Electroplated CBN ID Grinding Wheels Unmounted

CBN ID Grinding Wheels are precision tools used for internal grinding applications, especially when machining hardened steels, superalloys, and other hard-to-grind materials.

 What They Are

• CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride): A superabrasive second only to diamond in hardness, but thermally and chemically stable when grinding ferrous materials.

• Electroplated Bond: CBN grains are bonded to the wheel core in a single layer using a nickel plating process. This gives sharp, exposed cutting edges.

• ID (Internal Diameter) Grinding Wheels: Specifically designed for inside hole, bore, and cavity grinding where conventional wheels cannot reach.

 Key Features

• High Cutting Efficiency: Exposed CBN grains cut aggressively with minimal heat generation.

• Excellent Form Holding: Ideal for tight-tolerance internal grinding.

• Single-Layer Design: Provides a free-cutting action, though tool life is shorter than in metal or vitrified bond wheels.

• Custom Shapes Available: Typically small-diameter wheels, often with shanks, mandrels, or mounted designs.

 Typical Applications

• Precision grinding of:

  • Bearing races

  • Fuel injection components

  • Hydraulic sleeves and valves

  • Aerospace engine parts

  • Hardened tool steels & HSS

• Used in industries like automotive, aerospace, medical, and tool manufacturing.
