Tribology of Abrasive Machining Processes

by Ioan D. Marinescu, W. Brian Rowe, Boris Dimitrov, Ichiro Inaski

Overview

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. With an emphasis on grinding, chapters cover areas such as kinematic models of abrasive contacts, contact mechanics, fluid delivery, and tribochemistry of abrasive machining. Accessible to technicians, graduate students, and undergraduates. Annotation © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
