The characteristics of abrasive tools (the type of grinding wheel, granulation of the super hard grain, type of structure, hardness, and the type of binder) contain information on the type of supporting body materials used (e.g., dural, ceramic, steel). In this work, diamond wheels were obtained on ceramic supporting bodies, containing a sintered mixture of white alumina 99A granulation F320, green silicon carbide 99A granulation F320, and binder Ba23 bis, together with modifiers. The mechanical properties (hardness, bending strength) of ceramic supporting bodies were tested. The structure of the phase boundary of the ceramic supporting body–abrasive grinding tool was analyzed on a BEC (backscattered electron composition) image by using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). It was found that the hardness of the supporting body was slightly lower (70–75 HRB) than the diamond wheels (76–81 HRB). The bending strength of the supporting bodies was high (85 ±2 MPa). The BEC image from the scanning microscope did not show a sharp transition between the ceramic supporting body and the grinding wheel. Preliminary operational tests showed significant improvement in grinding wheel efficiency in comparison to diamond tools with the same ceramic binder on a duralumin supporting body during machining of G30 sintered carbide bush.

The most well known application of the scanning microscope to the crystals is known as Coates pattern. The contrast of this image depends on the variation of the incident angle of the beam to the crystal surface. The defect in the crystal surface causes to make contrast in normal scanning image with constant incident angle. The intensity variation of the backscattered electrons in the scanning microscopy was calculated for the defect in the crystals by Clarke and Howie. Clarke also observed the defect using a scanning microscope.This paper reports the observation of lattice defects appears in thin crystals through backscattered, secondary and transmitted electron image. As a backscattered electron detector, a p-n junction detector of 0.9 π solid angle has been prepared for JSM-50A. The gain of the detector itself is 1.2 x 104 at 50 kV and the gain of additional AC amplifier using band width 100 Hz ∼ 10 kHz is 106.

he basic ideas about the process of introducing cores into protective barriers and the most common core patterns and their location in conventional and sub-caliber small arms bullets are discussed. The materials used for manufacture of cores are analyzed. It is concluded that for mass bullets of increased armor penetration the most rational choice can be considered the use of high-carbon low-alloy steels of a new generation with a natural composite structure and hardness of up to 70 HRC. For specialized armor-piercing bullets, cores made from promising economically-alloyed high-speed steels characterized by a high complex of «hardness—bending strength» are better alternative than ones made of hard alloys or tungsten alloys.

One of the critical physical and mechanical properties of metals and alloys is the suitability for abrasive machining. Machining by abrasive tools is the final operation that sets the desired macro-geometry parameters of processed blanks and microgeometry parameters of processed surfaces such as roughness and length of a bearing surface. Abrasive machining determines the most important physical and mechanical parameters of a blank surface layer, i.e. stresses, phase composition, structure. Machinability by abrasive tools depends on the machining performance affected both by the blank material properties and various processing factors. In our previous studies, we proved that during abrasive machining the metal microvolume affected by abrasive grains accumulates energy. This energy is used for metal dispersion and is converted into heat. According to the theoretical studies described herein, one may note the absence of a reliable and scientifically valid method as well as measuring instruments to determine the machinability of metals and alloys by abrasive tools. For this reason, we suggested a method simulating the effect the multiple abrasive grains produce in a grinding wheel, and enabling us to identify machinability of metals and alloys, select the most efficient abrasive materials for machining of the same, and form the basis for development of effective grinding operations.

The main problem with ceramics used in cutting tools is related to the unpredictable failures caused by the brittle fracturing of ceramic inserts, which is critical for the intermittent milling of cyclic loading. A 125-mm-diameter eight-toothed end mill, with a mechanical fastening of ceramic inserts, was used as a cutting tool for milling hardened steel (102Cr6). For the experiments, square inserts of the Al2O3 + SiC ceramic were used and compared with the samples made of Al2O3 + TiC to confirm the obtained results. The samples were coated with diamond-like coating (DLC), TiZrN, and TiCrAlN coatings, and their bending strength and adhesion were investigated. Investigations into the friction coefficient of the samples and operational tests were also carried out. The effect of smoothing the microroughness and surface defects in comparison with uncoated inserts, which are characteristic of the abrasive processing of ceramics, was investigated and analyzed. The process developed by the authors of the coating process allows for the cleaning and activation of the surface of ceramic inserts using high-energy gas atoms. The impact of these particles on the cutting edge of the insert ensures its sharpening and reduces the radius of curvature of its cutting edges.

Ultraviolet-cured resin bond, abrasive tools have been studied and have proven to have substantial advantages over conventional abrasive tools, not only in low energy cost and high efficiency when manufacturing the tool itself, but also in better performance when machining some materials [1,2]. However, very little research has been done to study the mechanism of UV cured abrasive tools. Nevertheless, many researchers have investigated the performances of such tools compared with some conventional tools. A mechanism of UV cured, resin bond, diamond wheel was proposed as the hybrid of grinding and lapping, which is called as grind/lap (G/L) process [3]. In the paper, the proposed mechanism was verified by comparing the experimental results of three processes. Three wheels were used to simulate grinding, lapping and grind/lapping operation separately under the same experimental setting. The results showed that the RA obtained by G/L wheel decreased to a value between those gained by grinding and lapping operations after 10 minutes and it became the lowest of the three as time increases. The RA and MRR of three processes indicated that at the beginning of operation, the abrasives in G/L wheel are fixed by the cured resin, and as machining time increases, the small grains get released from the wheel and act as loose abrasives. Therefore, the mechanism of the UV cured resin bond diamond wheel is verified as the dominant grinding at the beginning and lapping at the end, which was also illustrated by the surface profile of machined part.

