Corundum

2.1.1 Chemistry, Types and Characteristics of Corundum Corundum is crystalline aluminum oxide, Al2O3, and also known as alumina. Al2O3 is also the active element in the natural abrasive material emery [LEWI76, p. 9] and in the gemstones sapphire and ruby. Aluminum oxide occurs in at least five modifications, a-Al2O3, P-Al2O3, y-Al2O3, 5-Al2O3, and e-Al2O3. The […]

Performance of Metallic Multi-layered Bonds

Metallic bonds provide high grit retention and low wear during grinding. However, a copper bonding might smear during grinding. Metallic bonds might have low porosity, so that fillers in the bond are added for lubrication during grinding. Metallic bonded tools are difficult to condition mechanically [WEGE11]. Electro physical and electro chemical processes can be applied […]

Body Shapes—Stresses and Special Design for High-Speed Applications

Grinding wheel rotation leads to centrifugal forces and stresses within the tool body. For a generic homogeneous cylinder, the tangential stresses, atx, at the diameter Dx follow (Eq. 5.1); the radial stresses, arx, follow (Eq. 5.2) [HELL05b, FRAN67]. The tangential stress has its maximum at the inner hole diameter, H = Dx; the radial stress […]

Sustainability Dimensions to the Grinding Wheel Macro Design

5.4.1 Technological Dimension For bonded superabrasive tools, bodies of steel, aluminium, resin and resin-aluminium are common. New body designs with carbon fiber reinforced resin enable even higher circumferential speeds over 200 m/s. The productivity seems to be improved and consumed spindle power decreased. Abrasive layers can be fixed with adhesives as segments. Glue type and […]
