Description
This book provides insights into modern grinding technology based on wide research and experience. It provides a concise treatment
of the principles involved and shows how these lead on to the latest technology developments. The reader learns how to achieve high precision,
fast removal rates, and reduced costs. Every aspect of the grinding process and machine comes under the searchlight to show step improvements.
Superb grinding machines now produce optical quality finishes due to developments in process control and machine design. It is the
same for extremely high removal rates. This book shows how best quality can be improved and costs brought down at the same time as output
is increased.
The book is aimed at practitioners, engineers, researchers, students, and teachers. The approach is direct, concise
and authoritative. Progressing through each major element of the grinding system and then on to machine developments and process control,
the reader becomes aware of all aspects of operation and design. Trends are described demonstrating key features. Covered topics include
abrasives and super-abrasives, wheel design, dressing technology, machine accuracy and productivity, grinding machine design, high-speed
grinding technology, cost optimization, ultra-precision grinding, process control developments, vibration control, coolants, and fluid
delivery.
Advances in the field are supported with references to leading research. Analysis is presented in later chapters and
appendixes with new contributions to machine design, intelligent control, centerless grinding, fluid delivery, cost analysis, and thermal
analysis for prediction and control of grinding temperatures. By selecting the right conditions, extremely high removal rates are achieved
accompanied by low temperatures.
