Norton Saint-Gobain Abrasives has introduced its high-performance Norton Ideal-Prime Internal Diameter Grinding Wheels for precision applications. The wheels feature Norton’s Quantum Prime nano-crystalline ceramic grain, embedded in a matrix of Norton Vitrium3 bond. The combination of the micro-fracture properties of the ceramic grain and the retention capability of the bond promotes long wheel life, improved grinding efficiency and consistent part quality with high-quality finish — resulting in 30% cost savings.
The self-sharpening grain technology increases the material removal rate and decreases the need for dressing — lowering cycle times and cost per part. Norton’s Quantum Prime grain technology also improves sharpness and cutting efficiency to reduce spindle power requirements, minimize mechanical stress and improve part geometry.
The grain micro-structure enables cooler cuts and maintains more stable wheel profiles and shapes, lengthening wheel life. Norton’s Vitrium3 bond technology also improves part surface finish.
“For customers demanding exceptional material removal rates in the highest tolerance precision applications, we are pleased to offer Norton Ideal-Prime Wheels,” says Kelly Pica, senior product manager for Norton Saint-Gobain Abrasives. “The combination of the innovative grain and advanced bond technology in our internal diameter grinding wheels provides an aggressive, free-cutting grinding solution with high productivity at a lower cost per part.”
Norton recommends its Ideal-Prime Internal Diameter Grinding Wheels for a range of applications including bearings, automotive, general engineering and gears. These wheels are available in grits ranging from 46 to 150, in grades from G to Q and in structures from 6 to 10.
