DIAMOND OR CUBIC BORON NUTRIDE (CBN) WHEELS

These are tools widely used whenever grinding and sharpening operations are to be carried out. When judiciously chosen, they prove to be highly efficient tools.

In determining the optimum working characteristics of diamond or CBN wheels a lot of factors are to be taken into consideration: the characteristics of the piece to be processed, the processing mode, the machine tool, the working conditions, etc.

We are presenting succinct technical information and instructions to be observed in choosing the diamond or CBN wheels that can secure maximum efficiency of the desired processing.

a) DIAMOND WHEELS can be used for processing following materials:

• cemented carbides, sintered and presintered;

• glass and quartz;

• ceramic materials;

• porcelain, faience;

• ferrite;

• silicon and germanium;

• graphite and electrographite;

• refractory materials;

• synthetic materials (hard plastics and glass silkreinforsed plastics);

• conventional grinding stones;

• thermally or thermochemically treated steel;

• cast iron etc.
