In the field of stainless steel mechanical parts processing, the material characteristics of high toughness and poor thermal conductivity have always been the core pain points restricting grinding efficiency, surface precision and grinding wheel durability. Recently, with our customized resin CBN grinding wheel solution, we have successfully solved the processing problems of stainless steel mechanical parts for customers, realized the triple optimization of grinding efficiency, surface finish and grinding wheel wear, and gained high recognition from customers.
The customer in this cooperation focuses on the production of stainless steel mechanical parts. In the processing process, they are in urgent need of a standard grinding wheel that meets their production needs. The specific requirements and core demands are clear:
– Grinding Wheel Specification: It shall comply with the standard of 12A2 100-27-35-10-5, with a grit size requirement of 80#, which is compatible with the customer’s existing processing equipment without additional adjustment of production processes;
– Core Demand: The primary goal is to achieve the two-way balance between grinding efficiency and part surface finish, while strictly controlling the grinding wheel wear rate and reducing the long-term production consumable cost;
Working Condition Requirements: It is suitable for the processing scenario of stainless steel mechanical parts, can effectively avoid the processing problems caused by material characteristics, and ensure the stability and consistency of mass production.
The material characteristics of stainless steel mechanical parts bring many challenges to grinding processing, which are also the main difficulties faced by the customer before:
Stainless steel has extremely high toughness and poor thermal conductivity. A lot of high temperature is easy to generate during grinding, which further causes tool sticking and chip adhesion, directly leading to scratches and defects on the part surface, which cannot meet the precision requirements; if ordinary abrasive grinding wheels are selected, not only the grinding efficiency is extremely low, which is difficult to meet the needs of mass production, but also the grinding wheel wears very fast, requiring frequent replacement, which greatly increases the production consumable cost and shutdown loss.
Even if conventional resin CBN grinding wheels are used, although they can cope with the hardness of stainless steel to a certain extent and improve grinding efficiency, under high-temperature grinding conditions, the affinity between CBN abrasive and stainless steel is strong, which is very easy to cause abrasive particle clogging, thereby affecting the part processing precision. It is impossible to achieve the balance of “efficiency, smoothness and durability”, which is different from the customer’s core demands.
Based on this, our technical team combined with the customer’s specific working conditions and needs, specially optimized the formula and structure of the resin CBN grinding wheel, focusing on solving the three core problems of high-temperature chip adhesion, abrasive particle clogging and excessive grinding wheel wear, so as to achieve precise matching between working conditions and grinding wheels.
The customized resin CBN grinding wheel (specification: 12A2 100-27-35-10-5, grit size: 80#) for customer needs has been verified by the customer’s mass trial production. All performances have met or even exceeded the customer’s expectations, perfectly solving the previous processing difficulties:
– Complete Solution to Clogging and Chip Adhesion: During the whole trial production process, there was no obvious clogging or chip adhesion of the grinding wheel. The grinding process was smooth and stable, without frequent shutdown to clean the grinding wheel, which effectively reduced the shutdown loss and ensured the continuity of mass production;
– Greatly Improved Grinding Efficiency: Compared with the ordinary abrasive grinding wheel used by the customer before, the grinding efficiency of this resin CBN grinding wheel is increased by 40%, which greatly shortens the processing cycle of a single part and helps the customer improve the mass production capacity;
– Qualified and Stable Processing Precision: According to actual measurement, the surface roughness of the processed stainless steel mechanical parts reaches Ra0.8μm, the surface is flat and smooth, without scratches and defects, which fully meets the customer’s precision requirements for part surface finish, and the part precision consistency is excellent in mass production;
– Significantly Optimized Grinding Wheel Durability: The grinding wheel
wear rate is effectively controlled, and its service life is extended to 3 times that of the original ordinary grinding wheel, which greatly reduces the frequency of grinding wheel replacement, lowers the consumable purchase cost and the labor cost of replacing the grinding wheel, and realizes cost reduction and efficiency increase for the customer.
In this cooperation, by deeply analyzing the customer’s working condition pain points and core demands, our company successfully achieved the triple breakthrough of “grinding efficiency, surface finish and grinding wheel durability” in stainless steel mechanical parts processing with the customized resin CBN grinding wheel solution. It not only solved the previous processing problems faced by the customer, but also helped the customer reduce the long-term production cost and improve the production competitiveness.
This case fully verifies the comprehensive adaptability and advantages of our resin CBN grinding wheel in the processing condition of stainless steel mechanical parts. Whether it is standard specifications or customized needs, we can provide customers with efficient, stable and economical grinding solutions relying on professional technical strength, helping customers in various industries solve processing pain points and achieve cost reduction, efficiency increase, quality improvement and upgrading.
