Abrasive Machining of Minor Components for Cannon Manufacturing.

摘要

Many developments have contributed to the increased productivity of grinding in the past few years. The one that has attracted the most attention is 'abrasive machining'. The term 'abrasive machining' has been expressed in many ways. It is generally used to denote stock removal operations that are more economically performed by abrasive grinding methods than the more conventional means of turning or milling. The two biggest fields for abrasive machining are the production of flat surfaces and form grinding from the solid. In this program we are concerned with the latter; grinding various complex external shapes from the solid forging, bar stock or hollow cylindrical items. Abrasive machining has been used in recent years to denote those grinding operations in which metal removal rate, surface finish or accuracy, is the main consideration. It includes all the operations where cost is a major factor in determining whether to grind or to machine with carbide or high speed steel cutters.
