Matrixes from Axiomatic Model

All discussed effects produce a complex grinding process model. This axiomatic model, however, is simplified and based on existing models. The main application is fine grinding of ductile material, leaving exemptions, special process variants and Fig. 7.32 Low scrap rate (diagram follows Fig. 7.30) other applications open. Experimental data, sensitivity analyses and empirical data could […]

Sustainability Model for Abrasive Grits

Raw material extraction, manufacturing, and choice of abrasive grits for later processing and use affect different stakeholders. The grit manufacturer is mostly concerned with the following aspects: • The grit price depends on raw material availability, raw material price, local energy costs, labor costs as well as equipment costs and maintenance. • The location defines […]

Metallic Multi-layer Bonds

Metallic bonds are either multi-layered (produced by sintering or infiltration) or single-layered (produced by electroplating or brazing) [MARI07]. They are only applied to superabrasive grits because conventional grits wear too quickly to use the bonding strength to full capacity. 1.3.1 Chemistry and Types of Metallic Bonds for Multi-layer Abrasive Tools Metallic multi-layered bondings consist of […]

Tool Wear Mechanisms

Abrasive machining processes themselves can be regarded as tribological systems where workpiece material and abrasive tool interact under the influence of cooling lubricant and atmosphere [MARI04]. Abrasive tools are subjected to high tem­peratures and high pressures in the active cutting zone. Consequently, tool wear occurs. Tool wear happens because of mechanical effects (vibrations and grinding […]
