  Effect of grain size and density of abrasive on surface roughness, material removal rate and acoustic emission signal in rough honing processes 

  Buj Corral, Irene; Álvarez Flórez, Jesús Andrés; Domínguez Fernandez, Alejandro (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-08-01)
  Article
  Open Access

  Honing processes provide a special cross-hatch pattern to the internal surface of cylinders that favors oil flow. However, along honing operation the abrasive grains wear out and lose their ability to cut material. The ...
