PACE Technologies DIA-R125-10-PSA 10" Diameter 125 um Resin Bonded Diamond Abrasive Grinding Disk with PSA Adhesive

PACE Technologies diamond grinding consumables are engineered for precision and efficiency in metallographic sample preparation. Featuring diamond grinding disks, PACE Technologies consumables handle various hard materials with exceptional durability. Whether you require aggressive material removal or fine surface finishes, PACE Technologies diamond grinding products ensure optimal performance and longevity for accurate microstructural analysis.

Diamond is the hardest known material and makes a great grinding abrasive for many hard materials. The advantages and disadvantages of grinding with diamond are as follows:

• Advantages:
  • Long lasting (most materials)
  • Hard and tough abrasive
  • Can be used for fixed, semi-fixed, and free abrasive application
• Disadvantages:
  • Does not work well with high carbon or hardened steels (diamond dulls due to reaction with ferrite structure)
  • Needs to be conditioned or dressed for optimum operation
  • Expensive

Diamond grinding is the most useful for removing material from ceramics and ceramic matrix composites. It is also useful for hard non-ferrous metals such as titanium and zirconium.

In general, for grinding other ferrous, steel and softer non-ferrous metals, diamond is typically not the best choice from both a performance and cost perspective.

Diamond grinding disks have resin bonding. Resin bonded disks will break down easier to produce a better surface finish, however, they typically have lower life.

Diamond grinding disks also have PSA (Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive) Backing: Provides secure adhesion to grinding wheels. Ideal for standard grinding applications and when quick disk changes are needed.
