A Study of Heat Developed in Cylindrical Grinding

This paper, the fourth in a series on cylindrical grinding, presents some of the results of an investigation of the grinding process with particular reference to the influence of the grain size of a grinding wheel and type of grinding compound used on certain criteria; such as volume of metal removed per unit of wheel wear, unit net horsepower, surface finish, grinding rating, temperature increase in the workpiece surface, temperature increase in the grinding compound, and possible injury to the structure of the metal.
