Turbine Root Grinding Prepress

Creep Feed Fir-Tree Root Grinding & Superalloy Slot Profile Calculator

Calculate maximum undeformed chip thickness ($h_{\text{max}}$), specific grinding energy ($u_g$), spindle power demand, coherent coolant nozzle matching velocity ($v_{\text{jet}} \approx v_s$), and fir-tree multi-serration lobe contact stresses.
