Investigations of the dressing process of thermally sprayed abrasive coatings

Abstract:
Cold gas spraying has shown great potential in the production of grinding tools. In this process, cubic boron nitride (cBN) is mixed with cooper and sprayed onto a subtract to create abrasive coatings. This research focuses on developing tailored cBN-metal composite coatings and qualifying them for grinding operations. A key aspect of this research project is optimizing the preparation process based on the unique properties of the cBN-metal composite coating and the dressing tools.
Within the scope of the work, dressing and grinding processes will be analyzed by means of experimental investigations in a developed analogy test in order to determine the interactions and the influence of the process parameters.
