Abstract
An experimental study was performed to analyze the feasibility of heat pipe cooling in creep feed grinding applications. A new type of grinding wheel is developed to enhance the heat transfer of the grinding contact zone then decrease the grinding temperature. The performance of the new type grinding wheel was evaluated by measuring the grinding temperature when it was creep feed grinding the Ti-6Al-4V Alloy and the experimental results were compared with an ordinary grinding wheel. Results of the comparative study indicated that the use of enhanced cooling technology in a grinding wheel can decrease the grinding temperature significantly thus avoid the surface burning in grinding.
