Research on the "Coolant Through The Wheel" in the Grinding Field

Abstract

Data are presented showing the performance of the "Coolant through the wheel" in the grinding field which means a practice of supplying the coolant through the structure of grinding wheel with the aid of centrifugal force developed by the wheel rotation and having a merit of cooling the grinding surface of work directly. Experiments cover how the grinding forces are influenced by the amount of coolant, depth of cut or grade of grinding wheel in the cases of "Coolant through the wheel" practice and ordinary practice. As the conclusion, it has been clarified that "Coolant through the wheel" practice takes effect preventing the loading of wheel and is more effective when the amount of coolant is few and the depth of cut is large.
