Chapter 26, Problem 1RQ
What is an abrasive? What are superabrasives?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
What is an abrasive? What are superabrasives?
Explanation of Solution
Small, hard particle with sharp edges are abrasives. Irregular shaped sand is an example of it. It is used to remove small amounts of material from a particular surface. Hard material like diamond or cubic boron nitride (CBN) is used to prepare super abrasives. Rectification tools and also grinding wheels are made up of superabrasives.
