Grinding wheel is the most important class of abrasive. Due to different abrasive, bond and manufacturing processes, cutting wheels characteristics are vary wide, so the grinding process quality, productivity and economy have an important impact. The characteristics of grinding wheel mainly determined by the abrasive particle size, binder, hardness, structure, shape and size and other factors.
According to abrasive, grinding wheels can be divided into ordinary and natural abrasive grinding wheel; According to the shape can be divided into flat-shaped grinding wheel, bevel wheel, cylindrical grinding wheel, cup wheel, disc wheel and so on; In accordance with the binding agent can be divided into ceramic wheel, resin wheel, rubber wheel, metal grinding wheel. The main parameters of grinding wheel are abrasive, viscosity, hardness, binding agents, shape, size and so on.
Since the wheel operate at high speed typically, should be carried out turning test and static balance test before use, after grinding wheel work for some time, it should be trimmed in order to restore the grinding performance and the correct geometry.
