Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is a promising new fluid delivery technique in grinding. However, the thermal behaviour of the process under such cooling conditions remains unclear. This work reports on the results of a recent investigation of MQL in fine-cut plane surface grinding. The experimental study considered three conditions: conventional low pressure fluid delivery, dry grinding and MQL delivery. Common steels EN8, M2 and EN31 were ground with a general purpose alumina wheel. Conventional fluid used was a general purpose 5% by volume emulsion; MQL fluid was a general purpose machining oil. Grinding temperatures were measured using the single-pole thermocouple method. Grinding temperatures obtained from experiment are compared with those predicted from theory. Results obtained demonstrate that MQL can deliver a comparable thermal performance to conventional flood delivery under the conditions investigated. Grinding kinematics are discussed to explain the outcomes and to improve understanding of MQL grinding performance.
