Abstract

The quantum leap that is expected in the reliability and safety of machined engineering components over the next 20 years, especially in the space industries, will require improvements in the quality of cutting tools if science-based manufacturing is the goal for manufacturing by 2020. Significant improvements have been made in the past 10 years by understanding the properties of vitrified bonding systems used to bond conventional and superabrasive materials in grinding tools. The nature of the bonding system is of paramount importance if next-generation cutting tools are to be used for aerospace materials, especially if they are dressed using laser beams.
