| description | The flow field around the grinding wheel prevents grinding fluid from entering the grinding area, which deteriorates machining conditions and reduces the quality of the workpiece. MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) grinding uses compressed gas to improve the ability of the grinding fluid to pass through the flow field of the grinding wheel so that a small amount of the grinding fluid can meet the cooling and lubrication requirements and reduce the cost of using grinding fluid. In this study, we investigated the flow field of grinding wheels under MQL conditions and obtain the rules that influence factors such as grinding fluid flow rate, grinding wheel linear speed and compressed gas pressure affect the flow rate of grinding fluid. The simulation method was used to simulate the flow field of the grinding wheel and the trajectory of the grinding fluid droplets. The simulation results show that these factors are important ones affecting the effective flow rate of grinding fluid. Meanwhile, the experimental results verify that these factors have the same influence pattern on the effective flow rate and grinding temperature. |
