...articles is limited by the size and force capacity of the presses available. Weight of parts varies between 0.1 kg and 15 kg. The walls of compression moulded parts should be of uniform thickness and are in the range 3–6 mm. Thicker walls up to 12 mm can be moulded, but cure times are uneconomic. Very intricate articles with undercuts, small holes or side draws may not...

...article ] Manufacture: Selection of correct grinding wheel is essential to all processes and applications. Low stress grinding (LSG) uses wheel speeds of about 20 m s-1 and can usually be done on conventional grinding machines in any of the grinding modes. Most surface grinding operations use wheel speeds of 30–35 m s-1. High speed (high efficiency) grinding is a rapid...
