Advanced abrasive grinding & cutting wheels
Advanced grinding and cutting abrasive products
Diamond is the hardest material known to man, closely followed by cubic boron nitride (CBN). As a result of their hardness these materials are used extensively in the most demanding precision grinding, slicing and cutting applications. Typical work materials include carbide, high speed steel, ceramics and glass. As well as Diamond and CBN, ceramic aluminium oxide abrasive is an important addition to the choice of advanced abrasive wheels used in internal, surface and cylindrical grinding applications.
Why use advanced abrasive products
Diamond and CBN wheels are designed to grind and cut the hardest materials known to man, helping make 'difficult to grind' applications routine operations. Hardness, abrasion resistance, compressive strength, thermal conductivity are all features designed to achieve a high level of precision and quality, making them a logical choice for a wide range of applications. Diamond and CBN are ideal for CNC machine operations but can also be used on conventional machines for tool and cutter, profile grinding, surface grinding and saw sharpening applications.
Ceramic aluminium oxide is harder and sharper than other conventional abrasive grains. The ceramic grain has a unique micro crystalline structure and when used in a grinding operation this micro crystalline structure becomes self-sharpening. This leads to a reduction in the need for wheel dressing and considerably cooler cutting action. Ceramic aluminium oxide grain is a cost effective alternative to CBN as it can be used successfully in conventional applications on older less rigid machinery.
