Effects of high power ultrasonic vibration on temperature distribution of workpiece in dry creep feed up grinding.

Temperature history and distribution of steel workpiece (X20Cr13) was measured by a high tech infrared camera under ultrasonic assisted dry creep feed up grinding. For this purpose, a special experimental setup was designed and fabricated to vibrate only workpiece along two directions by a high power ultrasonic transducer. In this study, ultrasonic effects with respect to grinding parameters including depth of cut (a), feed speed (v), and cutting speed (v) has been investigated.
