What is a grinding wheel?

 Grinding wheel is the tool used in the process of grinding (grinding).



Comparison with cutting tools such as turning and milling

  • ① Easy to process hard, brittle and other materials that are not easy to process by cutting tools
  • ② It is easy to achieve the dimensional accuracy required by finishing
  • ③ Better surface roughness and gloss can be obtained
  • ④ Due to the large number of tool tips, the processing speed is fast, even if the feed is small
  • ⑤ It has self sharpening function and can be processed continuously for a long time

How are grinding wheels made?



The manufacturing process of grinding wheel goes through five stages: grinding, forming, sintering, finishing and inspection.

Three basic elements of grinding wheel

  1. Abrasive grains: responsible for cutting.
  2. Binding agent: fixed abrasive particles.
  3.  Air hole: it helps to remove chips and dissipate heat.
