TLDR
In this article, the influence of Young's modulus, hardness and fracture toughness on material removal and surface roughness for two different sets of experimental conditions was analyzed. And the authors developed a model of three-body abrasion by material removal via rolling and indenting abrasives, which allows an average normal force per abrasive to be determined from Preston's coefficient and the characteristics of the workpiece and abrasive.
Abstract
Lapping of glass and other brittle materials is an important economic activity. Nevertheless, it has not received much scientific attention, despite the fact that it is also related to problems of wear (three-body abrasion). Therefore, lapping of glass has been analysed in terms of the concept of lateral fracture, by studying the influence of material parameters, namely Young's modulus, hardness and fracture toughness, on material removal and surface roughness for two different sets of experimental conditions. The concept was found to be well applicable, and was therefore used to develop a model of three-body abrasion by material removal via rolling and indenting abrasives. The model gives a good description of the two experiments. It allows an average normal force per abrasive to be determined from Preston's coefficient and the characteristics of the workpiece and abrasive.

Experiments and observations regarding the mechanisms of glass removal in magnetorheological finishing

TL;DR: Drag force measurements and atomic force microscope scans demonstrate that, when added to a MR fluid, nonmagnetic abrasives are driven toward the workpiece surface because of the gradient in the magnetic field and hence become responsible for material removal.

Three-body abrasion of brittle materials as studied by lapping

M. Buijs, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for three-body abrasion of brittle materials is presented based on material removal by rolling abrasive particles, where the particles indent the workpiece surface and remove material by lateral cracking.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the dynamics of lateral crack propagation in a sharp-indenter contact field and derived an expression for equilibrium crack evolution with due allowance for the close proximity of crack plane and specimen free surface.

A study of abrasive wear under three-body conditions

Ernest Rabinowicz, +2 more
- 01 Sep 1961 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a simple quantitative expression for abrasive wear rate is developed, and the abrasive data of a number of earlier investigators is analyzed in terms of this expression. But the results of this analysis are limited, since the average loose abrasive grain spends 90% of its time rolling and only 10% of the time abrading the sliding surfaces between which it is situated.
