Who published the video?
Society of Manufacturing Engineers
How is grinding defined in the video?
A material removal and surface generating process used to shape and finish metal components or non metals
How many phases are there in grinding and what are they?
2
Roughing phase - to remove most of the material
Finishing phase - to resolve any distortion and improve surface finish
For the first grinding process how many hoses for lubricant?
3
What are the two processes shown in the first video section?
Cylindircal Grinding & Lapping
In the ABRASIVE AND GRINDING WHEEL section what is stated for grinding to be successful?
Harder than workpiece, Shock Resistant, Heat Resistant, and Capable of Fracturing/Friable
What natural abrasives have been replaced?
Quartz &Emerey
What abrasive is used in 3/4 of abrasives?
Aluminum Oxide
What is th next common abrasive apart from aluminum oxide?
Silicon Carbide
What is Silicon Carbide used for?
Softer Metals, Non-Ferrous Metals, and High Density Materials like ceramics and cemented carbide
What are the super abrasives used in 5% of grinding applications?
Cubic Boron Nitride & Diamond which are the hardest of all materials
What is CBN used to grind?
Hard Ferrous Materials
What is diamond used to grind?
Non-Ferrous materials and Non-metals
What are the types of bindiers that hold abrasive grain?
Vitrified Bonds (Glass), Organic Bonds (Rubber), Metal and Single Layer Bond (Super abrasives)
What happens if a wheel’s bond is too hard?
Wheel will wear slowly, fail to release dull cutting edges, cut inefficiently and cause overheating
