Modeling of Surface Zone Influences in Generating Gear Grinding

The complex contact and chip forming conditions complicate the characterization and analysis of cause and effect connections in generating gear grinding. Especially influences of the grinding process on the surface zone in generating gear grinding are un- known. Due to this existing gap of knowledge the formation and development of thermal damages in generating gear grinding is the objective of this report. In the report an empirical and analytical process model for generating gear grinding will be introduced. The chip geometries and contact conditions for this model can be calculated by a manufacturing simulation. Furthermore, methods will be introduced to determine the model parameter and the process related influences on the external zone.
