With the characteristic of the high bonding strength to matrix, good sharpness and large chip-storage spaces, the brazed super abrasive grinding wheels have superiorities in the machining of difficult-to-machine materials. However, thermal deformation is caused by the high temperature during the brazing process, leading the accuracy of the brazed grinding wheel degraded greatly. By means of local heating, high frequency induction brazing can reduce the thermal deformation of the wheel. Aiming at the thermal deformation mechanism of the induction brazed wheel, a numerical simulation model of thermal-stress-phase multi-field coupling was established considering the temperature dependent physical properties of the material. The simulation result indicated that the phase transformation occurred near the work surface of the wheel substrate. The depth of phase transformation layer decreased from 6.0 mm to 2.9 mm with the scanning speed increasing from 0.5 mm/s to 2.0 mm/s. Microstructure of the phase transformation layer mainly consisted of ferrite, pearliten and bainite after brazing. An appropriate scanning speed was more important for the high accuracy of the wheel substrate during the induction brazing, since it had remarkable influence on the stress and deformation than brazing temperature. The experimental results of the microstructure morphology and deformation proved that the numerical simulation model was correct with 10.4% error.
