Abstract
The scientific principles of abrasive machining processes fall within the domain of tribology. Tribology is the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion and primarily concerns the study of friction, lubrication, and wear. A systems approach can systematically identify the parameters that influence the course of a process and the strength of each influencing factor and its interactions with other parameters. With this systems knowledge, it is possible to approach the process optimization for a desired set of outcomes. For example, multiple interactions exist among the many variables governing the elastoplastic and microcutting processes that occur at numerous cutting edges in abrasive machining. In tribological terms, grinding and honing involve two-body abrasion, whereas lapping and polishing are considered three-body abrasion processes. This chapter describes tribosystems in abrasive machining processes.
