Development of a Technique for the Study of the Coated Abrasive Surface Wear

Abstract

Wear of abrasive tools, including coated abrasives, is an important performance feature. A large number of theoretical works and practical studies are devoted to wear assessment issues. In practice, there are many direct and indirect approaches to measuring wear of an abrasive tool. At the same time, many of them have significant shortcomings such as assessment complexity, high time costs, a significant share of manual labor, low measurement accuracy, the need to use specialized equipment, etc. Based on the foregoing, the development of an effective technique for assessing the coated abrasive wear with the use of information and analytical technologies is very relevant and promising. This work is devoted to the development of an original technique for determining the wear of coated abrasives and studying of the tool surface texture. Some results of studies on the wear of coated abrasives of various grain sizes and manufacturers are presented in the article.
