Spatial Distribution of Cooling Mist for Precision Grinding

摘要

In order to enhance the cooling performance, better understanding of the effects of coolant parameters is necessary. In this project, a total of five input parameters for actively cooled and activated cutting fluid were studied. An aerosol spectrometer was used to measure the particle size spatial distribution of the cooling mist in the fluid. Taguchi method was used in the design of experiments. It was found that the unit volume net specific particle counts exhibit the behavior of oscillation and attenuation of a second order dynamic system. Cooling mist particle spatial frequency ranges from 0.01269/μm to 2.5/μm, the weighted average size ranges from 0.3051μm to 3.714μm and the particle size difference for 99.8% count attenuation ranges from 0.5μm to 19.7μm. The order of importance of the input parameters was studied and the coolant concentration was found as the most important input parameter for the unit volume net particle counts.
