Abstract: A resinoid-bonded grinding wheel employing hard abrasives such as cubic boron nitride or diamond is formed with a support member made of a vitrified grinding wheel. The support member has sealing layers on the surfaces thereof for avoiding the penetration of coolant into the support member. A method for forming the wheel includes mounting a grinding element on a radial peripheral surface portion of the support member and applying a sealing layer to the remaining surface portions of the grinding element for preventing penetration of the coolant into the support member and generation of vibrations in the grinding wheel during operation due to rotational imbalance caused by the presence of coolant within the support member.

Abstract: An apparatus for successively truing and dressing a grinding wheel made of cubic boron nitride (CBN) with a diamond-impregnated truing roll and a metal dressing roll. The truing and dressing rolls are rotatably mounted on a roll carriage which is slidably mounted on a grinding machine so as to feed the rolls toward the CBN wheel and thereafter traversely move the rolls along the wheel surface of the CBN wheel. After truing with the truing roll, a coolant fluid mixed with liberation abrasive grain is supplied toward a gap of a predetermined distance, smaller than the mean size of the abrasive grain, which is established between the CBN wheel and the dressing roll, so that the liberation abrasive grain acts to grind and remove bond material from the wheel surface in order to accomplish the dressing of the CBN wheel.

Abstract: A manufacturing process for a metal bonded grinding tool includes the steps of; (a) preparing a rim of porous material, (b) press-forming the abrasive grains in contact with the rim to a specified structural dimension, and (c) forcibly passing a chemical plating liquid through a contacting body of the abrasive grains and the rim obtained in step (b) for continuously making the metal precipitate on the surfaces of the abrasive grains and in the pores of the rim so as to uniformly and continuously bond therebetween in any grinding tool of desired dimension.
