Thermal damage in grinding

Definition

Grinding burn subsumes all unwanted changes in the surface and subsurface region of the workpiece due to heat release out of the grinding process.

This comprises microstructural changes, high residual tensile stresses, and cracks (Karpuschewski et al. 2011). It has to be avoided by an appropriate choice of the process parameters, grinding tool, and coolant strategies. Process monitoring is necessary in order to avoid malfunctions of components due to the thermal damage.

Grinding burn is in literature (e.g., Littmann 1953; Malkin 1974) used to characterize the visible surface damage. Most damage due to the grinding process is by the nature of the manufacturing process of thermal origin and can consist, besides oxidation of the surface, also of metallurgical phase transformations, softening of the surface layer with possible rehardening, changes in residual tensile stresses, cracks, and resulting in a reduced fatigue strength (Malkin and...
