Abstract
The purpose of the article is the experimental estimation of the global and local heat fluxes and the corresponding energy partition to the workpiece for regular grinding of 100Cr6 steel with aluminium oxide wheel. By using a grindable thermocouple, the temperature and the real contact length allow determination of the global heat flux and the partition ratio at the wheel scale. The high frequency analysis of the signal has shown maximum flash temperatures of about 1000°C corresponding to the local temperature under the chip-grain unit with very high heating speed of about 100°C/µs. The comparison between theoretical temperature decay and experimental cooling has demonstrated that the time response of the sensor is fast enough for the estimation of the local temperature and power due to the sliding of grain and to the plastic strain of ground materials.
