Dressing tools

There are several types of dressing tools other than diamond dressers. Jet cleaning [30] is one of the dressing methods in which high-pressure water and/ or gas will be adopted in order to remove slurries or other residual contaminants. 

C, and in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, B4C is the hardest compound known up to now. B4C is thus used for wear-resistant parts and inserts for mortars and ball mills, wear plates, sand blasting nozzles, dressing tools for grinding wheels, lightweight armor plates for helicopters, tanks, and in composites of glass fiber-reinforced plastics as bullet-proof protection for personnel. 

Mechanical dressing can be done by fixed or rotating dressing tools. As shown in Fig. 2, mechanical dressing is classified in form dressing... 

Dressing parameters are indicated by subscript d, to distinguish them from those well-known grinding parameters, which are indicated by subscript s. The dressing input parameters depend on the dressing tool and dressing process as presented in Fig. 4 (Klocke and Konig 2005). 

Assuming that the width of cut equals the active width of the dressing tool, the overlapping rate is... 

The genesis of natural diamond takes place at high pressures and temperatures within the Earth s mantle. The source of natural diamond is the primary influence of its chemical and physical properties. Today, natural diamond is mainly used in dressing tools and has been replaced by synthetic diamond in grinding tools. 

Dressing of diamond wheels with diamond dressing tools is stiU limited. A more common method is the use of vitrified bonded silicon carbide rollers either on brake-controlled truing devices or on driven truing spindles (Wegener et al. 2011). During this dressing procedure,... 

Abrasive appHcations for industrial diamonds include thek use in rock drilling, as tools for dressing and tmeing abrasive wheels, in polishing and cutting operations (as a loose powder), and as abrasive grits in bonded wheels and coated abrasive products.
