.~ With critical temperature modification or control of work or abradant
DEFINITION
Classification: 451/53
With critical temperature modification or control of work or abradant:
(under subclass 28) Method auxiliary to the abrading operation and including, relative to work or tool, either a particularly defined thermal variation or control or else a detailed mode of accomplishing any heating, cooling, or constant temperature condition.
(1) Note. The sole disclosure of "cooling" or of "supplying a cooling liquid" is insufficient to define a "particularly defined" or "detailed mode..." as above, since liquid coolant is relied on in most abrading procedures.

33, for a related process in connection with tumbling, and see the search notes thereunder.
36, for temperature modification or control due to the fluid carrier of a fluent abrasive, or occurring simultaneously with the fluent abrading step.
