Principles of Modern Grinding Technology, Second Edition, provides insights into modern grinding technology based on the author's 40 years of research and experience in the field. It provides a concise treatment of the principles involved and shows how grinding precision and quality of results can be improved and costs reduced. Every aspect of the grinding process--techniques, machines and machine design, process control, and productivity optimization aspects--come under the searchlight. The new edition is an extensive revision and expansion of the first edition covering all the latest developments, including center-less grinding and ultra-precision grinding. Analyses of factors that influence grinding behavior are provided and applications are presented assisted by numerical examples for illustration. The new edition of this well-proven reference is an indispensible source for technicians, engineers, researchers, teachers, and students who are involved with grinding processes. - Well-proven source revised and expanded by undisputed authority in the field of grinding processes - Coverage of the latest developments, such as ultra-precision grinding machine developments and trends in high-speed grinding - Numerically worked examples give scale to essential process parameters - The book as a whole and in particular the treatment of center-less grinding is considered to be unchallenged by other books

This book presents the advances in abrasive based machining and finishing in broad sense. Specifically, the book covers the novel machining and finishing strategies implemented in various advanced machining processes for improving machining accuracy and overall quality of the product. This book presents the capability of advanced machining processes using abrasive grain. It also covers ways for enhancing the production rate as well as quality. It fulfills the gap between the production of any complicated components and successful machining with abrasive particles.

This volume aims to promote the latest advances in abrasive technology. Emphasis is placed on both the development of practical methods and the understanding of the mechanisms of machining ceramics, semiconductors, steel alloys, and other advanced materials. About 50 technical papers are included in the volume, describing the recent advances in the mechanics of abrasive machining, mechanisms of grinding, difficult-to-machine materials, grinding wheel technology, machinery and measurement, polishing, lapping, and nano-machining. Theoretically, the book discusses the material removal and deformation mechanisms; from the practical point of view, it provides useful data for direct industrial applications.

Abrasive technologies are central to modern manufacturing as applied to a wide variety of products covering many disciplines: from nanoscale components to large-scale equipment, and from biomedical devices to aerospace structures. This this title brings together the advances in, and applications of, abrasive technologies.

Abrasive machining is one of the most important processes used in manufacturing engineering to remove unwanted material and to obtain the desired geometry and surface quality. Abrasive machining processes are processes where material is removed from a work piece using a multitude of hard angular abrasive particles or grains which may or may not be bonded to form a tool. Abrasive Machining discusses the fundamentals and advances in the abrasive machining processes, and provides a complete overview of the newly developing areas in the field including but not limited to, high efficiency deep grinding and micro and nanogrinding.
