Minimum-Quantity Lubrication Systems with Additional Air Cleaning of the Grinding Wheel Surface

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Two grinding technologies with air cleaning of the wheel surface are compared: the baseline system ensures minimum lubricant supply; the other includes additional air cooling of the wheel. The influence of the lubricant supply and air flow rate on the grinding of a heat-stable nickel alloy is considered.
