GRINDING TECHNOLOGY - THE WAY THINGS CAN WORK - THEORY AND APPLICATIONS OF MACHINING WITH ABRASIVES

Features a unified and self-contained presentation about what is known about grinding processes and how this information can be practically applied.
Presents more detail on new grain materials, creep feed conventional abrasive wheels, superabrasive (diamond and CBN) materials and wheels, and metal bonded superabrasive electroplated wheels.
Includes a more comprehensive treatment of thermal aspects of grinding; as well as a new chapter on dealing with fluid flow in grinding including flow through the grinding zone, fluid burnout, and cooling effects.
Contains an updated chapter relating to grinding machine control and optimization with a new example of model-based grinding optimization, and future prospects for integrating simulation into open architecture machine tools for optimal control.
