Abstract
Grinding is a typical machining process which utilizes a grinding wheel consisting of abrasive grains held together with a binder material. The material removal action is done by the masses of tiny and sharp abrasives directly. Therefore, the good condition of grinding abrasives and wheel is very important to achieve good grinding performance. Thus, it is necessary to perform the conditioning (including both the dressing and truing processes) of grinding wheel. Generally, it is relatively simple to achieve the conditioning of conventional grinding wheel. But it is not the case for the superabrasive and wheels, which some novel dressing and truing methods and equipment are needed and decisive for the high-quality conditioning of grinding wheel. In this chapter, the common abrasives and bonds used in a grinding process are roughly introduced to give a general background firstly. Then some typical conditioning methods and novel techniques for precision machining are presented, which are mechanical dressing (cup-wheel dressing), laser dressing (LD), electrical discharge dressing (EDD), and electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID), as this can provide an impressive basis for comprehension of the conditioning and preparation of a superabrasive grinding wheel in precision machining.
