P - Abrasives to Tumblers Flashcards
Material removing technique that uses particles of very hard ceramic material called GRIT instead of metal blades. Wears down the surface of metal through high friction.
ABRASIVE CUTTING
ABRASIVE CUTTING is also known as
GRINDING
Typical ceramics used for abrasive cutting of metals
ZIRCONIA
ALUMINUM OXIDE
SILICONE CARBIDE
CERAMICA
More expensive alternatives to ceramics used for abrasive cutting of metals
CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride)
DIAMOND
Reasons to use ABRASIVE CUTTING over blades
Cutting hardened materials
Achieving tight tolerances
Creating superior surface finish
Various shapes of abrasive grit
GRINDING WHEELS (flat circular disks)
GRINDING CUPS (bowls)
MOUNTED (on a metal shaft)
GRINDING STONES (rectangular forms)
Grit particles fracture as they interact with the workpiece, resulting in the grinding wheel to get smaller in diameter.
ATTRITIOUS WEAR
ATTRITIOUS WEAR leads the grinding wheels to effectively ____ _________
SELF SHARPENING
TRUE OR FALSE:
Grinding MUST be performed on dedicated machine tools, and NEVER on LATHE or MILL
TRUE
Describe “JOB ONE” when designing the layout of a machine shop
Place grinding machines as far away form other machine tools as possible
Wheels that use a form of “Glass” as the bonding agent, FELDSPAR and CLAY, which are mixed with moisture and grit, then molded and pressed into a wheel shape.
VITRIFIED
Wheels that use “Thermosetting Resin” as the bonding agent. Used in ANGLE GRINDERS.
RESINOID
Bonding agent used in THIN CUT-OFF wheels
RUBBER
Classifies grinding wheels under the ANSI standard B74. 13-1977. A different code is used for CBN(Cubic Boron Nitride) and Diamond.
WHEEL CLASSIFICATION CODE
Interactions between a workpiece and a grit particle that do not result in chip production. Polishes a surface and improves its finish.
CUTTING
PLOUGHING
RUBBING
Downside of interactions between a workpiece and a grit particle that do not result in chip production. Polishes a surface and improves its finish.
