Superabrasives: Grinding and Machining with Cbn and Diamond

This new text teaches the uses and applications of superabrasive metal-cutting tools in the metalworking industries. Such cutting tools as those made of synthetic diamonds and cubic boron nitride have been quietly revolutionizing the grinding and machining of hard alloyed steels, metal matrix composites, and other tough and abrasive materials used in the automotive, aerospace, and allied industries. This book will enable the successful student to go through the steps of mounting, truing, and dressing a new CBN grinding wheel.
