Applying Inductive Technology to Detect Grinding Burn

摘要

Caustic, secondary acid-etching processes are commonly used to determine the presence of harmful grinding burn, which involves changes in both the surface stress and micro-structure of ground ferromagnetic workpieces. Now, shops have another option. Germany-based Wenzel (with U.S. headquarters located in Wixom, Michigan) offers a safer, sensor-based technology for use with its gear measuring machines that quickly detects grinding burn and other imperfections on the surface of ground gears and related components.
