Investigation of the temperature field during grinding with flap wheels

Mathematical dependences for calculating the distance between the cutting grains of the flap wheel are given. Numerical simulation of the temperature field that occurs in the process of grinding workpieces with flap wheels of workpieces made of alloy D16 has been performed. The temperature field was fixed by changing the number of successively working abrasive grains and by varying the distance between the grains. Regularities have been established for changing the power of heat sources, local temperatures and temperatures in the surface layer of the workpiece, depending on the number of consecutively working grains and the distance between abrasive grains.
