Key factors for quality and economic efficiency of industrial production are the choice of the manufacturing processes and their design. Manufacturing Technology is an elemental part of the fundamental knowledge of machining engineers. Also design engineers have to gain knowledge in this field, since they have high responsibility for the manufacturing costs. However, the students […]

Cubic Boron Nitride
The synthesis of cubic boron nitride (cBN) was first carried out by R. H. Wentorf in 1957 [WENT75]. cBN was first produced industrially in 1968 and, in 1969, it was introduced to the market under the brand name Borazon by the US General Electric Company. In contrast to grinding wheels with conventional abrasive materials, cBN […]
Hardness Testing
For example, the stylus test is a manual testing method which does not require any apparatus. Yet it has the disadvantage of being based on the subjective impression of the tester [PEKL60a]. A further hardness-testing method which should be mentioned is the Rockwell hardness test, which proceeds in the same way as in the hardness […]
Heat-Treated Steels
Heat-treated steels are machine-building steels, which are suited to hardening due to their chemical composition and exhibit excellent toughness at a given tensile strength after heat treatment. Heat-treated steels have carbon contents between 0.2 and 0.6 % and have therefore higher strength than case-hardened steels. The main alloying components are manganese, chrome, molybdenum, nickel (table […]
Silicon
Monocrystalline silicon enjoys a prominent role as the foundational material in the manufacture of microelectronic semiconductor components due to their favourable physical and chemical properties, comparatively cheap price and nearly limitless availability. Silicon crystallises in the diamond lattice, which can be described with two interpenetrating face-centered cubic elementary cells that are shifted in each direction […]
Free Grinding
Especially for vitrified bonded grinding wheels, the chip space can often also be enlarged by so-called free grinding. The basic prerequisite for this is the self — sharpenability of the grinding wheel. In the free grinding process, the grinding wheel topography is adjusted to the demands of the subsequent grinding process by means of a […]
External Cylindrical Peripheral Plunge Grinding
External cylindrical peripheral plunge grinding, also called external cylindrical infeed grinding, is utilised for machining bearing carriers, shaft cranks and grooves. Fig. 6-35 shows the schematic arrangement of the grinding wheel, workpiece spindle and the dressing spindle as well as the axes and the direction for the feed setting. The infeed can be subdivided into […]
Preamble for Volume 2 “Grinding, Honing, Lapping’’
The available volume treats machining with geometrically undefined cutting edges. It approaches both the practical engineer and the student of engineering sciences. This book is based on the lecture “Manufacturing Technologies I and II” and the pertinent exercises, which are held at RWTH Aachen University. The arrangement of the book results from the experiences, which […]
Synthetic Diamond
The most dominant group of diamond abrasives by far are those manufactured synthetically. Carbon in graphite form serves as the raw material. Synthesis is carried out at pressures of 70 to 120 kbar and temperatures around 2000 °C in the presence of metallic catalysts. In accordance with an appropriate choice of synthesis conditions, e. g. […]
Investigations in Grit Break-out
The determination of the amount of wear of the grits and the bond of grinding wheels is very difficult. Approaches to this are based on the ascertainment of theforce required to detach a grit from the bond. With this method, bond strength becomes quantifiable. For the execution of the grit break-out experiment, a sharpened carbide […]
