In the realm of industrial manufacturing, the performance of diamond grinding wheels plays a crucial role in the efficiency and precision of heavy - duty grinding processes. This article delves into the latest industry research on the selection of brazing metal interlayer materials and the control of heating rates, and analyzes their core impact on the performance of diamond grinding wheels.
The choice of brazing metal interlayer material significantly affects the performance of diamond grinding wheels. Different materials have distinct characteristics. For example, common nickel - based alloys have good wettability with diamonds and can form a relatively strong metallurgical bond. In some real - world factory applications, when nickel - based alloys are used as the brazing interlayer, the firmness of diamond particles on the grinding wheel can be increased by about 30% compared to using some ordinary brazing materials.
Copper - based alloys, on the other hand, offer relatively low melting points, which can reduce the thermal damage to diamonds during the brazing process. In a specific case, with copper - based alloy interlayers, the thermal damage rate of diamonds decreased from 20% to around 10%, thus enhancing the overall performance of the grinding wheels.
Scientific optimization of the heating rate and cooling system is vital for improving the firmness and impact resistance of diamond particles. Research shows that a controlled slow - heating process can effectively reduce internal stress within the brazing joint. When the heating rate is controlled at about 5 - 10°C per minute, the impact resistance of the diamond particles on the grinding wheel can be improved by approximately 25%.
Proper cooling is also essential. A well - designed cooling rate can prevent the formation of cracks within the brazing area. In actual factory operations, a cooling rate of about 10 - 15°C per minute has been proven to be very effective in maintaining the integrity of the brazing joint and improving the durability of the grinding wheel.
Let's take a factory as an example. By applying the latest research results in brazing metal interlayer materials selection and heating rate control, this factory has significantly extended the service life of its diamond grinding wheels. Previously, the average service life of their grinding wheels was about 50 hours, but after using high - quality brazing processes, this figure increased to over 80 hours, a remarkable 60% improvement.
Moreover, the unit cost has been reduced. The original cost per hour of use was about $10, and after the process improvement, it dropped to around $7, a 30% cost reduction, which directly enhances the competitiveness of the company in the market.
To ensure the long - term effective use of grinding wheels, proper maintenance is required. Regular dressing of the grinding wheel can restore its sharpness. For example, dressing the grinding wheel every 20 hours of use can keep its grinding efficiency at over 90%.
Cleaning and proper storage are also important. Keeping the grinding wheel in an environment with a temperature of 20 - 25°C and a relative humidity of 40 - 60% can prevent rust and other damages, further extending its service life.
