Follow-up: Evaluation of grinding CMCs with focus on the grinding wheel specification

Which grinding wheel specification is most suitable for grinding CMCs?

Challenge and Motivation

  • Grinding CMC materials requires wear resistant grinding wheel specifications due to the high forces and good dressability due to the geometric requirements.
  • A simultaneous fulfillment of both maximum wear resistance and dressability is not possible with current grinding wheel specifications.

Objective

  • Investigation of different grinding wheel specifications regarding their economic potential when grinding CMCs.
