Abstract: A grinding wheel including: (a) an annular core body which includes a multiplicity of aggregate particles and a resin bond that holds said aggregate particles together; (b) an abrasive layer which is disposed radially outwardly of said annular core body and which includes a multiplicity of abrasive grains and a vitrified bond that holds said abrasive grains together; and (c) an impermeable coating which is formed of a synthetic resin, and which is disposed on said annular core body.

Abstract: A super-abrasive grinding wheel having a core member formed of an aluminum alloy including at least 40% by weight of aluminum, and at least one abrasive layer consisting of super-abrasive grains bonded to at least one surface of the core member, the super-abrasive grinding wheel being operable to perform a grinding operation at a peripheral speed of at least 80 m/s, wherein the core member is at least partially coated with a corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant protective film such as an anodized aluminum film, or a metal film formed by spraying a metallic material in a substantially molten state.
