Superabrasives and Diamond Wheels

Superabrasives and diamond wheels include grinding wheels, abrasive saw blades, wheel dressers, single-point tools, and other products that use diamond or cubic boron nitride (CBM) abrasive grains. Diamond is a superabrasive grain with the highest known hardness and a cubic crystal structure. Typically, diamond superabrasives and diamond wheels are used for grinding nonferrous metals, ceramics, glass, stone, and building materials. Cubic boron nitride (CBN), another superabrasive grain, is second only to diamond in terms of hardness. CBN superabrasives have a cubic crystal structure and provide superior grinding performance on carbon and alloy steel. Superabrasives and diamond wheels with metal-clad abrasive grains are also available.
