Abstract:

Grinding is an important machining process in manufacturing. It is generally the last operation performed to obtain high surface quality and dimensional accuracy. Different from other cutting methods, in grinding, the material is removed from the work surface in the phase of small chips by the process of many tiny abrasive particles of the grinding wheel. Therefore, it is difficult to study and optimize the grinding process. Compared with other cutting methods, such as milling and turning, grinding requires much higher energy to remove material. All energy is converted to heat, which is concentrated at the grinding wheel's interactions and workpiece contact zone. As a result, it is necessary to use cutting fluid to improve the grinding process's performance. This study investigates the cooling parameter optimization in cylindrical grinding 9CrSi harden steel using the Taguchi experimental evaluation method and Analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Keywords:
