Grind temperature

Refractoriness (Melting Temperature). Instantaneous grinding temperatures may exceed 3500°C at the interface between an abrasive and the workpiece being ground (14). Hence melting temperature is an important property. Additionady, for alumina, sdicon carbide, B C, and many other materials, hardness decreases rapidly with increasing temperature (7). Fortunately, ferrous metals also soften with increasing temperatures and do so even more rapidly than abrasives (15).

For studying the grinding temperature. Lawn has conducted a penetration test by applying a constant force against a diamond indenter with the half-nominal angle of 68°. The temperature rise AT, including the heat due to plastic flow and the heat due to sliding friction between the abrasive and workpiece, is expressed as... 

The above conditions for ductile grinding of ceramics can be summarized as the grinding force less than several 10 mN (per 100 mm ) and the grinding temperature less than 400°C, which is equivalent to 1/100 of the force and l/(4-5) of the temperature observable in a conventional grinding process.

There are a number of important parameters used to control the throughput and quality of the powders produced in typical mills, including the number of teeth on the grinding plates, the gap size between the plates, and the grinding temperature.
