Loss of cutting ability of metal bound diamond wheels at grind of composite materials

The article dwells upon the reasons of loss of cutting ability of metal bound diamond wheels in different conditions of grind of composite materials. The attention is paid to detection of deficiencies of traditional methods of diamond grind, which in most cases do not allow to reach the requited quality of composite materials processing. The researches were performed with the use of methods of raster, optical microscopy and interferometry. The problems under discussion and methods of their solution are directed to technological advancement of machine-building enterprises, for the purpose of rise of profitability and capacity of processing, as well as quality assurance of items made of composite materials.
