Abstract

This study investigates the grinding process of the common grinding wheel under nanoparticle jet flow minimal quantity lubrication. This study establishes a kinematics model, elastic deformation model, and plastic accumulation model of a single grinding wheel, simulates the grain distribution on the surface of the common grinding wheel by using the grain vibration method, and examines the effect of different grinding parameters on the surface topography of the workpiece. Results show that the peaks and valleys on the profile curve of the workpiece surface increase and the corresponding R a and R z heights decrease, as the peripheral velocity of the grinding wheel increases. The peaks and valleys on the profile curve of the workpiece surface decrease, and the corresponding R a and R z heights increase as the feed speed of the workpiece increases. The number of grinding cracks on the surface of the workpiece decreases, the length of each crack increases, and the bump height on the surface increases slightly as the grinding depth increases. Experiments are conducted to verify the simulation results. The results show that the simulation method can predict the surface roughness of the workpiece, which is a factor in selecting the grinding parameters.
