* Investigation of the air boundary layer around a rotating grinding wheel Advanced Manufacturing Technology Research Laboratory General Engineering Research Institute Liverpool John Moores University 07 November 2008 Content of presentation Introduction and review Experimental arrangement and method Experimental results and discussion Further results from CFD simulation Conclusions Introduction and review Problems in grinding process: High specific energy, which is converted to heat in the grinding zone High temperature causes thermal damage to the workpiece - burning, phase transformations - softening surface layer with possible re-hardening - unfavourable residual tensile stresses - cracks, and reduced fatigue strength - accelerate wheel wear Contribute to inaccuracies and distortions in the final product Introduction and review Problems in grinding process: Grinding fluid is applied in order to limit the high temperatures and thermal damage and wheel wear. Role of grinding fluid: lubrication, bulk cooling and transport of debris. Introduction and review Problems in fluid delivery in grinding : Grinding fluid must be delivered to the grinding zone in sufficient volume. (for effective lubricating and cooling) Air boundary layer develops around the periphery of the wheel surface in grinding, which may prevent the fluid reaching the wheel surface. Two main methods of grinding fluid delivery: low pressure nozzle (flood) high pressure nozzle (jet) Fluid delivery at high pressure (jet) leads to increased friction and wastage of power. Fluid delivery via a low-pressure system may be insufficient to penetrate this air boundary layer, especially in high-speed grinding. Introduction and review Interest on air boundary layer investigation: The air boundary layer flow has sufficient energy to prevent the fluid reaching the wheel surface and t
