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 […]
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 […]
Abrasive Belts (Coated Abrasives)
For belt grinding, abrasive grits on a flexible backing material are used as tools. Chip formation takes place as the abrasive belt is engaged with a target material over a contact element, generally a roller or support element. Besides fine grinding and deburring for glass, ceramics, wood and metal, it is also possible to reach […]
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 […]
Grinding with Continuous Dressing (CD)
Working with materials that are hard to machine generally causes problems with respect to the lifetimes of the grinding wheels used and thus with respect to the performance of the grinding process. Large amounts of grinding wheel stress lead to increased grain breakaway, especially in the case of conventional grinding wheels. Grinding wheel wear, which […]
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 […]
Principles of Cutting Edge Engagement
Knowledge of the basic principles of a machining method is an essential prerequisite for the full realisation of its potential. Yet research into the essential features of material removal with geometrically undefined cutting edges is beset with great difficulties. The determination of the cutting edges used in the procedure is hampered by the extremely complex […]
