Finishing with Free and Bound Abrasive

Resumo

Abrasive finishing of a single crystal by means of free and bound abrasive is compared in conditions with forced and free workpiece rotation. Experimental data show that the influence of forced and free workpiece rotation is different for finishing by means of free and bound abrasive. In machining by bound abrasive with forced rotation, the cutting rate and productivity are 25% higher, on average, than with free rotation.
