Tribology and Fundamentals of Abrasive Machining Processes

by Bahman Azarhoushang, Ioan D. Marinescu, W. Brian Rowe, Boris Dimitrov, Hitoshi Ohmori

Overview

This new edition draws upon the fundamentals of abrasive machining processes and the science of tribology to understand, predict, and improve abrasive machining processes. Each of the main elements of the abrasive machining system is looked at alongside the tribological factors that control the efficiency and quality of the processes described. The new edition has been updated to include a variety of industrial applications. Grinding and conditioning of grinding tools are dealt with in particular detail, and solutions are proposed for many of the most commonly experienced industrial problems, such as poor accuracy, poor surface quality, rapid tool wear, vibrations, workpiece burn, and high process costs. The entire book has been rewritten and restructured, with ten completely new chapters. Other new features include: - Extensive explanations of the main abrasive machining processes such as grinding (including reciprocating and creep-feed grinding, high-speed high-efficiency deep grinding, external and internal cylindrical grinding, and centerless grinding), honing, superfinishing, lapping, polishing, and finishing - Discussions of the new classes of abrasives, abrasive tools, and bonding materials - New case studies and troubleshooting on the most common grinding practices - New coverage on grinding tool conditioning, mechanical dressing, and nonmechanical dressing processes - Detailed explanations of the effects of process input parameters (such as cutting parameters, workpiece material and geometry, and abrasive tools) on process characteristics, workpiece quality, tool wear, and process parameters (such as cutting forces and temperature as well as achievable material removal rate) - Updated topics regarding process fluids for abrasive machining and fluid delivery
