From Volume 6 No.6 June 1968:
The Story Behind the Bond Marking on a Wheel by Donald Tucker, A.P. DeSanno & Son covers briefly the basics of what constituted bond systems for conventional grinding wheels in 1968. Contemporary bonds have changed somewhat from these formulas, particularly with bonds that include high porosity. Nonetheless, this article provides an important historical background for vitrified, resin, rubber, shellac, silicate, Oxyochloride and metal bonds. View article. The details of modern bonds usually appear in patents or held as company trade secrets. The best discussion of modern bonds appears in the Handbook of Machining with Grinding Wheels.
From Volume 6 no 5, March 1968:
Filtration of Coolants Pays Dividends by Norman Williams, Eastern Filter Sales, Inc. The article shows that even in the 1960s filtration of coolants was recognized as being important and the expenses in setting up a filtration system are well worth the benefits. View article
A previous article in the column was one of the early sources that show how fluids really do affect wheel performance. Even back in 1968 companies were testing alternates such as liquid carbon dioxide. View this article. View Issue.
The latest discussion of the subject of grinding fluids appears in Metalworking Fluids by Jerry P. Byers published by the Society of Tribology and Lubrication Engineers Details
We're looking of early issues of the journal, particularly volumes 1 through 5. Contact us if you have any of those issues!

NEW TECHNICAL RESOURCE
Mass Finishing Handbook
A comprehensive book on the deburring using abrasives and other media by Deburring Expert LaRoux Gillespie. Drawn for 40 years of work in deburring and with assistance of key manufacturers of deburring equipment, Gillespies has produced the first comprehensive book on surface and edge finishing. Written in a style for immediate use by both experienced and beginning engineer. More details |

NEW TEXTBOOK
Handbook of Machining with Grinding Wheels
After more than a decade, manufacturers now have a resource to help with production grinding applications. The Handbook of Machining with Grinding Wheels is a clear illustration of how grinding has changed from a finishing operation into a process that is comparable to traditional machining methods. |  |
The change has been brought about by several factors including new abrasives, substantially greater material removal rates, better machine tool controls and understanding of processes, new and better grinding fluids, and other innovations. What's significant is the improved performance is an added benefit for applications calling for new materials such as composites, nickel or titanium-based materials. But grinding is not a technology without its problems. Proper use new technologies are necessary to avoid thermal damage,surface damage, chatter, wheel glazing, or rapid wheel wear.
Five authors collaborate on this work summarizing the knowledge drawn from research centers in Japan, the United States, Europe, and other countries. Showing the emphasis upon application, the book has two sections: Basic Processes and Applications. Notable is the details of superabrasives that have largely been missing in books over the last decade. Examples of new state-of-the-art technologies include dressers and dressing techniques, coolants and coolant applications, sensors and monitoring processes, and vibration and wheel dynamics.
Not since Francis Farago's Abrasives Methods went out of print in the 1990s have manufacturers had access to updated resources on used of centerless, ID, OD and cylindrical grinding. Machine tool design now plays an important role in grinding process and the authors provide chapters on important new machine tool designs and the unique aspects of centerless, ID and surface grinding methods. Illustrating how spindles play a key role in machine capabilities author discuss spindle designs and the types of products available on the market.

CHATTER
Chatter is on one of the most common and perplexing problems in grinding,and engineering now feel they understand many of the mechanism causing it. AES has many resources that can help to understand this complex subject. More...
GRINDING STRESSES
What's the effects of fluids on residual stress in a workpiece?---A research paper from the 60s offers this: - "For metals, at least, the workpiece apparently absorbs the surface heat so rapidly that any subsequent cooling by the fluid is of minor importance. Some research findings:
- Stresses obtained with water solutions of rust inhibitor or miscible oils differ very little from those resulting from dry grinding.
- Some reduction in magnitude of the peak tensile stresses is indicated by certain straight grinding oils.
- Straight grinding oils are conducive to high compressive stresses very close to the surface.
- The effectiveness of a grinding fluid, as far as residual stresses are concerned, depends upon its ability to reduce thermal and mechanical stresses during chip formation rather than upon its ability to carry heat away from the cutting zone after it has been generated. That is, in terms of the generally recognized functions of grinding fluids, lubrication is more important than cooling/"
