Phenolic Resin Bonds for Superabrasive Wheels

For superabrasive wheels, phenolic resin bonds represent the earliest, and most popular, bond type particularly for diamond wheels and especially for tool-room applications. The bonds were origi­nally developed for diamond with the introduction of carbide tooling in the 1940s. Their resilience made them optimal for maintaining tight radii while withstanding the impact of interrupted cuts […]

UNIAXIAL TRAVERSE DRESSING OF VITRIFIED CBN WHEELS WITH ROTARY DIAMOND TOOLS

7.5.1 Introduction The rules for dressing vitrified CBN wheels are similar in many ways to those described for conventional wheels. The same concepts of crush ratio, traverse rates, effective contact width, and depth of cut apply. The changes that must be made to the dressing conditions relate to the greater hardness, toughness, and cost of […]

Polyimide resin bonds

5.11.1 Introduction Polyimide resin was developed by DuPont in the 1960s originally as a high-temperature lacquer for electrical insulation. By the mid 1970s, it had been developed as a cross-linked resin for grinding wheels giving far higher strength, thermal resistance, and lower elongation than conventional phenolic bonds. The product was licensed to Universal Diamond Products […]

Crush Ratio

Crush ratio can have a profound effect on the dressing action. Ishikawa and Kumar [1991] reported a study on dressing of vitrified bonded wheels containing coarse grade 80# GE 1 abrasive. They distinguished between three forms of grit fracture: “micro,” “medium,” and “macro” as illustrated in the micrographs in Figure 7.21. It was determined that […]
