Grinding wheel is an indispensable tool for grinding. The selection of grinding wheel is an important condition affecting grinding quality and grinding cost. The company produces a series of surface grinding machines, which need to be equipped with different grinding wheels to adapt to the surface processing of various workpieces. In order to facilitate the selection of users and designers and technicians of our company, this paper summarizes the selection of grinding wheels of surface grinder and commonly used grinding wheels of different workpiece materials.

There are many kinds of grinding wheels with various shapes and sizes. Due to the different abrasives, binder materials and manufacturing processes of grinding wheels, all kinds of grinding wheels have different working properties. Each kind of grinding wheel has a certain scope of application according to its own characteristics. Therefore, during grinding, appropriate grinding wheel must be selected according to specific conditions (such as material properties, heat treatment method, workpiece shape, size, machining form and technical requirements of the workpiece). Otherwise, the improper selection of grinding wheel will directly affect the machining accuracy, surface roughness and production efficiency.
