This paper presents a diagram of maximum contact zone temperatureTmaxversus contact timeΔt, based on the analysis of workpiece surface layer properties after cylindrical grinding experiments. Apart from resulting surface layer properties, process quantities (Tmax, normal and tangential grinding forcesFn,Ft) are investigated with reference to the resulting workpiece surface layer state as well. Ground workpieces are analyzed by performing Barkhausen noise level measurements together with subsequent metallographic and X-ray diffraction investigations. By mapping characteristic valuesTmaxand the contact timeΔtto corresponding surface layer properties, a general analysis of workpiece material response to the thermo-mechanical load during grinding is possible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
