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 […]

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. […]

Nitrided Steels

The carbon content of nitrided steels lies between 0.2 and 0.45 %. They are heat — treatable and are alloyed with Cr and Mo (for improved hardenability) as well as with aluminium or vanadium (nitride formers). Typical nitrided steels and their re­spective compositions are shown in table 4-4. Nitriding is carried out at tempera­tures between […]

Cooling Lubricants

5.1 Principles of Cooling Lubricants in the Grinding Process 5.1.1 General Functions The shearing, cutting and rubbing processes involved in grinding generate large heat flow, which can only be removed to a small extent with the chips and thus can lead to considerable thermal stress on the workpiece and the tool [GROF77, LOWI80]. In grinding, […]

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 […]
