In recent years, the development of vitrified grinding wheels has advanced by leaps and bounds, and both production capacity and market share have continued to double. The trend of replacing resinoid grinding wheels is becoming more and more obvious. What is the reason?
The vitrified grinding wheel was developed in Japan, Europe and the United States at the end of the last century. The difference between it and the resinoid grinding wheel is that the vitrified grinding wheel replaces the resin organic binder with a ceramic inorganic binder. The advantage of the inorganic binder is that the strength and heat resistance are greatly improved. Grinding efficiency and economy have been better improved, and the inorganic binder is more environmentally friendly.
Of course, compared with resinoid grinding wheels with good elasticity, good self-sharpening, and high-speed grinding stability, ceramics still need to be further researched in these aspects.
According to market feedback, vitrified grinding wheels have replaced resinoid grinding wheels in the fields of cemented carbide and magnetic materials. However, resinoid grinding wheels still have their advantages, especially in the field of fine grinding and polishing. In addition, the development of customized application technology combining abrasive and vitrified bond formulations in different fields will be the main direction for the development of grinding companies.
