As the world's hardest substance, diamond is the only abrasive material capable of effectively grinding, cutting or shaping ceramics, cemented carbides and ferrites. Our wide portfolio of superabrasives features diamond grinding wheels, flexible diamond belts, discs and more – plus diamond dressing rolls to keep your process running smoothly.
Grinding forces are minimized by using a very high-speed narrow superabrasive grinding wheel. Low grinding forces limit workpiece deflections and allow good accuracies to be achieved. Low forces also mean that components can be clamped using low clamping forces. This often allows components to be rotated by a driven centre.
A method of grinding a superabrasive workpiece includes placing a bonded abrasive article in contact with a superabrasive workpiece, wherein the bonded abrasive article comprises a body including abrasive grains contained within a bond material, and the superabrasive workpiece has an average Vickers hardness of at least about 1 GPa, and removing material from the …
It's an abrasive machining process whereby a thin superabrasive grinding wheel is run at high speed and used as the nose of a "turning tool" to machine cylindrical components; even parts with high length:diameter ratios, like automotive valve stems, can be machined by peel grinding. It's a versatile process due to the common shape of ...

Fine Grinding Wheels / Superabrasive wheels. The fine grinding process produces flat lapping quality on a variety of materials without the expense and "mess" associated with lapping. Fine grinding wheels produce material removal rates are up to 20 times faster than lapping. Our special vitrified and resin bonds combined with our use of the ...
The centerless grinding process is deceptively simple yet precise. ... Superabrasive and silicon carbide wheel materials are an advantage when you are centerless grinding extremely hard metals, for several reasons: The wheels are durable and maintain their sharpness longer.
Cubic boron nitride (CBN) is a superabrasive traditionally used to grind steels and nickel alloys. Though not as hard as diamond (4,500kg/mm 2 vs. 9,000 kg/mm 2 ), CBN is not chemically reactive with ferrite-based and nickel …
A grinding article, which has a grinding layer derived from a superabrasive composition comprising a mixture of diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN) particles in a volume ratio of 8.5:1.5 to 9.5:0.5 and a substrate element assembled for securing the grinding layer by way of forming a three-dimensional bonding interface therewith provides excellent grinding efficiency …
A grinding machine is shown as including a machine base, a wheel supported by the base and carrying a rotatable superabrasive grinding wheel, a device for relatively feeding the grinding wheel and a workpiece at a feed rate along a normal force vector between the two, and an apparatus for controlling the grinding processes.
Electroplated profiled superabrasive grinding wheels which integrate both advantages of grinding and profile milling have been widely used in the machining process the wide chord hollow fan blade rabbets made of Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

Grinding is a subset of cutting, as grinding is a true metal-cutting process. Each grain of abrasive functions as a microscopic single-point cutting edge (although of high negative rake angle ), and shears a tiny chip that is analogous to what would conventionally be called a "cut" chip (turning, milling, drilling, tapping, etc.).
In addition to the automotive and electrodeposition industries, manufacturers of aircraft, heavy machinery, bearings, and engines and turbines are expected to benefit significantly, leveraging the advantages of superabrasive grinding into key process and product improvements.
