Breaking the Air Barrier: How Open-Structure Grinding Wheels Prevent Coolant Starvation
At wheel surface velocities exceeding 30 m/s, and frequently reaching up to 80 to 120 m/s in modern high-productivity cylindrical and profile grinding, the rotational motion of the abrasive body acts as a powerful centrifugal pump. The highly textured surface of the grinding wheel drags the adjacent air along with it. This boundary layer of […]
