Application of Century45 in Centerless Grinding Technology

In the barstock processing, there is no doubt that centerless grinding is a suitable choice for optimal machining roundness, size tolerance and surface polishing. For effective and economic manufacturing parts and components in close tolerance range, through centerless grinding is particularly important.

In view of this, Saint-gobain launched Norton Century45 high performance grinding wheel in earlier time, which greatly enhances the cost competition. Century45 composed of composite materials such as ceramic, alumina, silicon carbide, etc. is widely used for a variety of barstock processing and grinding, such as carbon steel, aluminum, cast iron, 300/400 series of stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloy (inconel), copper, etc.

Century45 uses B45 type ceramic binder, whose processing efficiency is high and cutting quantity is big. It has more advantages than traditional grinding wheels; In the case of some processing cases, Century45 even has twice the efficiency of traditional grinding wheel. When removing the same amount of materials, grinding wheel revolutions are reduced, which means to shorten the cycle time and improve the production efficiency.

The binder of Norton Century45 uses a unique chemical composition, which greatly improves and enhances the holding force of abrasive grains. The technology can help to design high hardness porous wheel, which can improve not only the holding force and hardness of grinding wheel abrasives, and the soft performance of grinding wheel.

In addition to working efficiency, Norton Century45 also improves the durability of grinding wheel. Its service life is twice of standard grinding wheel. The replacing times of grinding wheel are reduced, and the downtime is also reduced; Grinding wheel inventory is reduced, and the production cost is also reduced; The productivity is improved in the end.
