Manufacturing Energy of a Vitrified Bond

Vitrified bonded tools are manufactured through mixing of the components, molding, pressing, sintering, pre-processing, and quality control (see Sect. 3.2 “Vitrified Bonds”). This study leaves out the embodied energy in the tooling equipment and assumes that a sufficiently large number of grinding wheels are Table 8.1 Bond ingredients for a representative bond Bond ingredient [BOTS05] […]

More Synthesis Methods

Besides a direct transformation of graphite into diamond and the most common synthesis technique with molten catalyst, there are more synthesis methods [WEDL77]. These are Shock Wave Synthesis, growth from carbon molt and chemical diamond deposition from gas phase (Chemical vapor deposition, CVD). During CVD synthesis, carbon-containing gas like methane is disintegrated in presence of […]

Grinding Wheel Micro-design—Abrasive Layer and Wear

The performance of a grinding wheel, however, is not only a complicated function of all grinding wheel parameters such as grain nature and grain dimensions, nature of bond material, volumetric composition of the wheel etc., but, as said before, depends on the grinding conditions also [DECN70]. Micro-design of grinding wheels, i. e. structure and composition […]
