[Issues in grinding difficult-to-cut materials]

Alumina and silicon nitride are representative materials of fine ceramics and are widely used in industrial machine parts due to their high hardness and excellent wear resistance. There is a need for tools that can grind these hard and difficult-to-cut materials with high efficiency in a short time while maintaining their cutting performance.
 

[Solution with metal bond wheel]

Compared to resin bond wheels, metal bond wheels have a higher abrasive grain retention and a longer service life. However, when grinding difficult-to-cut materials, the grinding capacity of conventional bond wheels is insufficient due to abrasive grain wear and shedding. Our Metarex wheels have an excellent self-dressing effect because the special bonding agent falls off at the same time as the abrasive grains fall off, resulting in durable grindability and efficient processing.

In addition to ceramics, this wheel is effective for high-efficiency machining of crystal, quartz, cemented carbide, etc.
