarily when applying cutting fluid. This fact significantly influences the residual stresses after grinding. The results of the analysis show that there is correlation between energy partitioning and residual stresses.
