While extremely porous, Vitrium3 Bond adheres strongly to grains, allowing grinding wheels to be used safely at speeds up to 80 m/sec. Wheel form retention and radius accuracy are optimized, minimizing dressing time and wear on diamond dresser and wheel. Free flow of coolant through porous matrix results in efficient chip clearance, avoiding wheel loading and clogging. Grinding burn is practically eliminated, and so too are residual stresses and metallurgical change in surface of component.
