Case study
In the aerospace manufacturing industry, stringent requirements for high strength, precision, and tool longevity demand advanced grinding solutions. This case study presents real-world performance data from a leading aircraft component manufacturer using 150mm brazed diamond grinding wheels to process titanium alloy blades. The analysis highlights how the combination of a precision-machined substrate and high-tech brazing technology delivers up to 3x longer tool life compared to conventional abrasives—while maintaining superior surface finish (Ra < 0.4 μm) and consistent material removal rates. Customer feedback confirms enhanced reliability under extreme thermal and mechanical loads, validating why aerospace engineers increasingly select brazed diamond tools for critical applications.

Why Aerospace Manufacturers Are Switching to Brazed Diamond Grinding Tools

In the aerospace industry, where precision and reliability are non-negotiable, grinding tools must withstand extreme conditions—high temperatures, abrasive materials like titanium alloys, and long production runs without failure. Traditional abrasives often fall short under these demands, leading to frequent tool changes, inconsistent surface finishes, and increased downtime.

Real-World Performance in a High-Stakes Application

A leading aircraft component manufacturer in Germany recently switched from conventional CBN wheels to our brazed diamond grinding discs (150mm diameter) for machining titanium alloy turbine blades. The results? A 3x increase in tool life—from an average of 45 hours per wheel to over 140 hours—and a consistent Ra value of 0.4 μm across all batches, meeting ISO 10791-7 standards.

“We tested three different suppliers’ tools under identical conditions. Only yours delivered stable performance after 100+ hours. This isn’t just about cost—it’s about predictability.”
—— Dr. Lena Müller, Process Engineering Lead at AeroTech Solutions GmbH

How Our Design Solves Real Pain Points

Our proprietary design combines a high-strength steel core with a precision-engineered brazing layer using silver-copper-tin alloy. Unlike sintered or electroplated diamonds, this method ensures no delamination during high-speed grinding (>35 m/s), even when processing hardened stainless steel or Inconel 718.

Tool Type Avg. Life (Hours) Surface Finish (Ra, μm) Cost per Part ($)
Conventional CBN Wheel 45 0.8–1.2 $0.18
Our Brazed Diamond Tool 140+ 0.3–0.6 $0.11

Not all grinders are built for aerospace-grade rigor. While many suppliers offer "diamond tools," few can match the thermal stability and edge retention we deliver through our patented brazing process—a key reason why global OEMs now specify our products in their procurement guidelines.
