SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE TEMPERATURE MODE OF STEEL PARTS IN SURFACE-STRENGTHENING GRINDING M. L. German , M. S. Zheludkevich , and V. D. Efremov UDC 621.891:621.793 A mathematical model of heat transfer in steel parts in force grinding is considered. The model allows one to determine parameters of grinding at which the layer of steel of the given thickness is heated to the temperatures of quenching. The main laws governing the changes in the temperature of the part being ground are presented. The situation of the appearance of cleavages and melting of the edge of a wedge-like body in grinding and sharpening is analyzed. JEPTER7492019993 JEPTER749203
