  2. Metallography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallography

    After mounting, the specimen is wet ground to reveal the surface of the metal. The specimen is successively ground with finer and finer abrasive media. Silicon carbide abrasive paper was the first method of grinding and is still used today. Many metallographers, however, prefer to use a diamond grit suspension which is dosed onto a reusable ...

    Before the development of current welding technology, sculptures made from metal were either cast or forged, and welding was primarily used in the construction industry. The first welded sculptures were credited to the Russian artist Vladimir Tatlin, [1] who created his first piece of art in 1913. Tatlin was an important figure in the Russian ...

    Grinding uses an abrasive process to remove material from the workpiece. A grinding machine is a machine tool used for producing very fine finishes, making very light cuts, or high precision forms using an abrasive wheel as the cutting device.

  6. Grinding (abrasive cutting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_(abrasive_cutting)

    Grinding is a subset of cutting, as grinding is a true metal-cutting process. Each grain of abrasive functions as a microscopic single-point cutting edge (although of high negative rake angle), and shears a tiny chip that is analogous to what would conventionally be called a "cut" chip (turning, milling, drilling, tapping, etc.) [citation needed].

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repoussé_and_chasing

    Repoussé (French: ⓘ) or repoussage (ⓘ) is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is shaped by hammering from the reverse side to create a design in low relief. Chasing (French: ciselure) or embossing is a similar technique in which the piece is hammered on the front side, sinking the metal. The two techniques are often used in ...

  9. Grindstone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grindstone

    Aboriginal grinding grooves, or axe-grinding grooves, have been found across the Australian continent. [3] The working edge of the hatchet or axe was sharpened by rubbing it against an abrasive stone, eventually leading to the creation of a shallow oval -shaped groove over time, [ 4 ] The grooves vary in length from 80 mm (3.1 in) up to 500 mm ...
