GRINDING WHEEL: How Workpiece Material and Surface Finish Affect Wheel Selection
Two questions have a major influence on GRINDING WHEEL selection:
What material is being ground?
and
What finish is required?
Start With Workpiece Material
Different engineering materials behave differently during grinding.
The abrasive specification should therefore be selected with the workpiece in mind.
Vermaent's current page identifies materials such as hardened steel, cast iron, alloy steel and stainless steel among the materials considered in grinding-wheel applications. (vermaent.com)
Then Consider Material Removal
A wheel used for relatively aggressive stock removal has a different job from one used for fine finishing.
Grit size is one factor that affects this behaviour.
Generally:
Coarser grit = greater stock removal
Finer grit = smoother finish
Contact Area Also Matters
The way the wheel touches the workpiece changes between applications.
For example:
-
cylindrical grinding involves an external round surface,
-
crankshaft grinding focuses on journals and pins,
-
valve grinding involves relatively small specialised surfaces,
-
and roll grinding can involve much larger contact areas.
Machine Specifications Cannot Be Ignored
Wheel diameter, width, bore and permissible operating conditions must match the grinding machine.
Vermaent specifically recommends considering machine compatibility alongside material, application, grit, bond and wheel size. (vermaent.com)
Application Comes Before Product Name
Instead of asking:
Which grinding wheel is best?
Ask:
Which wheel specification matches this material, machine and required finish?
That creates a much more useful selection process.
Conclusion
A grinding wheel performs as part of a complete system involving the abrasive, machine, workpiece and operator.
Understanding material and finish requirements is therefore an important first step.
