COMING IN JUNE AND OCTOBER 2002 Superabrasives
Engineering
Certificate Course
Here's a course designed and taught specifically for engineers with all the techncial details.
An understanding of superabrasive tools --diamond and cubic boron nitride -- is vital if you are involved in grinding, finishing or machining in any way. These tools will provide productivity improvements that can keep your operation competitive .. if you know what the materials are, how to select the right ones for your particular application and how to apply them properly. You can gain this expertise by attending this comprehensive, hands-on course offered in this files. Taught by experienced educators and industry experts, this course is designed to achieve a practical comeptency each attendee can employ the day he/she completes the courses. The SECC course incorporates lectures, video instruction and hands-on machine shop training that will fully prepare attendees:

  • To understand the composition and properties of diamond, CBN and related superabrasive materials.
  • To select the appropriate supearbrasive wheels, slurries and cutting tools to grind, polish, lap, tun and mill the hardest, most abrasive metals, composites and non-metallic materials used in industry today.
  • To analyze the economics of superabrasives tools and learn how to process materials more efficiently in order to achieve the targeted economic results.
  • To understand how supearbrasive tooling can improve quality in precision and predictability in grinding and machining.
  • To replace tedious grinding operations with hard turning and burnishing.
  • To make CNC operations much more efficient and productive.
  • To understand the broad application potential of diamond wheels., slurries and machining tools and be able to setup and apply them.
  • To select and use CBN wheels, slurries and machining tools to process the hardest, toughest metals, with greater productivity and overall cost reductions.
The course includes a detailed course book and a comprehensive set of practical reference information, which will provide ongoing help in your operation, long after the course concludes.
