In the grinding process, the temperature reached by the workpiece is a decisive factor, since most of the energy required is converted into heat, and the consequences of thermal damage include phase changes and residual stresses. Hence the importance of knowing the heat distribution along the cutting process, in order to be able to accurately predict local thermal damage and thus be able to establish boundary conditions to avoid it. In this process, the appropriate use of coolants and lubricants plays a key role in achieving favourable cooling...Leer más

Defectology and surface finishing, are two of the most important aspects in the area of grinding. Some types of surface defects that generate rejection in machined parts are "lead error" and "waviness" resulting in a loss of precision in the manufactured parts, which is critical for companies in sectors such as the automotive and aeronautical industries. The former refers to shape and dimensional errors due to the uneven bending that the part suffers along the process, while the latter, surface waviness, is a consequence of vibrations caused...Leer más
