What grinding wheel is suitable for M42 material of HRC 50-60?

Introduction

Many people ask me what grinding wheel is suitable for M42 material of HRC 50-60. The answer is: Resin bond CBN grinding wheel, vitrified CBN grinding wheel or metal bond CBN grinding wheel can be used to grind M42 materials of HRC 50-60.

Best Answer

Hi-Bond CBN grinding wheel is recommended for grinding M42 material of hardness 50-60 HRC. The wheel has proven its best performance in grinding these materials in its class.

There are many types of Hi-Bond CBN grinding wheels, but we generally recommend that you choose the one with a 50 grit or higher fineness index (FI). This will make it easier to get a smooth finish on your workpiece.

Electroplated Cbn Wheel.

If you are looking for a cost-effective, high performance materials grinding wheel for M42 material of HRC 50-60, then the electroplated cbn wheel is a good choice. The electroplated cbn wheel has proven its best performance in grinding these materials in its class.

It's very cost effective. But also depend on the wheel parameter and your machine condition.

But also depend on the wheel parameter and your machine condition.

If you want to grind M42 material with HRC 50-60 high hardness, the grinding wheel will be too expensive. It's very cost effective. But also depend on the wheel parameter and your machine condition. If you have a low hardness steel or not so hard material, it's better for you to use common grinding wheels like P80 or P100 which are widely used in metalworking industry nowadays because of good sharpness and wear resistance quality with reasonable price tag attached to it as well as its long service life, which means that it can work effectively under all conditions without any wear out problem so far!

Hi-Bond CBN grinding wheels are recommended for use in machining M42 materials, which have a hardness rating of 50-60 HRC.

More Infos.

• This wheel is used for grinding M42 materials such as tool steel, HSS, stainless steel and cast iron.
• It's a high-performance CBN grinding wheel for aggressive material removal and good edge retention. It's recommended for hard steels with HRC 50-60, but also works well on non-ferrous materials such as brass, aluminum and copper.
• The grain size of the CBN on this grinding wheel is 1 micron; this makes it suitable for roughing operations before finishing off with a finer grit size (e.g., 0.5 microns).

What grinding wheel is suitable for M42 material of HRC 50-60?

For grinding M42 materials with hardness 50-60 HRC, HI-BOND CBN grinding wheel is recommended. The wheel has proven its best performance in grinding these materials in its class.

Black silicon carbide and green silicon carbide are harder and more brittle than corundum. Do not use these abrasives on your grinding wheels, as they will break easily.

The hardness of silicon carbide is 7.5-8.0 and the brittleness is high, so it will break your grinding wheel easily if you use black and green silicon carbide as abrasive.

Abrasives are divided into two types: one is mineral abrasives, such as corundum and diamond; the other one is synthetic abrasives, such as black silicon carbide and green silicon carbide.

You can choose resin bond CBN grinding wheel, vitrified CBN grinding wheel and metal bond CBN grinding wheel.

You can choose resin bond CBN grinding wheel, vitrified CBN grinding wheel and metal bond CBN grinding wheel.

• Resin bond CBN grinding wheel: It is made of high quality material and has good performance such as high hardness, low thermal expansion coefficient, little wear resistance etc. But the price is relatively expensive. So we recommend you to use this type of grinder when you are in need of long life or low cost.
• Vitrified CBN grinding wheel: This type of stone is mainly used for surface roughness polishing and also can be used for cutting steel because it has higher hardness than M42 material (HRC 50-60). You can choose it if you want a high efficiency with reasonable price but don’t want to spend too much on the grinder tooling costs since vitrified CBN wheels are more economical than resin bonded ones; therefore they will have better cost effectiveness if they have similar performance.
• Metal Bonded Grinding Wheel：Metal bonded stones possess self-sharpening ability like diamond tools which means that they provide better longevity than other kinds of stones when used at low speeds due to its ability to keep cutting edges sharper longer without chipping or cracking them so that you do not need frequent replacement after using them for some time period even though they have higher initial cost comparing with other types if we consider about their lifetime durability value over time period (i.e., there are less maintenance costs).

You can choose a resin-bond CBN, vitrified bond CBN, or metal bond CBN grinding wheel to grind M42 materials of HRC 50–60.

There are three types of CBN grinding wheel, which are resin bond CBN grinding wheel, vitrified CBN grinding wheel and metal bond CBN grinding wheel.

The main difference between them is how they are bonded to the substrates. Resin bond is weak in abrasive strength and not suitable for heavy-duty applications such as hard materials such as M42 material. Vitrified CBN grinding wheel has low abrasive strength but high hardness and wear resistance when used with M42 material because the bonding layer is made of pure fused alumina (Al2O3). Metal bond can be welded directly onto the base substrate with a thin layer of pure fused alumina (Al2O3) or diamond aggregates to achieve high hardness and wear resistance at high speed machining in low-temperature working environment (lubricated by oil or water).
