RESUMO

The current work presents a study of alternative methods of cooling-lubrication for the external plunge grinding of advanced ceramics using diamond wheels. These two alternative methods, which are intended to reduce cutting fluid expenses, are commonly referred to as the optimized cooling-lubrication method and minimal quantity of lubrication (MQL). The techniques were evaluated by process monitoring and by the assessment of output variables such as tangential cutting force, G ratio, roundness errors, surface roughness, microstructure and residual stresses measured by X-ray diffraction. The obtained results showed that the two proposed techniques can replace the conventional cooling-lubrication method, i.e., flood coolant. In particular, optimized cooling-lubrication method reduced wheel wear and produced workpieces with the best geometric and dimensional finishes, while MQL significantly reduced the amount of fluid employed in the process without harming the workpiece quality.
