Abstract

The intense heat generated in grinding process, if not controlled, will lead to major quality defects. Conventional liquid coolants, employed in flood form, have many limitations from technical, environmental and economic angles. Minimization or possible elimination of cutting fluids by substituting their functions by some other means is emerging as a thrust area of research in grinding. The authors have reported the feasibility of application of solid lubricants in grinding. This paper deals with the detailed investigations on solid lubricant integrated grinding wheels, by providing peripheral graphite sandwiching. Improvement in process results has been observed with this concept.
