Abstract

In this study, the thermal model of the creep feed deep profile (CFDP) grinding process of a small-module gear was established regarding the spatial interaction between the workpiece and grinding wheel, as well as the thermal boundary and the energy partition. A 3D dynamic finite element simulation of small-module gear CFDP grinding was carried out by utilizing the element birth and death technique. The validation experiments aided the specially designed thermocouples in that the grinding temperature on both sides of the tooth groove could be measured simultaneously, which demonstrated a satisfactory agreement with the experimental findings. The average difference was approximately 10%, which proved the feasibility and accuracy of the simulation. The effects of three possible geometric structures for both sides of the tooth groove being processed on the grinding temperature distribution were discussed based on the validated finite element model. This study is expected to enhance comprehension of the temperature distribution in the CFDP grinding of a small-module gear and offer recommendations for optimizing the process parameters in the precision machining of a small-module gear.
