Choose the right abrasives for industrial cutting and grinding process

Cutting and grinding wheels are one of the most important power tool cutting accessories to achieve a better finish on cutting hard materials like metal, plastic, and wood. These cutting wheels perform the same job as teeth of a saw does, but the grinding wheel has abrasive grains


distributed throughout the wheel and it gives a better finish on workpiece. Choosing the wrong product for your project may cost your time and money both. You can shop for cutting wheels online choosing from different online portals. Whether you are shopping online or offline, before going out to a market to buy cutting and grinding wheels, check out some important characteristics of these wheels for better output with perfect choice. Important characteristics of cutting and grinding wheels : Abrasive grain material: Grained particles spread over a grinding wheel are made of different conventional abrasives such as aluminium oxide(A), Silicon Carbide(S) and Ceramic(C) and there are few superabrasives also like diamond (D, MD, SD) and cubic boron nitride(CBN) grains. Abrasive grains are selected depending on the hardness of the material being cut. Grain Size: Ultra-fine grain sizes are considered for precision finish work, while large grained particle results in poor surface finish. Grain size ranges from 10(coarsest) to 600(finest)which determines the average physical size of abrasive grains in the wheel. Wheel grade: Wheel grade should be selected wisely because it affects the entire consideration of grinding from wheel speed to grinding depth, coolant flow, maximum and minimum feed rates. Wheel grade is defined on rating of A(Soft) to Z(hard). A to H is for softer structure, I to P for moderately hard structure and Q to Z for hard structure. This rating determines how tightly bond holds the abrasive. Grain spacing: Grain spacing is defined on 1(densest) to 17(least dense). A lesser dense wheel cuts freely and provides a better surface finish. Wheel bond type: Wheel bonding material helps to hold the grain together in an abrasive wheel. There are different standard grinding wheel bonds- vitrified bond, resinoid bond, silicate, shellac, rubber,


metal, oxychloride, plated. Vitrified bond material made of clay and fluxes are most popular and retain high strength on wheels. 75% of the abrasive wheels use vitrified bonds.
