ENVIRONMENTAL ACTUALITY, TECHNOLOGICAL COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT AND PREDICTION OF THE PROSPECTS OF ANHYDROUS DIAMOND- SPARK GRINDING USING SOLID LUBRICANTS

Abstract

The use of solid lubricants in anhydrous grinding technologies is consistent in reducing the use of water to serve industrial needs, which is one of the leading global environmental dominants. It is proposed to carry out development and research of ecological anhydrous processes of abrasive finishing forming of difficult-to-process materials by the method of diamond-spark grinding, which is the founder of NTU "KPI" and which has proved its high innovative flexibility and efficiency by wide scientific and industrial practice. The technologically competitive environment and some hypotheses and bases for the development of a complex of patentable technical solutions, as well as scientific and practical recommendations on the choice and technological instructions for the implementation of solid lubricants in diamond-spark grinding operations are presented. The article announces the implementation of the project ID: 62437 (3002-5695) with international cooperation under the auspices of the Ministry of Science and Education of Ukraine.
