Main characteristics of abrasive diamond layer in dressing tools

It is demonstrated that a dressing roller or stick as a single-layer abrasive diamond tool can be characterized, like a multilayer one, by two independent parameters—grit size (it suffices to indicate the upper sieve size only) and conditional concentration. The other characteristics (surface density of a powder batch, specific number of diamond grits) are unambiguously determined from these two parameters by means of theoretically substantiated and experimentally verified relationships. The limiting values of the diamond powder quantity on the surface of single-and multilayer tools have been established which differ from the data reported elsewhere.
