...Li Sun; Ajay P. Malshe; Wenping Jiang; Philip H. McCluskey Surface defects generated by grinding deteriorate the flexural strength of the silicon nitride ( Si 3 N 4 ) ceramic. In this paper, CO 2 laser surface processing was applied to eliminate the grinding-induced defects. SEM micrograph showed...

...Y. Ohbuchi, Research Associate; T. Obikawa, Professor A thermo-elastic-plastic finite element modeling of orthogonal cutting with a large negative rake angle has been developed to understand the mechanism and thermal aspects of grinding. A stagnant chip material ahead of the tool tip, which...
