The work aims to study the effects of engineering ceramic grinding parameters such as diamond wheel linear velocity, grinding depth and workpiece feed speed. Take grinding ZrO2 ceramic with diamond grinding wheel as an example, a finite element model was established with ABAQUS for grinding ZrO2 ceramic with single diamond grain to analyze the process of grinding ceramic with grain. Multiple grinding combined parameters experiments in regard to diamond grinding wheel linear velocity, grinding depth and workpiece feed speed were designed in the method of orthogonal experiment. Grinding temperature was measured in the method of artificial thermocouple. The experimental results were compared with simulation results for analysis. As the grinding speed increased from 30 to 50 m/s, the grinding depth increased from 5 to 15 μm and workpiece feed speed increased from 1000 to 5000 mm/min, both grinding temperature and grinding heat distribution ratio increased, and the simulation results were nearly consistent with experimental results. Grinding depth and workpiece feed speed have greater effects on grinding temperature. As the diamond wheel linear velocity, grinding depth and workpiece feed speed increase, both grinding temperature and grinding heat distribution ratio increase.
