Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
A novel composite grinding material based upon long solid or hollow diamond micro-fibres will be made. This composite will be used to demonstrate the potential for a unique dressable grinding wheel capable of producing nanometer ground surface finishes on a range of engineering materials. The hollow fibres may include sensors to measure grinding temperatures and workpiece surface proximity and may also be used to feed coolant to the contact zone.
