Grinding Technology: Theory and Application of Machining with Abrasives

Front Cover
Industrial Press Inc., 2008 - Technology & Engineering - 372 pages
Presenting a comprehensive and consistent treatment of grinding theory and its practical utilization, this new edition focuses on grinding as a machining process using bonded abrasive grinding wheels as the cutting medium. Logically organized, this self-contained resource starts with a description of abrasives and bonded abrasive cutting tools; then moves on to thermal analyses of the grinding process for conventional, creep feed, and superabrasive grinding; and ends with methods for enhancing and optimizing of grinding operations, simulation of grinding processes, and computer control of grinding machines. The perfect reference for practicing engineers involved in the grinding process, it will also be useful for researchers working in the field.
Features
  • Features a unified and self-contained presentation about what is known about grinding processes and how this information can be practically applied.
  • Presents more detail on new grain materials, creep feed conventional abrasive wheels, superabrasive (diamond and CBN) materials and wheels, and metal bonded superabrasive electroplated wheels.
  • Includes a more comprehensive treatment of thermal aspects of grinding; as well as a new chapter on dealing with fluid flow in grinding-including flow through the grinding zone, fluid burnout, and cooling effects.
  • Contains an updated chapter relating to grinding machine control and optimization with a new example of model-based grinding optimization, and future prospects for integrating simulation into open architecture machine tools for optimal control.

About the author (2008)

Stephen Malkin joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin in 1968, as an assistant professor and was later promoted to associate professor. In 1974 he was an associate professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the State University of New York, Buffalo. In 1976 Malkin joined, as tenured associate professor, the faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology.In 1986 Malkin joined the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst as a full professor. In 2000 Malkin was appointed as the first Head of the Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, which merged the scholarly activity of two separate departments: Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering. He was the department Head during 2000-2006. Malkin was a Distinguished University Professor from 1998 until he retired in 2008 as a Distinguished Professor Emeritus.During his career, Malkin was a visiting professor at the Technion, the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University, University of California, Berkeley and at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. He was a consultant to more than 35 industrial companies in the USA, Europe, Israel, China, Korea, Japan, India and Brazil.Malkin was the editor for North America of the Journal of Manufacturing Science and Production during 2003 - 2005, and an associate editor of Trans. ASME, Journal of Engineering for Industry. During his career, Malkin supervised 50 graduate students.
