Abstract The improvement of industrial grinding processes is driven by the objective to reduce process time and costs while maintaining required workpiece quality characteristics. One several limiting factors burn. Usually applied techniques for burn are conducted often only selected parts can be consuming. This study presents a new approach detection realized each ground part under near-produc...

Abrasive flow machining (AFM) is a process for the production of excellent surface qualities of inner profiles that are difficult to access and outside edges, as well as for deburring and edge rounding. The grinding medium used in AFM consists of a polymer fluid, the so-called base, in which the abrasive grains are bound. The grinding medium is pressed along the contours at a defined pressure a...

This paper investigates the grinding performance of epoxy matrix composites reinforced by unidirectional carbon fibres, using an alumina grinding wheel. Emphasis was placed on understanding the effect of fibre orientations and grinding depths on the grinding force and surface integrity, and on understanding the grinding mechanisms, with a comparison to orthogonal cutting. It was found that grea...
