Product & engineering
Understand the product.
A grinding wheel is a wheel composed of an abrasive compound and used for various grinding (abrasive cutting) and abrasive machining operations. Such wheels are used in grinding machines.
The wheels are generally made from a composite material consisting of coarse-particle aggregate pressed and bonded together by a cementing matrix (called the bond in grinding wheel terminology) to form a solid, circular shape. Various profiles and cross sections are available depending on the intended usage for the wheel. They may also be made from a solid steel or aluminium disc with particles bonded to the surface. Today most grinding wheels are artificial composites made with artificial aggregates, but the history of grinding wheels began with natural composite stones, such as those used for millstones.
The Grinding Wheels industry can be broken down into several segments, Resinoid Bond Grinding Wheels, Vitrified Bond Grinding Wheels, Other, etc.
Across the world, the major players cover Klingspor, 3M, Mirka, Noritake, Saint-Gobain, Kure Grinding Wheel (JP), Camel Grinding Wheels (Israel), Tyrolit Group, SHIN-EI Grinding Wheels (JP), DSA Products (England), etc.
