DIAMOND ABRASIVE GRAINS

Diamond wheels are used in grinding carbide, ceramics, alumina, quartz, plasma sprays, composites, and many other dense materials.  Natural Diamonds being the first super abrasives used had limited success because of the thermal damage that would occur at 1300F. Today’s Synthetic Diamonds can be Copper-coated, Nickel-coated, or UN-coated in multiple sizes and shapes.  In most applications Synthetic and Natural Diamonds should be used with a synthetic coolant rather than dry

CUBIC BORON NITRIDE (CBN) ABRASIVE GRAINS

CBN wheels are used in grinding Tool Steels, Hardened Alloy Steels, and Super alloys such as Inconel, Hastalloy, Waspalloy, and Rene 41.  CBN is a second in hardness to Diamond and will withstand temperatures of 2500F.  CBN can be coated or uncoated, a micro or mono structure along with a variety of shapes and mesh sizes.   In most situations CBN should be used with coolant oil or water soluble oil.
