Study on the grinding temperature of the grinding wheel with an abrasive phyllotactic pattern

In order to reduce grinding temperature, a new kind of grinding wheel with an abrasive phyllotactic pattern based on the phyllotactic theory of biology has been presented. The model of the grinding temperature of the grinding wheel with an abrasive phyllotactic pattern was established in this paper. This model can also be suitable for other engineered grinding wheels. Another engineered grinding wheel and a common grinding wheel with random grains have also been designed and manufactured to compare with the grinding wheel with an abrasive phyllotactic pattern. The simulations and experiments of grinding temperature with three kinds of grinding wheel using the established model have been conducted. The results not only prove the validity of the model but also show that the grinding wheel with an abrasive phyllotactic pattern can effectively reduce the grinding temperature than the others. Finally, the relationship between the phyllotactic coefficient and grinding temperature was also studied.
