Abstract
This chapter discusses different case studies on sustainability in the life cycle of abrasive tools. The first study compares the embodied energy of tools with conventional abrasives against tools with superabrasives and discusses further considerations. The second study points to research work on comparing hard turning and grinding. The third and forth studies are about leveraging aspects in speed-stroke grinding and gear grinding.
