Tribology of Abrasive Machining Processes

Marinescu (Precision Micro-Machining Center, University of Toledo) considers the processes of the abrasive machining system and the tribological factors which control the efficiency and quality of these processes. Principles of tribology are used to explain how kinematic factors affect the size, shape, and variability of the material being removed, and how they influence the wear of the abrasive tool, the process forces and energy, and the surface roughness and integrity of the workpiece.
