Boost Cermets Machining Efficiency with Cast Grind Solutions’ Centerless Grinding Wheels
Cermets (ceramic-metal) are composite materials made from metals (or alloys) combined with ceramic materials through specific processes. These composites combine the beneficial properties of both metals and ceramics, resulting in low density, high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and good thermal conductivity.
Cermet (ceramic metal) does not become brittle when subjected to rapid heating or cooling. Furthermore, applying a ceramic coat with good hermeticity, high melting point, and poor heat conduction on metal surfaces can prevent metals or alloys from oxidizing or corroding at high temperatures.
Ceramic metallic(cermet) exhibit the toughness, high thermal conductivity, and thermal stability of metals, alongside the high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of ceramics. Their hardness can reach HRC80-92, and they possess extremely high compressive strength of 6000MPa (600kg.N/mm). These features make Cermet (ceramic-metal) widely applicable in cutting tools, wear-resistant parts, and high-temperature structural materials. Especially in conditions requiring high temperatures, high pressures, and high-speed friction, metal-ceramics outperform traditional materials.
However, these superior properties of Cermets (ceramic-metal) also pose significant challenges in machining. Due to their high hardness and toughness, traditional grinding methods often fail to achieve the desired machining results. Cast Grind Solutions has developed a specialized centerless grinding wheel tailored for metal ceramic processing to address this issue. This grinding wheel, produced using advanced manufacturing techniques and high-quality materials, ensures high efficiency, precision, and excellent dimensional consistency when grinding metal ceramics.
