Continuous generating grinding is a precision finishing process used at the final stage of gear manufacturing to meet stringent requirements for dimensional accuracy and surface integrity. To prevent undesirable alterations in surface integrity caused by thermal effects during grinding, it is essential to understand and control the heat flux entering the workpiece. Predictive models can aid in this by providing insights into heat flux behavior during the grinding process. However, most existing models only partially account for the characteristics of the grinding worm and other factors that...
