Abstract

Titanium alloys are more and more widely used in aeronautics and astronautics industry. Owing to their low thermal conductivity, excessive grinding temperature not only leads to thermal damage that greatly deteriorates the surface quality, but also accelerates tool wear. Research on grinding temperature during grinding these "difficult-to-grind" materials has been one emphasis. In the present work, grinding temperature was measured using a pair of thermocouple composed of the workpiece material and a single enameled constantan wire which was implanted in the workpiece. A kind of feasible technique of calibration for quasi-artificial thermocouple was detailed. A new kind of SG wheel was used in the grinding of titanium alloy and some conclusions related to grinding temperature were drawn.
