In this study, the heat transfer paths among the grinding fluid, the grains and the workpiece are investigated for the creep feed grinding. As heat enters the workpiece, the majority of heat is carried away by the fluid. ... This investigation aims at achieving greater jet coherency for use in the creep feed grinding process. Tests have shown ...
They considered creep feed grinding, but for the actual machining process, it was a wash. No savings. However, "milling left you with a gnarly looking surface and a big burr on the end of the part," Salmon said, "Whereas the grinding process gave you a very smooth finish and virtually no burrs, which meant the hand benching and …
In aerospace industry, turbine engine blades made of nickel-based superalloys are commonly machined by creep-feed grinding processes. In order to pre-design grinding processes and avoid grinding burn, a method for calibrating a thermal finite element model was developed. For this purpose, the heat flux distribution and heat …
The resulting partitions reach from 3.5% in creep-feed grinding [15] to 60–85% in conventional grinding [16], strongly dependent on process parameters, workpiece and grinding wheel materials. While some models include the cooling effect of the grinding fluid, others are applicable for dry conditions only.
In-process Dressing Creep Feed Grinding. The latest grinding wheel technology, including superabrasive wheels, enables an intermittent, in-process approach to dressing for creep feed applications that prevents the need for continuous dress systems and further increases the life of the grinding wheel.
However, researches on grinding characteristics of 300M steel are still rare, especially for the creep feed grinding process, which greatly limits the development of 300M steel in both academic and engineering aspects. Meanwhile, due to the high hardness and work hardening tendency, grinding of 300M steel still faces several …
The grinding process of shaping materials is probably the oldest in existence, dating from the time prehistoric humans found that they could sharpen their tools by rubbing them against gritty rocks. ... Much smaller energy partitions of only 3–7% are obtained for creep-feed grinding with slow work speeds and large depths of cut. Such low ...
Grinding kinematics is one of the main mechanisms affecting the behaviour and efficiency of the creep-feed grinding process; it is thus essential in understanding the interplay of its parameters in the material removal.

2.2 Grinding force and temperature measurement. As shown in Fig. 3a, it demonstrates the detailed cutting force and cutting temperature measurement. During creep feed grinding process, cutting force is divided into three directions, namely, the axial force F x is parallel to the direction of the wheel spindle, the horizontal force F y is …
The process involves grinding at a slow feed rate and high depth of cut, resulting in a high material removal rate. Creep feed grinding is particularly effective for grinding hard and difficult-to-machine materials such as …
Creep-feed is both a low-force and a high-force process. "Mr. Rutkiewicz characterizes the creep-feed process by pointing to this seemingly contradictory depiction: The force in …
Calculating wheel life is essential for forecasting wheel usage and the abrasive costs associated with a grinding process. In order to calculate the wheel life, it is essential to know which dressing methodology is being used. There are two types of dressing methods that can be used in a creep-feed grinding process: "1.
The surface roughness increases with the grinding depth of the cut, and surface roughness reduces with higher abrasive wheel velocity. Gu et al. had discussed the various parameters for the creep feed grinding process when DD6 nickel-based single-crystal superalloy was ground. They compared microcrystalline and brown alumina …
In the creep-feed grinding process without burn, because the grinding temperature of the SX alloy is as low as about 200 ℃, the thermal effect can be negligible. Thus, the generation of residual compressive stress for parameter group I is mainly attributed to the plastic deformation resulted from the mechanical effect by the wheel and ...
