Metal bond

Metal bond (code M)

Metallic bonds are formed from compounds of various metal powders such as Cobalt, Copper, Brass, Iron, Tin, Nickel, Tungsten, Silver, and so on. Through the powder metallurgical method, metal bonded wheels are produced, which are recognized for excellent form-holding capabilities, high wear resistance, and strength in structure. They are suitably used in such fields of industry as requiring high productivity with longer life of wheel for brittle materials (Glass, Ferrite, Si, Ge,& Ceramics), high form retention for the plunge, profile grinding & NC grinding machines, and conductivity for electrolytic grinding.

Furthermore, metal bond wheels are useful in the honing operation for ceramic and cast iron under low rpm because of their high wear resistance.

Metal bond diamond grinding wheels are specialized tools used for the precision grinding of hard and brittle materials such as glass, ceramics, and certain types of metals. These grinding wheels are made by mixing diamond abrasive particles with metal powders such as cobalt, copper, or nickel, which are then sintered under high heat and pressure to form a solid, durable bond.

The metal bond in these grinding wheels provides high grinding performance and long tool life, making them suitable for applications that require high accuracy and surface finish. The diamond abrasive particles provide high grinding efficiency and precision, enabling these grinding wheels to achieve extremely fine surface finishes.

Metal bond diamond grinding wheels are used in a variety of applications, including:

1. Semiconductor industry – for grinding and polishing of wafers
2. Optics industry – for shaping and polishing of lenses and mirrors
3. Precision engineering – for grinding and finishing of tools and dies
4. Aerospace industry – for grinding and finishing of turbine blades and other high-precision components

One of the advantages of using metal bond diamond grinding wheels is that they offer high precision and excellent performance over long periods of use. They also tend to have a longer lifespan than other types of grinding wheels, making them a cost-effective choice for certain applications.

However, metal bond diamond grinding wheels can be more expensive than other types of grinding wheels, and they may require a higher level of skill to use effectively. Additionally, they are not suitable for all types of grinding applications and may not be the best choice for softer materials.
