Grinding of brittle materials with brazed diamond grinding wheel

Brazed diamond grinding tool is the most promising tool, which is fitter for powerful and high-efficiency grinding and may be the substitute of plated one in the future. But the research of the tool on brittle material grinding is still few. In the paper, it has been proved that the tool can achieve much better surface quality than any other tools, though large grit size is used in the tool fabrication. Analysis shows that most brittle material surface quality can be improved with the decrease of depth of cut of single grit, but they cannot be improved further because of some unavoidable surface defects.