The development of modern jet engines would not be possible without dynamically developed nickel–chromium-based superalloys, such as INCONEL® The effective abrasive machining of above materials brings with it many problems and challenges, such as intensive clogging of the grinding wheel active surface (GWAS). This extremely unfavorable effect causes a reduction in the cutting ability of the abrasive tool as well as increase to grinding forces and friction in the whole process. The authors of this work demonstrate that introduction of a synthetic organosilicon polymer-based impregnating substance to the GWAS can significantly improve the effects of carrying out the abrasive process of hard-to-cut materials. Experimental studies were carried out on a set of a silicon-treated small-sized sol–gel alumina 1-35×10×10-SG/F46G10VTO grinding wheels. The set contained abrasive tools after the internal cylindrical grinding process of INCONEL® alloy 600 rings and reference abrasive tools. The condition of the GWAS after the impregnation process was studied, including imaging and measurements of its microgeometry using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), microanalysis of its elemental distribution using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), and the influence of impregnation process on the grinding temperature using infrared thermography (IRT). The obtained results confirmed the correctness of introduction of the impregnating substance into the grinding wheel structure, and it was possible to obtain an abrasive tool with a recommended characteristic. The main favorable features of treated grinding wheel concerning the reduction of adhesion between the GWAS and grinding process products (limitation of the clogging phenomenon) as well as reduction of friction in the grinding process, which has a positive effect on the thermal conditions in the grinding zone.

The prediction of the grinding process result, such as the workpiece surface quality or the state of the edge zone depending on the used grinding wheel is still a great challenge for today's manufacturers and users of grinding tools. This is mainly caused by an inadequate predictability of force and temperature affecting the process. The force and the temperature strongly depend on the topography of the grinding wheel, which comes into contact with the workpiece during the grinding process. The topography of a grinding wheel mainly depends on the structure of the grinding wheel, which is determined by the recipe-dependent volumetric composition of the tool. So, the structure of a grinding tool determines its application behavior strongly. As result, the knowledge-based prediction of the grinding wheel topography and its influence on the machining behavior will only be possible if the recipe-dependent grinding wheel structure is known. This paper presents an innovative approach for modeling the grinding wheel structure and the resultant grinding wheel topography. The overall objective of the underlying research work was to create a mathematical-generic grinding tool model in which the spatial arrangement of the components, grains, bond, and pores, is simulated in a realistic manner starting from the recipe-dependent volumetric composition of a grinding wheel. This model enables the user to determine the resulting grinding wheel structure and the grinding wheel topography of vitrified and synthetic resin-bonded cubic boron nitride (CBN) grinding wheels depending on their specification and thus to predict their application behavior. The originality of the present research results is a generic approach for the modeling of grinding tools, which takes into account the entire grinding wheel structure to build up the topography. Therefore, original mathematical methods are used. The components of grinding wheels are analyzed, and distribution functions of the component's positions in the tools are determined. Thus, the statistical character of the grinding wheel structure is taken into account in the developed model. In future, the presented model opens new perspectives in order to optimize and to increase the productivity of grinding processes.

There is the grade as one of the selection criteria of a grinding wheel like WA whetstone or GC whetstone. The grade of grinding wheel is defined as an index which shows the strength of connection of a grain and a grain, and is usually estimated by bending strength. There are many papers about the relationship between the grade of a grinding wheel and the grinding performance. And, the relationship between the grade of a grinding wheel and the grinding performance is almost clear. Also, the relationship between mechanical properties of a grinding wheel and the grade is also clear. On the other hand, since the grain layer of a super abrasive grinding wheel is thin, it is difficult to apply the conventional evaluation test of the grade. And, the evaluation method of the grade which can be adapted the super abrasive grinding wheel is not established. In addition, since the grade of a super abrasive grinding wheel is a manufacture manufacturer's original standard, there is a minute difference by manufacturer. The super abrasive grinding wheel as well as the grinding wheel is conjectured that the grade influences the grinding performance. Namely, it is important to relate the grade and the mechanical properties of a grain layer. However, researches which relate the grade, the grinding performance and the mechanical properties of a super abrasive grinding wheel are not done so far. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between the mechanical properties of a grain layer of a super abrasive grinding wheel and the grade, the grinding performance. The final objective of this study is to evaluate the grinding performance from mechanical properties of a grain layer of a super abrasive grinding wheel. The purpose of this report is to clarify relationship between the grade and the grinding force in a resinoid bond diamond wheel. The specific experiment procedure is as follows. When carrying out surface grinding of the diamond sticks using a grinding wheel, the relationship of the grade and the grinding force was clarified. And based on the knowledge acquired in this experiment, relationship between the grade of a super abrasive grinding wheel and the grinding force was considered. As the results, it confirmed that the grade of a resinoid bond diamond wheel could be evaluated by the grinding force.
