External Cylindrical Form Grinding

External cylindrical form grinding is a technique variant of external cylindrical pe­ripheral longitudinal grinding. By overlaying the main axial feed movement with an additional radial feed movement, under NC operation, various rotation — symmetrical workpiece geometries can be produced. The goal of this technique is to finish grinding the workpiece in one clamping. For this […]

Introduction

The future of manufacturing companies depends largely on their ability to adapt to swiftly changing global conditions. These are exemplified by international compe­tition, rapidly growing intercommunication and the increased significance of envi­ronmental issues [KLOC98a, ENGE02]. Precision machining with geometrically undefined cutting edges represents a key production engineering technology with high efficiency, security and machining quality. […]

Bonds

According to DIN 69 111, for all abrasive tools excepting loose abrasives, indi­vidual grits are bonded with each other and with the backing material. In practice, all components of the grinding wheel, with the exception of the abrasive grit, are comprised under the designation of “bond” [COLL88]. Bonds have the task of adhering to the […]

Roller Bearing Steels

Due to strain, steels destined for roller bearings have a high level of hardness (52 — 65 HRC), a high degree of purity, an even structural configuration and high resis­tance to wear. Chemical composition, melting and heat treatment are decisive for the obtainable structure and thus for the necessary properties of roller bearing steels. In […]

The Tribological System of Grinding

In the grinding process, all the components involved — the grain material (includ­ing the bond) as the body, the workpiece material as the counter-body, cooling lu­bricant as the intermediate substance and air as the environmental medium — form a tribological system (Fig. 5-1). Thus, in order to optimise the cooling/lubrication system, all components involved as […]

Centreless Grinding

Among cylindrical grinding techniques, centreless methods have an exceptional position with respect to their process structure and area of application. Centreless grinding’s main area of use is in large batch and mass production. While the workpiece is led during grinding between centres in its rotation axis, its position in centreless grinding is determined by a […]
