Other Analyses

Grit hardness is usually tested by a Knoop micro indenter test [SCHT81, MENA00]. By means of an electrostatic separator, particles with conductive sur­faces can be selected. Capillarity is a measure for the wettability of abrasive grits [UAMA09, SCHT81]. Capillarity gives an indication of grit cleanliness and is particularly important for aqueous glues for coated abrasive […]

Sustainability Dimensions to the Bonding System

3.6.1 Technological Dimension Bond composition and structure define the self-sharpening ability of the tool and process stability. The main bonding systems for grinding tools are resin, vitrified and metallic bonds (Table 3.2). Each type has a huge variety in its specifications, manufacturing, and ingredients. For polishing and lapping processes also different kinds of slurry or […]

Innovative and More Sustainable Tools

9.2.1 Future Requirements Common trends in grinding technology are tighter form and size tolerances, smaller surface roughness, engineered surface textures, higher productivity, and smaller process costs [KRAF08]. There is a natural trend towards higher grinding wheel speeds and higher grinding performance [KREB06]. New products and new applications demand for adjusted tools designs. The tool user […]
