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 […]

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 […]
