Grinding Ratios (G Ratios) for aerospace alloys are presented in tabular form. Classes of alloys for which G values are given include alloy steels; ultra-high strength steels; tool steels; stainless steels, including precipitation hardening stainless steels; titanium alloys; nickel, cobalt, and iron base high temperature alloys, both wrought and cast; refractory alloys and important structural nonmetallic materials. All data are derived from controlled grinding tests. (Author).
This report contains evaluated machining information for beryllium which has been extracted from many sources. Machining data are tabulated and presented in chart form for the following processes: turning, milling, drilling, band sawing, grinding, boring, trepanning, reaming, routing, tapping, electrical discharge machining, electrochemical machining, and chemical machining. Also included is a general comment section dealing with the problems associated with beryllium machining, such as twinning, microcracking, toxicity, chipout and spalling, and cutting fluids.

Grinding offers capabilities that range from high-rate material removal to high-precision superfinishing, and has become one of the most widely used industrial machining and surface finishing operations. Reflecting modern developments in the science and practice of modern grinding processes, the Handbook of Machining with Grinding Wheels presents a
This book draws upon the science of tribology to understand, predict and improve abrasive machining processes. Pulling together information on how abrasives work, the authors, who are renowned experts in abrasive technology, demonstrate how tribology can be applied as a tool to improve abrasive machining processes. Each of the main elements of the abrasive machining system are looked at, and the tribological factors that control the efficiency and quality of the processes are described. Since grinding is by far the most commonly employed abrasive machining process, it is dealt with in particular detail. Solutions are posed to many of the most commonly experienced industrial problems, such as poor accuracy, poor surface quality, rapid wheel wear, vibrations, work-piece burn and high process costs. This practical approach makes this book an essential tool for practicing engineers. - Uses the science of tribology to improve understanding and of abrasive machining processes in order to increase performance, productivity and surface quality of final products - A comprehensive reference on how abrasives work, covering kinematics, heat transfer, thermal stresses, molecular dynamics, fluids and the tribology of lubricants - Authoritative and ground-breaking in its first edition, the 2nd edition includes 30% new and updated material, including new topics such as CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) and precision machining for micro-and nano-scale applications
