High-Precision Electroplated Diamond & CBN Profile Grinding Wheels
Product Overview
Manufactured using an advanced electroplating (galvanic) process, these wheels bond superabrasive particles—Diamond (SD) or Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN)—securely to a precision-machined steel core. Unlike multi-layer sintered wheels, electroplated wheels feature a single layer of abrasives with cutting edges that protrude significantly above the bond layer (high grain protrusion).
This unique structure enables highly aggressive cutting forces and superior Material Removal Rates (MRR). The most significant advantage of this "single-layer" technology is its ability to perfectly maintain complex geometries and fine profiles from the very first cut. It requires no initial truing or dressing, significantly reducing machine setup, downtime, and changeover costs.
Material Specific Solutions
◆ Electroplated Diamond Wheels Engineered specifically for non-ferrous and hard-brittle materials.
Ideal for Tungsten Carbide, ceramics, quartz, optical glass, semiconductor wafers, sapphire, and composites (CFRP/GRP). The high protrusion of the electroplated bond provides excellent chip clearance, drastically reducing grinding resistance and heat generation. This minimizes the risk of thermal damage (micro-cracking) on sensitive workpieces, making it the perfect solution for deep cuts and intricate profile machining.
◆ Electroplated CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) Wheels Dedicated to hardened steels and superalloys.
Suitable for ferrous metals such as High-Speed Steel (HSS), tool steel, die steel, bearing steel, stainless steel, and nickel-based alloys (e.g., Inconel). CBN possesses exceptional thermal stability and resistance to chemical wear, maintaining extreme hardness even under high-speed, heavy-duty cutting. Combined with the superior heat dissipation of the electroplated process, it effectively prevents "grinding burns" on the workpiece surface. Widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries for long production runs, ensuring ultimate dimensional stability.
