Advanced Superabrasives, Inc.’s (ASI) Vitrified diamond and CBN grinding wheels are manufactured to create higher levels of porosity.
This provides our grinding wheels the ability to withstand great forces of pressure without distortion, and to attain high stock removal rates. It also helps to carry coolant to the grind zone which reduces the risk of thermal heat transfer, which can cause damage to the products and make holding tight tolerances a challenge.
ASI’s Vitrified grinding wheels are an ideal choice for ball screw grinding, grinding of cast iron or steel parts such as injection nozzles, compressor blades and vanes, PCD and PCBN tool and insert grinding, plus OD grinding of automotive and aerospace industry parts.
Usage Applications:
ASI’s Vitrified Diamond & CBN Grinding wheels can be utilized in numerous grinding applications. These include but are not limited to:
- Medical Device and Instrument Manufacturing
- PCD & PCBN Tool Grinding
- Ball Screw Grinding
- Cam & Crankshaft Grinding
