Abstract

This research has been conducted to study the influence of the abrasive and coolant–lubricant types on the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) grinding performance. One type of CBN and three types of conventional wheels (corundum) have been tested. The tests have been performed in presence of fluid, air jet and eleven types of coolant–lubricants, as well as, in dry condition. The results indicate that the finest surface quality and lower grinding forces could be obtained while grinding with CBN wheel. In case of conventional wheels, the coarser and high porosity wheels induce much proper grinding results. Furthermore, grinding when utilizing MQL with oil results in higher grinding performance.
