Silicon Carbide Grinding Wheel

Silicon Carbide grinding wheel is a great choice for a variety of grinding applications. Silicon carbide grinding wheel features a cup-like design that is ideal for wet and dry operations. This type of grinding wheel possesses a high degree of grindability and retains its shape better than other types of wheels.

Hardness

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a synthetic compound of carbon and silicon. It has a hardness of nine on the Mohs scale. It has been used since the late 19th century for sandpapers and grinding wheels. Its other uses include refractory linings in industrial furnaces, wear-resistant parts of pumps and motors, semiconductor substrates for light-emitter diodes, and rocket engines.

When it comes to choosing a grinding wheel, you should consider the hardness of the material you need to grind. Different materials have different hardness requirements, and different wheels have different hardness ratings. The harder the material, the more difficult it will be to grind it.

Grindability

There are several factors to consider when choosing a grinding wheel, including the material being ground and the abrasive type. Aluminum oxide and silicon carbide are both ideal for metal grinding, but they can be less effective on non-metals. Aluminum oxide is more durable and produces a fast initial cut, but it also dulls over time. Silicon carbide, on the other hand, is hard, fast, and provides consistent performance, although it is not as tough or durable as other grains.

Friability is the ease with which abrasive materials can be pulverized or fractured. The design of a grinding wheel takes this into account, but the actual friability will depend on the nature of the material to be ground. For example, diamond is the hardest known material and is more prone to fracturing or pulverizing than silicon carbide, but it is less effective on nonmetallic materials than silicon carbide.

Grit size

The grit size of a Silicon carbide grinding wheel is determined by two factors. The first is the type of bond between the abrasive grains. This is referred to as the "structure." The second is the "process" of the wheel. The third determines whether the wheel is zoned or graded. The fourth is the "grit size" of the wheel.

Silicon carbide grinding wheels are generally used for general-purpose grinding procedures. They are generally 8'' diameter by 1-1/2" wide and are fitted with bushings. You can purchase them in a grit size of 100.

Application

Silicon carbide grinding wheels are used for a variety of grinding applications. Generally, they are used for hard-to-grind materials, such as high-strength steels and alloys. They can also be bonded to abrasive materials such as resin and rubber. Some of these types are also available as custom-made products. These wheels are best used in tool rooms for high-quality surface finishes within precision tolerance limits. They are also useful for cutting non-metallic materials. However, the amount of penetration depends on the material to be ground. For hard materials, a finer-grit wheel is necessary, while for soft materials, a medium to coarse-grit wheel is ideal. As such, it is important to select the proper abrasive grade for the material to be ground.

A silicon carbide grinding wheel consists of a grain of silicon carbide that has been mixed with a ceramic resin or other abrasive. The composition of this alloy should be at least 80% silicon carbide. This will ensure a durable and smooth wheel. The abrasive material should also be hardened to avoid premature wear of the wheel.
