Abstract: In the paper is shown a theoretical study regarding the manner in which the cutting fluid influences the performances of the grinding process. The quantity of heat that results during grinding process is transmitted to the technological elements which influence the thermal deformations of the workpieces and their dimensional accuracy ans surface finish. Also, are distinguished experimental data regarding the influence of cutting speed on the temperature in machining zone in the case of different cutting processes.
