Abstract Grinding is the main processing technique for particle-reinforced composites, in which grinding force and temperature are significant for investigating the removal mechanism and surface properties. In this study, a grinding force prediction model is established based on the response surface methodology. The energy density of surface heat source in the grinding area is calculated by combining the contact area between the grinding wheel and workpiece. Based on the integration algorithm in time and space, a theoretical ideal grinding temperature prediction model is deduced. The grinding heat energy transfer coefficient is defined as the percentage of heat energy, which is transferred from the grinding heat energy to the workpiece. According to the experimental and ideal theoretical highest grinding temperatures, a prediction model of the heat energy transfer coefficient is established, and the modified theoretical highest grinding temperature prediction model is obtained. Furthermore, a finite element model of SiCp/Al composite in grinding is established. The highest grinding temperature in the finite element model is consistent with the modified theoretical highest grinding temperature, and the grinding temperature field is analysed. The highest grinding temperature increases as the wheel speed and grinding depth increase, while it decreases as table speed increases, which differs from that of some common materials. Thus, the grinding temperature prediction model provides an important reference for the study of removal mechanism and surface properties of SiCp/Al composite. Keywords SiCp/Al composite .

1 Introduction Due to the high elastic modulus and high thermal expansion coefficient, SiCp/Al composite has attracted significant attention in aerospace and automobile fields. Furthermore, it has been used to replace materials such as glass-ceramics and quartz glass. Grinding is the main processing technique for particle-reinforced composites wherein grinding force and temperature field significantly affect the grinding process in terms of surface finish and surface performance. Therefore, it is extremely important to examine the grinding force and temperature field of particle-reinforced composites.

Many scholars have investigated the grinding force. Mao C et al. [1] found that the grinding depth affected the grinding force of CBN-WC-10Co mostly: the pull-out and brittle fractures of CBN particle were the main reasons for the increase of surface roughness. Shanawaz A et al. [2] studied the ELID grinding of the low-volume fraction Si
