Comprehensive Guide to Selecting Brazed Diamond Abrasives for Carbide: Boost Processing Efficiency and Tool Lifespan

Selection Core: Starting from Material Characteristics

When it comes to precision grinding of difficult - to - machine materials such as gray iron, ductile iron, stainless steel, glass, and ceramics, understanding the material characteristics is the key to selecting the right brazed diamond grinding tools. Each material has unique hardness, brittleness, and thermal conductivity.

For example, gray iron has relatively low hardness and good thermal conductivity, while ceramics are extremely hard and brittle. These characteristics significantly affect the wear mechanism and cutting stability of the grinding tools. The following table shows the main characteristics of different materials:

Parameter Matching Strategy: Combining Size, Shape, and Wear - Resistance Grade

Diameter Range

The diameter range of 100 - 180mm corresponds to different workpiece sizes and machine tool load capacities. For smaller workpieces and lighter - duty machines, a smaller diameter grinding tool (e.g., 100mm) is more suitable. Larger workpieces and heavier - duty machines require larger diameter tools (e.g., 180mm) to ensure efficient grinding.

Plane vs. Curved Surface Design

Plane - designed grinding tools are ideal for high - precision planar grinding, ensuring flat and smooth surfaces. Curved surface grinding tools, on the other hand, are used for complex contour forming. You can choose the appropriate design according to your specific workpiece requirements. Try to think about what type of workpiece you have and which design would be more suitable?

Wear - Resistance Grade Selection

For low - speed rough grinding, high - concentration diamond tools are recommended to ensure high removal rates. For high - speed precision grinding, you need to balance heat dissipation and sharpness. The following table shows the general selection rules:

Visual Inspection for Tool Failure

You can visually inspect the grinding tool to determine if it has failed. Signs of failure include excessive wear, chipping, or loss of diamond particles. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to replace the tool.

Diamond Concentration Selection Based on Cutting Speed

At different cutting speeds, different diamond concentrations are required. For example, at low cutting speeds (e.g., 20 - 30 m/s), a higher diamond concentration can ensure better cutting performance. At high cutting speeds (e.g., 50 - 60 m/s), a medium - high diamond concentration is more appropriate to balance heat generation and cutting efficiency.

Measurement Standards and Tolerance Control

To ensure consistency and safety, you need to pay attention to measurement standards and tolerance control. For example, the diameter tolerance of the grinding tool should be within ±0.05mm, and the flatness tolerance of the grinding surface should be within ±0.02mm.

Industrial Value Extension: The Underlying Logic of Cost - Reduction and Efficiency - Enhancement

Selecting the wrong grinding tool can lead to hidden costs, such as machine downtime, increased scrap rate, and frequent tool replacement. On the other hand, choosing the right tool can bring comprehensive benefits, including improved production rhythm, reduced equipment maintenance, and safer operator work. For example, a customer in the automotive manufacturing industry used to have a high scrap rate due to improper tool selection. After using the brazed diamond grinding tools recommended by Youde Superhard Tools, the scrap rate was reduced by 30%, and the production efficiency was increased by 20%.
