Abrasive fine-finishing technology - ScienceDirect
In fine grinding, the energy u is over 80 J/mm 3 because of the increased energies of plowing and sliding actions of grains. In abrasive fine-finishing, the equivalent chip thickness becomes smaller than that in the fine grinding, and the total specific energy u is expected to be much greater than in fine grinding.

The mirror ended up with a very smooth, zone free, nearly spherical figure ready for final figuring. Figure 1: Polishing pads applied to a 9 inch grinding tool. Another local ATM has also tried the polishing pads with abrasive and CeO. His own 17.5" mirror took about nine hours to …
Grinding an 8″ F/10 Telescope Mirror – gordtulloch
During this pause in grinding I also decided to take Richard Schwartz's advice and make a Dental Stone tool for my pitch lap. The reason for this is that if you need to go back to fine grinding for any reason (such as a scratch, I got a couple of minor ones on the mirror already from wiping with a contaminated cloth) you need your tool again – if you build your pitch lap for polishing on ...
Meister Abrasives introduces Ultra-Fine 6 grinding wheel ...
The new vitrified-bond ultra-fine grinding technology combines what is claimed to be unparalleled quality and exceptional performance to achieve results unseen until now.

A study of mirror-like grinding of fine ceramics with in ...
Fine ceramics have the properties of high hardness, chemical inertness, high thermal resistance and low electrical conductivity, but, because of high hardness and brittleness, they are very difficult to machine. Therefore, a superabrasive diamond wheel is used for mirror-like grinding of this material. In this study, an in-process electrolytic dressing system for carrying out mirror-like ...
