Mathematical model for determining the expenditure of cooling and lubricating fluid reaching directly the grinding zone
Journal Title: Archives of Materials Science and Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 94
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to discuss the method of determining the mathematical model used for calculating the amount of emulsion reaching directly the grinding zone during the hob sharpening process. Design/methodology/approach: The mathematical model, in the form of a multiple regression function, was determined based on the acceptance and rejection method. The data for the calculations was obtained by conducting numerical simulations of fluid flow in the Ansys CFX software. Findings: A mathematical model enables calculating the amount of efficient expenditure of emulsion reaching directly the zone of contact between the grinding wheel and workpiece (hob cutter rake face) at various nozzle angle settings and different nominal expenditures of emulsion. The verification of the mathematical relationship confirmed its accuracy. Research limitations/implications: Further research should focus on the other types of grinding process and other types of cooling and lubricating fluids. Practical implications: The mathematical model enables a selection and application in the workshop and industrial practice of various variants of emulsion supply during the grinding of hob cutter rake face. Analysis of the multiple regression equation created on the basis of the acceptance and rejection method also allows predicting changes in the analyzed numerical model. Originality/value: The literature review has shown that no research of this type has been conducted with regard to analyses and optimisation of the grinding process during hob cutter sharpening. The results of this research are a novelty on a worldwide scale.<br/><br/>
