Resin Bonded Diamond Wheels
Resin Bonded Diamond Wheels
In most cases, the resin bond is produced using heat-cured resin made of phenolic resin. The grinding capacity, floor polish, and chipping caused by resin bond wheels are among the lowest possible. It finds widespread use in manufacturing difficult-to-machine materials such as cemented carbide, porcelain, glass, and silicon, as well as ferrous materials such as high-speed steels and sintering ferrous metals.
Applications
- Resin Bond diamond wheels are used for precision grinding of cemented carbide, cermets and ceramics.
- Due to bond elasticity, they are used to grind silicon, glass, ceramic-based electrical parts, etc. which require an excellent surface finish.
Characteristics of Resin Bond Wheels
- In most cases, resin bonds will include some additional filler, consisting of organic or inorganic compounds, metals, and other such things. Further into phenolic resin to give you more control over the wear resistance, high thermal stability, grit retention, and lubricating properties of the material.
- Resin bond wheels have shortened wheel lifestyles due to the fact the adhesion between both the grit and the bond isn’t always as powerful as that of metal bond wheels. Resin wheels have splendid characteristics in processing efficiency, unfastened slicing, surface end, and negligible chipping.
- Resin wheels have a low Young’s modulus, which means that they have splendid characteristics in processing efficiency. Furthermore, resin bond has a significantly higher capacity for reduction when processing materials that are difficult to grind, such as ceramics, cermets, and other similar substances.
- The diamonds and CBN abrasives utilized in resin bond wheels are not the same as those utilized in metal bond wheels. They have an irregular shape and a surface that is easy to microfracture. They accomplish this by doing so, which, in addition, enables them to develop fresh cutting edges continuously during grinding. The diamond has a steel lining, and the floor has been given a more choppy form, all in an effort to improve grit retention.
- Although resin wheels are most commonly used for the wet grind, it is possible to adapt them for use in dry grinding by adding some filler. This will minimize the heat the grinding process creates while also boosting the wheels’ capacity for reduction.
