Vitrified bonded tools

Layers of diamond particles in a resin, metal or vitrified bonded tool... 

Dressing of diamond wheels with diamond dressing tools is stiU limited. A more common method is the use of vitrified bonded silicon carbide rollers either on brake-controlled truing devices or on driven truing spindles (Wegener et al. 2011). During this dressing procedure,... 

The essential function of the bonding system is to hold the abrasive grains on the grinding tool as long as they are sharp, and to release them when they are blunt. The major bond systems are metal-, resin-, and vitrified bonding (Konig and Klocke 2005). 

ELID grinding is more stable than conventional grinding from the removal rate value viewpoint. Material removal rates of 250 mm /min up to 8000 mm /min were reported. The chip thickness is of an order of 1-10 nm. Stock removal rate increases with the increase in the number of passes, stiffness of machine tool, and larger grit sizes of the wheels. Cast-iron-bonded wheels have a larger stock removal rate yet a lower grinding force as compared to a vitrified bonded grinding wheel.
