Modern Dressing and Grinding Technologies, Volume 1

Modern Dressing and Grinding Technologies, Volume 1: Principles, Tools, and Process Fluids provides a thorough and practical exploration of the principles, processes, and tools fundamental to modern dressing and grinding operations. It highlights advanced grinding and dressing tool design, the use of process fluids and nozzles, and how these elements impact process efficiency. This volume also addresses tool wear mechanisms, thermal effects and their quantification, the grindability of diverse materials, and the resulting surface and subsurface quality of workpieces. Integrating foundational theories with practical applications and case studies, this handbook serves as a valuable resource for advancing both academic and industrial understanding. Key areas of focus include the parameters and correlations governing dressing and grinding processes, the properties and applications of abrasive materials, and the design and manufacturing of conventional and superabrasive tools. - Examines advanced dressing and grinding techniques, including material removal mechanisms, tool wear dynamics, cutting forces, grindability, and the surface and subsurface quality of workpieces - Details the design, fabrication, and industrial applications of both conventional and superabrasive tools, with a focus on their wear mechanisms and performance in various processes - Explores the types and compositions of cooling lubricants, nozzle designs, and their influence on process efficiency, as well as techniques for maintaining and cleaning tools with process fluids - Features practical applications and case studies, providing clear selection criteria for dressing and grinding tools, along with practical solutions to address common operational challenges.
