Application of the dimensionless Aggressiveness number in abrasive processes
Paper in proceeding, 2021

The chip thickness is often used to characterize abrasive processes, particularly grinding. Unfortunately, because of the seemingly random nature of the geometrically undefined cutting points and difficulty in estimating the cutting-point density, chip thickness is notoriously difficult to quantify. Recently, the dimensionless Aggressiveness number has gained popularity because it circumvents the need to quantify the wheel topography and is applicable to any geometry in abrasive contact. This paper shows how the concept of dimensionless Aggressiveness number applies to the most common abrasive geometries and how it can be used to achieve practical results in a variety of applications.
