Vocabulary Term

Definition

aluminum oxide

A compound made from bauxite and other additives that is commonly used as an abrasive material. Aluminum oxide is also referred to as alumina.

grinding

A finishing process that uses an abrasive to wear away at the surface of a workpiece. Grinders provide an efficient way to shape and finish metals and other materials.

grinding wheel

A disc made of a bonded abrasive used to remove material from a workpiece surface. Grinding wheels rotate and shear away microscopic chips of material and can produce very fine surface finishes.

infeed

The feed of the grinding wheel into the workpiece. Infeed can be continuous or incremental.

loaded

The accumulation of swarf trapped in a grinding wheel. Loading causes increased friction and chatter, which can damage a workpiece.

micrometer

A measuring instrument with a threaded spindle that slowly advances toward a small anvil. Micrometers are available in numerous types for measuring a variety of dimensions and features.

scrap

Unusable material produced during a manufacturing process. Scrap is a waste product of manufacturing that can increase overall production costs.

second shift

An evening or afternoon shift. Second shift typically begins between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. and ends between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m.

silicon carbide

A chemical compound made from silicon and carbon. Silicon carbide is a conventional abrasive with grains that are harder, more friable, and more aggressively shaped than aluminum oxide grains.

speed

The rate at which a grinding tool or workpiece rotates. Speed rates depend on workpiece material, the maximum operating speed of the grinding wheel, and other factors.

tolerance

An acceptable deviation from a desired dimension that meets specifications. Parts outside of a required tolerance must be discarded or reworked.

workpieces

A material being machined or undergoing another type of processing. Workpieces can be shaped by processes such as cutting, welding, and grinding.
