Taking a new approach to grinding system optimization for the manufacture of automotive components has many benefits. Norton superabrasive cBN grinding wheels easily cut difficult-to-grind steel parts Rc 50 or harder ...

This invention relates generally to a method for conditioning abrasive tools and more particularly to a method of conditioning superabrasive wheels. Precision grinding is a known process used to form machined parts by rotating or otherwise moving an abrasive tool (e.g. a grinding wheel) at a high surface speed and feeding it into a workpiece.

This paper presents the concept of superabrasive electroplated grinding wheels based on defined grain structures. The aim is to improve process stability, minimize heat …

Abstract. A state-of-the-art review on monolayer electroplated and brazed cubic boron nitride (CBN) superabrasive wheels for grinding metallic materials has been provided in this article. The fabrication techniques and mechanisms of the monolayer CBN wheels are discussed. Grain distribution, wheel dressing, wear behavior, and wheel performance ...

In-process Dressing Creep Feed Grinding. The latest grinding wheel technology, including superabrasive wheels, enables an intermittent, in-process approach to dressing for creep feed applications that prevents the need for continuous dress systems and further increases the life of the grinding wheel.

1 Superabrasive grinding wheel features. 1)Superabrasive itself has extremely high hardness and can process various high hardness materials, especially for materials that are difficult to process with conventional abrasives. 2)In the processing of superhard abrasives, the wear is small, and the service life is long, and the grinding ratio is ...

The centerless grinding process is deceptively simple yet precise. ... Superabrasive and silicon carbide wheel materials are an advantage when you are centerless grinding extremely hard metals, for several reasons: The wheels are durable and maintain their sharpness longer.
