1. Sorts of Bond and Properties
1) Metal Bond(symbol M)
The metal bond is manufactured by mixing the metal power such as iron, bronze, tungsten, and cobalt, etc. with super-abrasive
(Diamond, CBN) and sintering it.
* Properties
- High Grinding Ratio
- Excellent in Form-maintaining ability
- Excellent in Bond’s Toughness, Abrasivity-Resistance, and thermal resistance
- It requires high grinding power.
- Easy occurrence of clogging and brittleness because of its excellent coherent power of abrasive grain
2) Resin Bond (symbol B)
It is manufactured by mixing synthetic resin (phenol series, polyimide series) and filler with abrasive grain.
* Properties
- Excellent in Free-Cutting Ability
- It can create excellent processing surface and high grinding performance due to plenty of elasticity.
- Wide Applications
- It’s available to use it even by low grinding power.
3) Vitrified Bond (symbol V)
It’s a fragile bond manufacture by using vitric binding agents, and it is more excellent in coherence than resin bond;
in addition, it can regulate solidity and chip-discharging performance by giving change to porosity.
* Properties
- It has a very excellent abrasivity-resistance
- It has an excellent form-maintaining ability
- It’s easy for truing and dressing.
- It has a wide range of surface roughness.
- It creates less clogging and heat release.
