What Are CBN Wheels?
Cubic boron nitride (CBN) wheels are extremely hard grinding wheels made by sintering CBN abrasives.
They are mainly suitable for processing hard materials such as iron and stainless steel. CBN abrasives have extremely high hardness and are resistant to deformation even at high temperatures. The operating principle is similar to that of conventional grinding wheels, where CBN abrasives come into contact with the workpiece and perform grinding. These wheels are widely used in machining, tool manufacturing, and gemstone processing.
CBN wheels facilitate the efficient processing of hard materials and sustain stable performance even in high-temperature environments. When using CBN wheels, it’s important to use appropriate grinding conditions. Additionally, regular inspection and replacement are necessary to address wear and damage to CBN abrasives and the base material.
