Abstract: | Specimens representing six different bond compositions in soft, medium, and hard grades of artificial aluminous grinding wheels were tested for various physical properties such as hardness, elasticity, expansion, mechanical endurance, impact strength, etc. It was found that the expansion of present commercial grinding wheels and abrasive bonds is much less than that of artificial corundum. The strength of the wheels increases greatly with increasing percentages of bond. The methods of making the various physical determinations are given along with their interpretation. |
