The CBN grinding belts are particularly suitable for processing hardened steels (>55 HRC) and titanium alloys. CBN (cubic boron nitride) is the hardest abrasive grain after diamond.
Due to the hardness of the CBN abrasive grain, the CBN abrasive belts achieve excellent results when processing hardened steels, chrome (layers), carbon-containing metals and gray cast iron.
- Very long service life
The combination of the innovative grain and belt connection technology, as well as the very low grain wear, ensures a very long service life of the CBN sanding belts.
- Processing of very hard materials
The extremely hardness of the CBN crystals means that very hard materials can be processed. The wear and corrosion resistance of the CBN crystals is a guarantee for machining.
- Constant surface quality
The continuous grinding performance with an extremely long service life ensures constant surface quality. In addition, the very cool grinding prevents thermal surface damage to the workpiece being machined.
- Suitability for dry and wet grinding
The CBN sanding belts are suitable for both dry sanding and wet sanding.
CBN sanding belts have a specially patented carrier material. It is a carrier material made of aramid fibers. Aramid fibers (also known under the brand name Kevlar) are characterized by very high strength, very high elongation at break and high vibration damping properties. The carrier material is covered with a form-fitting copper layer. Using a nickel-based alloy, the CBN crystals are galvanically bonded to the grinding belt in island or full coverage (see pictures).The designation of the CBN grain size differs from the grain size according to FEPA. To better assign and select the correct grain size for the CBN grinding belts, a grain size comparison is shown below.
- CBN: Hardened steels, chrome (layers), carbon-containing metals, gray cast iron
- Recommended grinding operations: Grinding of surfaces, edges and cylindrical workpieces
- Workpiece types:Rollers, (paper) cylinders, glass edges, marble and granite slabs, ceramic-coated parts
- Handling:Robotic, automatic and manual grinding
