Grinding of Single-Crystal Superalloys: Fundamentals and Technologies

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of grinding technology for single-crystal nickel-based superalloys. It also explores and analyzes grinding mechanisms and characteristics using both theoretical and simulation approaches. The grinding behavior in conventional and micro grinding processes are evaluated and compared. Moreover, it assesses the surface integrity of single-crystal nickel-based superalloys under different grinding conditions. Lastly, simulation and theoretical models for predicting temperature and residual stresses in profile grinding, facilitating optimization and co ntrol are summarized and validated.
