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
