What grinding wheel should be used for PCD Cutting tools?

2022 07/15

The high hardness and high wear resistance of PCD tools are destined to be a relatively difficult tool to grind. The grinding of PCD tools is very different from the ordinary grinding process, because PCD tools are the process of grinding diamonds with diamonds. Grinding machines, diamond grinding wheels and grinding processes all have high demands. The selection of PCD tool grinding wheel should pay attention to the following points, then follow the editor of OPT to take a look!

1. Granularity selection

The smaller the particle size, the smoother the surface grinding. Of course, it is impossible to choose only one particle size, and the thickness should be combined.

2. Binder selection

There are three kinds of bonding agents: diamond, resin and ceramic bond.

diamond grinding wheel

Bronze binder is used, which has good formability, high strength and certain toughness, but poor self-excitation.

Resin bond grinding wheel

High strength, good elasticity, and stable bonding, but the resin is a polymer material with no fixed melting point, so the heat resistance is poor. When the temperature reaches above 200, the bonding ability is greatly reduced.

vitrified bond grinding wheel

High hardness, good self-excitation, stable chemical properties, heat resistance, water resistance, acid resistance, etc., and low cost, but the vitrified bond grinding wheel is powder pressed, so the uniformity is difficult to guarantee, and it is relatively brittle, so grinding Abrasive particles and binders tend to fall off collectively during processing.

In general, these three grinders have their own characteristics, and the needs depend on the actual situation.
