Grinding Wheel Bodies

The body of a grinding wheel provides the static and dynamic stiffness to the tool. Dependent on the kind of grinding layer,

it may consist of aluminium, filled resin, brass, steel or ceramics. The body significantly influences the vibration behaviour

and the thermal conductivity of the grinding wheel; the following table shows examples for super abrasive grinding wheel bodies.

 

Body material type            Label   Vibration Absorbtion  Heat Transmission  Mechanical Stiffness

Resin with metal fillers         H         medium                                sufficient                    good

Aluminium                             A           bad                                        good                      very good

Steel                                         E           bad                                   satisfactory               very good

Copper                                    C           bad                                     very good                  very good

Composite material             CFK         good                                      bad                             good
