  2. Lapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapping

    Lapping machine. Lapping is a machining process in which two surfaces are rubbed together with an abrasive between them, by hand movement or using a machine. Lapping often follows other subtractive processes with more aggressive material removal as a first step, such as milling and/or grinding. Lapping can take two forms.

  3. Surface finish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finish

    The inserts and coolant cost money, but the costs that grinding or polishing would incur (more time and additional materials) would cost even more than that. Obviating the second operation results in a lower unit cost and thus a lower price. The competition between vendors elevates such details from minor to crucial importance. It was certainly ...

    The grit particles are known as free abrasives. The particles are added to a liquid slurry, which goes between a grinding plate and the material. Sliding motions between the grinding plate and the material are used. [4] After grinding, there is a small amount of surface roughness, which is based on the size of the grit.

  5. Polishing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polishing_(metalworking)

    While used less extensively than traditional mechanical polishing, electropolishing is an alternative form of polishing that uses the principles of electrochemistry to remove microscopic layers of metal from a base surface. [3] This method of polishing can be fine-tuned to give a wide range of finishes, from matte to mirror-bright.

  6. Centerless grinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centerless_grinding

    A schematic diagram of the centerless grinding process. Centerless grinding is a machining process that uses abrasive cutting to remove material from a workpiece. [1] Centerless grinding differs from centered grinding operations in that no spindle or fixture is used to locate and secure the workpiece; [2] the workpiece is secured between two rotary grinding wheels, and the speed of their ...

  7. Surface grinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_grinding

    Surface grinding is done on flat surfaces to produce a smooth finish. It is a widely used abrasive machining process in which a spinning wheel covered in rough particles ( grinding wheel ) cuts chips of metallic or nonmetallic substance from a workpiece, making a face of it flat or smooth.

    Bottom line. Ultimately, whether you can retire on less than $1 million will largely depend on your spending needs during retirement and your remaining life expectancy.

  9. Belt grinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_grinding

    Belt grinding is an abrasive machining process used on metals and other materials. It is typically used as a finishing process in industry. A belt, coated in abrasive material, is run over the surface to be processed in order to remove material or produce the desired finish.
