Temperature simulation and experimental for polishing TC4 with abrasive cloth wheel by Libo WANG, Chao XIAN, Hongmin XIN

“…The influence of four process parameters on polishing temperature is as follows: polishing temperature increases with the increase of spindle speed, because higher spindle speed results in greater linear velocity of the abrasive cloth wheel, and more work is done by the frictional force between the abrasive particles, binder, and workpiece per unit time, generating more heat and resulting in higher polishing temperature; polishing temperature increases with the increase of the compression depth of the abrasive cloth wheel. …”
