I.1. CERAMIC BONDED GRINDING WHEELS - for SURFACE GRINDING OPERATIONS
Straight or inclined surfaces working is performed with surface grinding maschine which make use of ceramic bonded grinding wheels - cylindrical; ring; cup and segment types.
CERAMIC BONDED GRINDING WHEELS - are used in the following operations:
Straight or inclined surfaces working is performed with surface grinding maschine which make use of ceramic bonded grinding wheels - cylindrical; ring; cup and segment types.
-Ceramic bonded grinding wheels – plane cylindrical type- for surface grinding - the most widely used as they perform both surface and ball-bearing rings, shoulders or outlines grinding - ceramic bonded grinding wheels – cylindrical ring type- for surface grinding – are used on medium power maschines and this type of grinding wheel can remove the excesses material faster, but less accurately - ceramic bonded grinding wheels-straight cup wheel type-for surface grinding - are used on low power maschines and this type of grinding wheel can remove the excesses material faster, but less accurately - ceramic bonded grinding wheels- segments type-for surface grinding - are used on high power maschines and this type of wheels can remove the excesses material faster, but less accurately . Segments are convenient for fast and cold working aplications.
The above mentioned ceramic bonded grinding wheels are recommended to be used for the following materials processing : aluminium alloy ; hard bronze ; soft brass and bronze ; unalloyed steel, alloyed steel ; stainless steel ; grey cast iron ; metallic carbide ; stellite ; rubber and plastics.
Grinding of outside revolution surfaces is performed with the following abrasives:
External cylindrical grinding between centers is used for the mass production of the identical working pieces which, because of their shape, may be introduce in the maschine with a diameter dimension and taken off with another dimension.
- ceramic bonded grinding wheels for external cylindrical grinding- between centers- type 1 (straight wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for external cylindrical grinding- between centers- type 5 (recessed one side wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for external cylindrical grinding – between centers- type 7 (recessed two sides wheel)
External plunge feed grinding is used for the mass production of the identical working pieces with irregular cylindrical shapes.
- ceramic bonded grinding wheels for external grinding- plunge feed grinding- type 1 (straight wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for external grinding- plunge feed grinding- type 5 (recessed one side wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for external grinding- plunge feed grinding- type 7 (recessed two sides wheel)
Camshaft external cylindrical grinding is a very specialised operation. For this operation cylindrical type ceramic bonded wheels are recommended.
For this specialised operation cylindrical type ceramic bonded wheels are recommended.
Centerless grinding is used for the mass production of the identical working pieces which because of their shape may be introduce in the maschine with a diameter dimension and taken off with another dimension.
For this operation 1CR and 38CR types of ceramic bonded wheels are recommended.
Internal grinding wheels are of a harder grade and with a more open structure than external grinding wheels.
Grinding is one of the technological finishing operations for gears theeth. It is recommended for the gears which work at high efforts and great speeds.
- ceramic bonded grinding wheels for gears grinding - type 3 (tapered wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for gears grinding-type 4 (both sides tapered wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for gears grinding- type 12A (dish wheel) -ceramic bonded grinding wheels for gears grinding- 12M1 (dish with step and canal)
The well- known gear grinding alternatives are :
- MAAG system;
- REISHAUER system;
- NILES system.
For this type of operation recommended grits range are between 100 and 500 and hardness between I and N. Thread grinding wheels are used for the manufacture of special screws for trucks industry, air industry, maschine tools and accessories, fine mechanics.
The technological operations performed with these wheels are bevelling, edging, mitering chamfering and mirror, notches, wind screen working.
-ceramic bonded grinding wheels for glass grinding- type 1Glass. This type of grinding wheels have diameters ranging from 80 to 500 mm, heights between 6 and 50 mm, grits size between 46 and 500, hardness K-Q.
An important matter in tools sharpening is how to maintain tool shape and dimensions and at the same time to obtain the best cutting angle. This need is achieved by a good cutting edges abrasive and an adequate shape holding bond.
Depending on the maschine type used for sharpening the following grinding wheels are recommended:
- ceramic bonded grinding wheels for hand lead maschine sharpening- type 1 (straight wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for hand lead maschine sharpening- type 2 (ring wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for hand lead maschine sharpening- type 6 (straight cup wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for mechanical lead maschine sharpening - type 1 (straight wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for mechanical lead maschine sharpening - type 6 (straight cup wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for mechanical lead maschine sharpening- type 11 (tapered cup wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for wood cutters sharpening on mechanical lead maschines- type 1 (straight wheel) and type 6 (straight cup wheel) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for saw sharpening on mechanical lead maschines- type 1C si 1CTP
Honing was mainly used for obtaining very smooth areas or for obtaining accurate dimensions, by means of sligh geometrical corrections.
Ceramic bonded grinding wheels recommended for honing are:
- ceramic bonded grinding wheels for honing- honing files- type 54 HON A (honing file rectangular section) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels for honing- honing files- type 54 HON A (honing file square section)
In finishing the abrasive stone has a reciprocating movement, exerting a constant pressure on the surface of the work-piece turns around.
Ceramic bonded wheels recommended for manual finishing are :
- ceramic bonded grinding wheels - finishing files - type 90PMA (manual file square section) - ceramic bonded grinding wheels – finishing files- type 90PMB (manual file rectangular section).
