Three components are necessary for zonal polishing (Fig. 8-21): • The use of a suitable measurement technique is necessary to measure the respective surface topography. The data are compared to the target geometry so the respective fault profile can be acquired. Interferometric methods find particularly broad use for the measurement of geometries. • The measured […]

AE-Sensors
Sensors for acoustic emissions to monitor process noise emitted during grinding are vibratory systems, the resonance points of which are determined by their construction. As a result, these sensors, working proportionally to acceleration, represent filter systems that have a dampening or amplifying effect according to the frequency range. The AE sensor thus determines by its […]
Discontinuous Profile Grinding
Fig. 6-88 is a schematic representation of profile grinding of an external gear tooth spur gear. The grinding wheel exhibits the profile of the tooth space in transverse section. The grinding wheel profile is transferred to the tooth flank by the depth of cut ae in the radial direction corresponding to the decreasing stock allowance […]
Surface Peripheral Plunge Grinding
Turbine blades in jet engines are exposed to high levels of mechanical and thermal stress. The materials used must be highly heat-resistant and possess a high level of creep and rupture strength. Nickel-based forging alloys, those high-temperature properties are based on the mechanisms of mixed crystal, separation and carbide hardening, are especially suited to this. […]
Examples of Application
7.4.1 Plateau Honing The goal of plateau honing is to achieve a defined surface topography characterised by periodically appearing deep honing traces with interjacent, fine bearing surfaces called plateaus (Fig. 7-33). This surface topography is achieved in two phases. In addition, the workpiece is pre-honed with coarse-grained diamond honing stones, e. g. D 150, or […]
The Abrasive Carrier
Abrasive carriers have the task of receiving the abrasive in the form of slurrys or pastes in even distribution on their surfaces and binding them loosely. The removal and smoothing process must be supported by the abrasive carrier without the latter being involved in the process directly. This is the condition, chiefly, for a profiled […]
10.2.3.1 Environmental and Machine Noises as Sources of Disturbance
It is indispensable for the reliability of the attributes derived from the acoustic emission that the noise emissions stemming to the operation of the machine, which are not directly related to the machining process, are stationary and separable from the process noise. Fig. 10-5 shows an assortment of relevant emission sources in grinding machines. Measurement […]
. Continuous Profile Grinding
In continuous profile grinding, a globoid-shaped grinding worm serves as the grinding tool. As opposed to continuous generating gear grinding, the globoidshaped grinding worm does not have a tooth rack profile as its reference profile, but rather the contour of a tooth flank. Since we are dealing with a profile grinding process, contact between the […]
Honing
Honing is a cutting process with bonded grain and is used to improve the form, dimensional precision and surface quality of a workpiece under constant surface contact with the tool. In general, honing is applied after precision machining (e. g. grinding). Tables 7-1 and 7-2 illustrate the different honing techniques and their main fields of […]
Gear Honing of Externally Toothed Spur Gears with an Internally Toothed Tool
Gear honing is a fine machining process for gears which was originally implemented after grinding in order to create low-noise surface patterns on the tooth flanks. In the process, small allowances of approximately 15 pm were removed from the flanks. In further developments, this procedure came to be used directly after hardening, eliminating grinding from […]
