THE CUTTING FLUID INFLUENCE IN THE INLET ENGINE VALVES GRINDING

Abstract :
In this paper is presented an experimental research in which the grinding of inlet engine valves was improved by the adoption of the most effective cutting fluid type, matching the new requirements of cutting fluid application. Four different types of cutting fluids (cutting oil and three different types of soluble oils) were analyzed. As evaluation parameters of the performance of the cutting fluids, the roughness, the grinding wheel wear and the workpiece residual stress were measured. As a conclusion, the cutting oil is the most adequate cutting fluid to be used, due to its tendency in reducing the roughness, the wheel wear, due to its higher lubricity and ability in keeping the wheel sharp for longer periods of time. The main factor of choice was the compressive residual stress generated during all grinding cycles by this type of cutting fluid, which can increase the fatigue life and the mechanical proprieties of the ground component.
