Grinding pins, also called mounted wheels or mounted points, are small wheels to which a mandrel is cemented, molded or die casted into one end [LEWI76, p. 44]. These tools are often used in hand-held operations for deburring, finishing of welds, chamfering, or dental operating procedures. A large variety of shapes exists (see DIN ISO […]

Grinding wheel bodies of steel are manufactured with high dimensional quality and can easily be re-plated or re-layered. In multi-layer tools, the old abrasive layer is removed by etching of the adhesives that connect abrasive layer and body with chemical baths. A steel body can be reused up to six times [MARI07, p. 107]. Wheel […]

The static properties of a grinding wheel can be tested by compression, tensile or bending tests, in which the deformation of tool samples in the form of cylinders or rods is measured [QUIR80, p. 6]. Industrial practice is the three-point bending test, for example after DIN EN 993-7 [MERB03, p. 25, BOTS05, p. 88]. The […]

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 […]

Many different standards and methodologies exist to evaluate the environmental impacts of products, processes and manufacturing systems. The most commonly used method is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), including its variants process LCA, Economic Input-Output LCA and hybrid LCA [REIC10]. Reich-Weiser et al. [REIC10] discussed the differences between frameworks and sorted them into different spatial and […]

Grit size and grit size distribution affects tool manufacturing and tool use (see Sect. 2.8.1 “Grit Size”). Therefore, these grit characteristics provide a good case study on sustainability [LINK12c]. Grit size can be controlled by different stan­dardized methods, such as sieving and sedimentation (Sect. 2.9.1 “Grit Size Selection”). The user might want to consider the […]

Labelling is important for the consumer to decide if a product is green. Customers are more likely to buy environmentally friendly products if they know about those attributes in the use phase which are both environmentally friendly and of high quality [ABEL05, p. 173]. 9.2 Conclusion on Abrasive Tool Sustainability Global trends on raw material […]

This thesis was written mainly during my time as postdoc researcher at the Werkzeugmaschinenlabor (WZL) at the RWTH Aachen University, and at the Laboratory for Manufacturing and Sustainability (LMAS) at the University of California Berkeley. The research on the life cycle engineering of abrasive tools was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) […]

Diamond density is about 3.52 g/cm3 depending on pureness. Diamond hardness and toughness are determined by crystal purity, regardless of size, shape, and genesis [BENE03]. The hardness of single crystal diamond is anisotropic depending on the crystal orientation (Fig. 2.16). This results from the different distances of the carbon atoms in different crystal planes. The […]

Today, grits are available in a large range of toughness suitable for many appli­cations [MARI04, p. 347]. Hard and friable abrasives are generally applied in precision grinding, whereas tough, large grits are more suitable for heavy-duty grinding [MALK08]. Grit types for resin bonds are usually more friable than for bronze bonding [BUTT68, p. 73]. Toughness […]
