Process Technology

Course Objectives

• Basic knowledge on the honing process
• Basic knowledge of the general honing processes with the applied tooling, fixtures, abrasives and gauging equipment
• State of the art and R&D topics

Contents

• Honing basics (terminology, kinematics, machining, process time)
• Cutting material and cooling lubricants (components: Honing ledge, abrasives, coolant function)
• Demonstration of honing process
• Tooling (function principle, tool types, tool refurbishment, tool adaptions)
• Fixtures (rigid, floating, cardanic)
• Machine and components (expansion systems, stroke drives, gauging controls)
• Function and quality (quality terms, topography, contact roughness, form, cross hatch)
• Measuring of honed bores (size-, form-, and surface measuring, display of topography)
• Practical measuring demonstration
• Honing process I (form honing light/professional, expansion systems, stroke controls, quality values)
• Honing process II (honing of thermal coatings, material structure, position honing, rough honing, process layout, quality values)
• Honing process III (gear bores, small bores, match honing)
• Honing process IV (control sleeves, conrods)
• Current development/ trends
