Grinding Segments

Grinding segments are components that are attached to a grinding machine and used to remove material from a workpiece. They are typically made of abrasive grains (such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide) and bonding materials (such as metal or resin) that hold the abrasive grains together. Grinding segments come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are designed for use with different types of grinding machines and applications.

They are attached to the grinding machine via a holder, such as a grinding head or mandrel, and rotated at high speeds to remove material from the workpiece. Depending on the application, grinding segments may be used for surface grinding, cylindrical grinding, centerless grinding, or internal grinding.

Grinding segments are considered consumable items, as they wear down over time and eventually need to be replaced. The selection of the correct grinding segment is important, as it can affect the efficiency, quality, and speed of the grinding process. Factors such as the hardness and toughness of the workpiece, the type of material being removed, and the desired finish can all impact the choice of grinding segment.
