Klappentext

This book presents a scientific study covering all issues related to the development and assessment of the functional properties of superhard grinding wheels with a metal bond. Abrasive grinding, especially with superhard grinding wheels, is still the basic method for efficient and accurate shaping of workpieces, especially from materials with high hardness and durability. Meeting the high requirements placed on grinding processes, with regard to obtaining high dimensional-shape accuracy and the desired quality of the surface layer as well as repeatability of grinding results, requires the use of rational methods for shaping the cutting surface of grinding wheels (CSGW) in dressing processes. Individual chapters of the monograph include

Characteristics of superhard grinding wheels including properties of superhard abrasive materials, metal binders, construction, and marking of technical characteristics of grinding wheels and areas of their application,

Parameters and methods for assessing the performance properties of superhard grinding wheels, including direct and indirect assessment parameters and economic aspects of assessing the dressing of superhard grinding wheels,

Characteristics of dressing methods for superhard grinding wheels, including conventional methods and erosive dressing methods. The erosive dressing methods include dressing with a high-pressure stream of liquids, liquids and abrasives, laser dressing and electrochemical, electroerosive and hybrid methods.

Results of own research on electrochemical and electroerosion dressing processes, including mathematical modeling of these dressing processes and experimental research.

The book meets the needs of both scientific and technical staff, providing knowledge about modern methods of shaping CSGW of superhard grinding wheels. It will be an important reference in the libraries of technical universities as a research aid for students, technical staff, and research and teaching staff.
