THERE ARE MANY APPLICATIONS FOR THE FREE HAND GRINDING OF ALUMINUM. SOME OF THOSE APPLICATIONS ARE SNAGGING OF GATES AND RISERS ON CASTINGS, DEBURRING AFTER MACHINING, AND SMOOTHING OF PARTING LINES FROM CASTINGS AND FORGINGS. ALUMINUM HAS BECOME EXTREMELY POPULAR IN APPLICATIONS REQUIRING LOW WEIGHT AND HIGH STRENGTH. SOME OF THESE APPLICATIONS RESULT IN FATIGUE CRACKS.
