Modeling and Experimental Investigation of Pressure Field in the Grinding Zone with Nanoparticle Jet of MQL

الملخص EN

Solid nanoparticles were added in minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) fluid medium to make nanofluids, that is, after the mixing and atomization of nanoparticle, lubricants and high pressure gas, to inject solid nanoparticle in the grinding zone with the form of jet flow.

The mathematical model of two-phase flow pressure field of grinding zone with nanoparticle jet flow of MQL was established, and the simulation study was conducted.

The results show that pressures in the grinding zone increased with the acceleration of grinding wheel, sharply decreased with the increased minimum clearance, and increased with the acceleration of jet flow.

At three spraying angles of nozzles, when the nozzle angle was 15°, the pressure of grinding zone along the speed of grinding wheel was larger than the rest two angles.

On the experimental platform built by KP-36 precision grinder and nanoparticle jet flow feed way, CY3018 pressure sensor was used to test the regularities of pressure field variations.

The impact of the speed of grinding wheel, the gap between workpiece and grinding wheel, jet flow velocity, and spraying angles of nozzles on the pressure field of grinding zone was explored.

The experimental result was generally consistent with the theoretical simulation, which verified the accuracy of the theoretical analysis.
