Material Removal and Grinding Wheel Wear Mechanisms during Grinding of Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride

Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride is a superhard cutting material and thus difficult to manufacture. Therefore, the investigation of the cause-effect-relationships during track-bound longitudinal face grinding and force-controlled plunge face grinding of polycrystalline boron nitride is subject of this dissertation. The results are explanatory models for the material removal and grinding wheel wear mechanisms during grinding of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride.
