Vitrified Bond Diamond Wheel
Vitrified bond diamond wheels are abrasive grinding wheels where diamond grains are held in a vitrified (ceramic/glass) matrix created by high-temperature sintering. This bond type gives the wheel rigidity, thermal stability, and precision form retention, making it excellent for precision grinding of hard, brittle materials.
- Bond Type: Vitrified (ceramic/glass) – strong and rigid
- Abrasive: Diamond (superabrasive)
- Porosity: Moderate (helps coolant flow and prevents loading)
- Common Shapes:: Flat (1A1), cup (6A2, 12A2), peripheral, internal possible
Key Features & Benefits
- High Precision Grinding
- Excellent for PCD/PCBN tool grinding, carbide, ceramics, glass, silicon & sapphire wafers
- Maintains shape well during high-speed grinding
- Applications
- Precision grinding in semiconductors, optics, automotive parts
- CNC tool grinding (PCD, carbide)
- Hard & brittle material finishing (ceramics, glass)
