GRINDING AND GENERAL INFORMATION Grinding with superabrasives is a procedure in which the cutting part of the abrasives consists of a large number of non-uniformly distributed cutting edges. These cutting edges are formed using superabrasive grit. Superabrasive particles are bonded into the abrasive rim layer of the grinding tool together with certain fillers using phenol-formaldehyde or polyimide resin. The grinding tool body provides appropriate strength and rigidity, reduces vibrations and the heat. Basic grinding parameters T s vs Ps vw Vb a vs bk vs D n Ps a vw Vb – – – – – – – peripheral...

Basic grinding factors - workpiece; (material, shape, hardness) - type of grinding - grinding parameters; (vs, a, Qw) - grinding tool; appropriate shape and body, appropriately selected components of the abrasive rim layer - dressing of the grinding tool - cooling and lubrication - type and condition of the grinding machine The efficiency and cost-efficiency of grinding with superabrasives are affected by all of the above factors. This catalogue focuses primarily on the correct selection of grinding tools, as well as on the interactions and our recommendations regarding other factors. Superabrasive...

Selection of the most rigid shapes is recommended, as bodies cores are less sensitive to impact and prevent vibrations. Also, cup shapes are better for side surface grinding than wheel shapes. 12

WorstBest SINTER-ALUMINIUM - Medium weight material used for rigid grinding wheel bases. It adequately dampens vibrations, removes heat and provides good mechanical strength. DURALUMINIUM – A heavier material which should be used when more stable bases are needed. It provides good mechanical strength and also better heat removal than sinter-aluminium. STEEL – Steel bases are significantly heavier than the other four types of materials. They are used whenever good mechanical properties need to be ensured even with thin abrasives, for example cutting-off wheels (1A1R). BAKELITE – A lighter material...

Selection of superabrasive grit size The size of abrasive grits determines the effect of grinding and the surface roughness. The most cost-effective choice is the coarsest granulation that still achieves the required surface roughness. If a greater amount of material needs to be removed during grinding, a combination of two step coarse grinding and finish grinding is the most cost-effective. In the table, grit sizes according to the FEPA, US ASTM and German DIN standard are stated for comparison. To simplify, one can view the sizes according to the FEPA standard as approximately corresponding...

Superabrasive grit concentration The concentration should be selected with respect to the grinding procedure. Low concentrations are recommended for fine abrasive grits, with large contact surfaces between the abrasive and workpiece and in manual grinding; high concentrations are more suitable for coarse grits and small contact surfaces and whenever large profile stability of the grinding tool is required. This is expressed as the quantity of diamond or cubic boron nitride grits in carats/cm3 of the superabrasive rim layer (1 ct = 0.2 g). The diagrams show the volume percentage of superabrasive...
