Reusable unit process life cycle inventory for manufacturing: grinding

This paper is a part of a series in which the goal is to provide users with calculation tools to estimate the energy use and mass loss of one unit process in a full manufacturing line. It is known as a unit process life cycle inventory (UPLCI). As such, this information is reusable in a wide range of products made of different materials. Grinding is the first UPLCI in this series, which is in the mass reduction category of the taxonomy of manufacturing processes. The energy calculations are not limited to the active or tip grinding energy, but include idle and basic energy values. In addition, an example calculation is provided to assist the UPLCI reader. The UPLCI can then be connected to others to estimate whole product manufacturing sequences.
