Laser cleaning and dressing of vitrified grinding wheels

Grinding is an industrial process that produces engineering components with a desired surface finish. Prior to the development of continuous dressing operations, the grinding efficiency of vitrified grinding wheels deteriorates as the sharp cutting edges become blunt due to the formation of wear fla...
