Methods with Rotating Tools

Rotating dressing tools execute an additional rotational movement (Fig. 6-4). If the dressing tool has the negative profile of the grinding wheel, only a radial feed motion is necessary. Dressing rollers that do not engage across the entire wheel width require however a lateral feed. Common rotating diamond tools for dressing grinding wheels are: • […]

Methodological Variants according to DIN 8589

6.3.1 Introduction Machining processes of workpieces with grinding wheels is fundamentally distin­guished according to DIN 8589, or ISO/ DP 3002/ V. Subdivision is carried out with serial numbers (ON), which are currently in seven figures and describe each method according to its systematics. Proceeding from the upper division ’’separa­tion” in manufacturing processes, we have the […]

Properties2

A high degree of hardness and toughness and high amounts of stability and ther­mal conductivity are the primary requirements placed on an abrasive grit. These properties are influenced by chemical composition, crystal structure as well as by the grit size. In table 3-2, the main components of various types of corundum and their most important […]

The Structure of Various Steel Materials

Steel materials are categorised according to their alloying elements, their struc­tural components and their mechanical properties. Such a classification of steel materials is helpful in the selection process with respect to functional properties and in the determination of machining conditions. Classification according to alloy content leads to the following categories: • unalloyed steels, • low-alloyed […]

Machining High-Performance Ceramics

With respect to their material characterisation, ceramics are subdivided into oxide, non-oxide and silicate ceramics. In the case of oxide ceramics, aluminium oxide and zirconium oxide or zirconia (ZrO2) represent the industrially most importantmaterials. Oxide ceramics have mostly ionic bonds (> 60 %), exhibit favourable sintering properties and are disadvantageous compared to other ceramics with […]

External Cylindrical Grinding

External cylindrical grinding is primarily used for machining rotation-symmetrical workpiece contours and is subdivided by the type of workpiece positioning and main feed directions (Fig. 6-34). Fig. 6-34. External cylindrical peripheral grinding In the case of external cylindrical grinding between centres, the workpiece is clamped in frontal centring components and impelled by means of a […]

Silicon Carbide

Silicon carbide is a technical product that is melted from quartz sand in a resis­tance arc furnace. In this method, silicon carbides of varying purity, toughness and colour can be produced by altering the process, as is the case for corundum. Pro­ceeding from the colour, we differentiate between green silicon carbide and black (dark) silicon […]

Tool Testing

In order to appraise and examine grinding wheels, numerous requirements are placed on the testing method used. The most important are that the testing method is damage-free, is independent of the attendant and provides reproducible results. These requirements are oriented by the conditions of the call for proposals of the Vereins Deutscher Werkzeugmaschinenfabriken e. V. […]
