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 […]

Life Cycle Inventory of Grinding Processes

7.2.1 Evaluating Sustainability of Unit Processes In addition to economic, environmental and social sustainability, the technological dimension needs to be considered as a fourth dimension. Yuan et al. [YUAN12] suggest three strategies to increase sustainability in manufacturing processes: (1) Optimizing of the manufacturing technology by detecting and changing the parameters that affect material and energy […]

Honing Tools

Other than in grinding, diamond has far fewer limitations when machining steel by honing. This can be explained by the low cutting speeds, cooling and lubrication conditions in honing, which tend to suppress the reaction between diamond and workpiece materials with carbon affinity [KOPP81]. 2.3.4.2 Dressing Technology Natural diamonds of high purity are commonly used […]
