1. Grinding Wheel Linear Speed
Increasing the grinding wheel linear speed reduces the maximum depth of cut of the abrasive grains, reducing the chip cross-sectional area.
It also increases the number of cuts and grinding heat, leading to increased clogging. Grinding wheel speed should be selected appropriately during grinding.
2. Workpiece Speed
Practical experience has shown that doubling the working speed triples the amount of grinding wheel clogging.
This is because higher workpiece speed increases the abrasive grain load, resulting in a shallower abrasive grain penetration and a smaller chip cross-sectional area.
As the grinding thickness increases, abrasive grain blunting worsens, increasing the pressure of the grinding wheel on the workpiece grinding layer,
which in turn hardens the grinding wheel, exacerbating grinding wheel clogging.
3. Grinding Method
Increasing the grinding wheel-workpiece contact area exacerbates grinding wheel clogging.
This large contact area makes it difficult for coolant to enter the grinding zone, resulting in high grinding heat and temperatures, creating conditions for clogging,
which can easily lead to chemical adhesion and embedding clogging. For example, end grinding is more prone to clogging than circumferential grinding,
and transverse plunge grinding is more severe than longitudinal grinding.
4. Radial Cut
The effect of radial cut on grinding wheel clogging exhibits a hump-shaped trend. Clogging occurs when the radial cut ap is less than 0.01mm.
When the cut ap increases to ap = 0.03mm, the clogging decreases. Further increasing the cut ap to ap = 0.04mm, the clogging increases sharply.
