In the contemporary competitive manufacturing world where profit is the most important a percentage of profit saved in the manufacturing process will directly translate to the bottom line. The choice of a grinding wheel is not a frivolous issue, though, it is a very important choice that defines the efficiency, tool life, and the general cost of operation. The most common argument is the usage of out dated Aluminum Oxide wheels and application of new technological Superabrasive metals like Diamond and Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN). A right decision can save 30 to 50 percent of the costs in the case of businesses machining hard or abrasive materials. Let’s explore how.
Knowledge The Difference of Core Technology
Aluminum Oxide grinding wheels: This is a general and traditional use; it is applied when a material undergoing the grinding process is that of carbon steel and alloy steel. They act upon the principle of fracture of abrasive grains which splinter, and which are being exposed to new sharp edges. This self-sharpening action is cost-effective in the short run but will lead to comparatively expensive wear that can be anticipated. The form of the wheel gradually becomes distorted, and, therefore, it must be dressed and changed frequently.
In relative terms, the Zhengzhou Ruizuan Diamond Tool Co., Ltd. core products i.e. Diamond and CBN wheel is the epitome of the superabrasive technology. There are no equivalents of diamond wheels when it comes to the grit of non-ferrous materials, including ceramics, carbide and glass. The CBN wheels are best used on hardened ferrous such as hardened tool steels, die steels and high speed steels. Their excessive rigidity allows the abrasive grains to cut material with minimal wear so that they do not lose their shape and sharpness with much longer periods.
The Real Equation of Cost Saving in Production
The 30 percent low price is not a myth in the marketing arena but an estimated fact in terms of ownership costs. The unnoticeable costs cover up the low cost of an Aluminum Oxide wheel in the near future. The position of continuously changing wheels means production downtime. Constant dressing consumes material of your wheel and work piece. The wear rate also causes gradual dimensional inaccuracy, possibly leading to poor part quality, and high reject.
One of the other tales is of a Diamond or CBN wheel of Zhengzhou Ruizuan. It enjoys a very long lifespan therefore one wheel can live hundreds of years like the traditional wheels. This drastically changes and re-adjusts the wheels to change machine downtimes. The low level of wear also provides constant geometry and dimensional control during the life cycle of the wheel resulting in a better part quality and a high yield. Furthermore, these wheels may facilitate faster feed and take away of stock that significantly boosts the throughput. Divide the savings in the lost time and the, ultimately, consumables that can be saved, the labour savings in the changes, and the increased output, it is frequently feasible to estimate the overall reduction of cost-per-part at more than 30 percent.
Beyond Cost: Enhanced Precision and Surface Integrity
The only thing that can be found useful is pure arithmetic. Diamond and CBN wheels are hard and tough to wear and this implies that they possess high accuracy when grinding. They generate less heat and grinding pressure to minimize thermal damage, micro-cracks and residual stress of the workpiece surface. This causes high metallurgical integrity and finer surface finishes that can eliminate secondary finishing. In high end tooling, bearings or automotive components, such an advantage in quality is invaluable, as well as economic in nature due to reduced scrap and rework.
Making The Strategic Choice For Your Operation
But what is the most economical wheel? In soft and ferrous materials, there will be Aluminum Oxide. However, it is clear that superabrasive is superior where abrasive and hard or precision sensitive materials are concerned.
The trick to the best savings lies in the ideal matching application. It is our business to design the right solution of your material, machine tool and the result that you want at Zhengzhou Ruizuan Diamond Tool Co., Ltd. Not only that we are selling grinding wheels; but that we are also selling solutions in the form of productivity alliances that ought to optimize your grinding process.
An investment of the adequate superabrasive technology is an investment of the smooth production with high quality and high long-term savings. To determine ways that our Diamond and CBN wheels can transform your cost can structure, we would like you to make appointment with our in-house engineers in Zhengzhou Ruizuan Diamond Tool Co., Ltd. to get to have an in-person consultation and grinding test analysis.
