Electroplated Diamond Grinding Wheels & CBN Profile Grinding Wheels
Our electroplated grinding wheels are engineered using an advanced electrodeposition process that securely bonds superabrasive particles—either Diamond (SD) or Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN)—to a precision-machined steel core. Unlike multi-layer sintered wheels, electroplated wheels feature a single layer of abrasive exposed high above the bond matrix. This structure delivers an aggressive cutting action and exceptional stock removal rates. A key advantage of this "Single Layer" technology is its ability to maintain complex forms and intricate profiles from the very first cut, eliminating the need for initial dressing or truing and significantly reducing setup time.
Designed for materials such as tungsten carbide, ceramics, glass, composites, and stone, our Electroplated Diamond Wheels offer superior sharpness and form retention. The free-cutting nature of the electroplated bond reduces heat generation, minimizing the risk of thermal damage to sensitive workpieces. These wheels are the ideal solution for applications requiring deep cuts, intricate profiling, or machining of materials that are difficult to grind with conventional bonds.
For grinding hardened steels, superalloys, and other ferrous materials, our Electroplated CBN Profile Grinding Wheels provide unmatched thermal stability and wear resistance. CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) retains its hardness even at high temperatures, making it perfect for dry grinding or high-speed operations where preventing metallurgical damage is critical. These wheels are widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries for precision machining of gears, turbine blades, and fuel injector components, ensuring consistent accuracy over long production runs.
