All About Diamond and CBN Wheels
Diamond and CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) wheels are types of abrasive wheels used in various industrial applications. They are made with diamond or CBN abrasive grains embedded in a metal or resin bond matrix. Diamond wheels use synthetic diamond grains, which are incredibly hard and durable, making them ideal for grinding materials such as carbide, glass, ceramics, and other hard metals. They are highly efficient in removing material and can maintain their shape for a long time, which reduces the need for frequent wheel dressing. CBN wheels, on the other hand, use cubic boron nitride grains, which are second only to diamond in hardness. They are primarily used for grinding ferrous metals, such as steel and cast iron, but can also be used for other materials. CBN wheels are highly efficient at removing material and have a long lifespan, making them ideal for high-precision grinding applications. Both Diamond and CBN wheels have a range of benefits over traditional abrasive wh...
