An abrasive vitreous bonded solid mass having a vitrified abrasive structure comprising diamond grains which are held by an in inorganic bonding agent, the vitrified diamond wheel is impregnated with a composition which comprises a thermosetting synthetic resin and a surfactant. The vitrified diamond wheel is manufactured by preparing the composition including the resin and the surfactant, impregnating the abrasive structure with the composition, and curing the composition. The diamond wheel newly developed showed excellent performance in grinding carbide.

A diamond grinding wheel is generally used to grind hard and brittle materials, such as advanced ceramics. It is, however, quite difficult to dress a diamond grinding wheel efficiently because of its high degree of hardness. In this study, some investigations are carried out to increase dressing efficiecy of resinoid bonded diamond grinding wheel. Dressing forces are measured over a wide range of dressing conditions, and SEM observation of a grinding wheel is carried out. Special attention is paid to comparison between stick method and rotary brake method. Results obtained in this study provide useful information determining reguired dressing time, and for choosing efficient dressing condition for diamond grinding wheel.

Diamond wheels with fine grains and multi-porous structures are newely trial developed for smoothing and mirror finishing materials. Grinding wheel must have performed both to remove tool marks efficienitly and to contact elastically with curved surfaces, that are employed for ultra precision and high performance grinding of difficult-to materials such as tungsten carbide alloy using tool and die materials, Diamond grains are bonded by a melamine resin to prevent the decrease of machining efficiency due to grain sinking within the bond materials. Also, highly foamed structures are developed to increase the flexibility of the grinding wheel, and to induce self-sharpening by increasing contact pressure between the grinding wheel and workpiece surfaces. In this paper, melamine-bonded diamond wheels try to manufacture, then the forming method of grinding wheel are suggested, and the grinding characteristics of melamine-bonded diamond grinding wheel are also illustrated.

Development of diamond wheel with fine grains and multi-pore structures were newely attempted to be studied in this paper. Wheels, that are employed for the smooth and mirrow finishing of die materials such as tungsten carbide alloy using tool and die materials, must have both performances to remove tool marks efficiently and to contact elastically with curved surfaces. Diamond abrasive grains were bonded firmly by a melamine to prevent the decrease of machining efficiency due to grain sinking within the bond materials. Also, highly foamed structures were developed to increase the flexibility of the wheel, and to induce active self-sharpening by increasing contact pressure between the wheel and work sufaces. In this paper, melamine-bonded diamond wheels are trial manufactured, then the forming method of wheels are explained.

Diamond is the hardest material known to humans, also possesses the highest thermal conductivity and a very low thermal expansion coefficient. Therefore, these properties of diamond make them logical choices for many difficult grinding application. Bonding material is a very important factor to performance of a grinding wheel. Grinding glass constitutes one of the major application areas of diamond grinding wheels, and Cu-Sn tin bronze matrix is widely used as a metal bond of diamond wheel in grinding glass but these studies are rarely reported. The bronze test pieces excluding diamond are sintered by the method of hot sizing respectively at $600^{\circ}C$, $650^{\circ}C$, $700^{\circ}C$, with a composition(Cu-10wt%Sn) on ${\alpha}$ phase and two compositions(Cu-20wt%Sn and Cu-23wt%Sn) on ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ phase. The rupture strength of Cu-10wt%Sn is highest. The bronze bonded diamond wheels are manufactured by same conditions as the bronze test pieces. The results of grinding ratio of wheels are highest in case of Cu-10wt%Sn bonded wheel sintered at $650^{\circ}C$ and grinding power is highest in same composition sintered at $700^{\circ}C$.

This study deals with the truing of diamond wheel fur the manufacture of micro v-shaped grooves with fine sharp edges in the grinding. Fine micro v-shaped grooves are key components to fabricate LGP(light guide plate), optical fiber connector and so on. Conventional v-shaped groove methods such as etching and lithography are difficult to make grooves with accuracy and cutting by lathe is difficult to select target materials. Therefore, as a preliminary stage to developing the grinding technology that will be expected fabrications for micro 3-dimensional structure of high effectivity and accuracy and freed up the restrictions of machinability to the materials for micro v-shaped grooves, truing is carried out with resin bond diamond wheel and electroforming diamond wheel using a cup-type truer. From the experimental results, it is found that the effects according to working direction of the cup-type truer and the restrainable methods of plastic deformation that is generated at wheel edge are examined. As a result, fine micro v-shaped diamond wheel was obtained, which are applicable to micro grinding for optical devices.

The diamond wheel with superabrasive is required for mirror-like surface grinding of brittle materials. But the conventional dressing mothod can not apply to the diamond wheel with superabrasive. Recently electrolytic dressing method was developed for cast-iron bonded diamond wheel with superabrasive. This technique can take replace of lapping and polishing. Using the electrolytic dressing, the surface roughness of workpiece was improved largely and grinding force was very low and the continuity of the grinding force was also very improved. In this study, the purpose is the realization of mirror-like surface grinding of ferrite with electrolytic dressing of metal bonded diamond wheel. For application of ultraprecision grinding for brittle material, superabrasive wheel, air spindle and inprocess electrolytic dressing were used. In addition, the effects of pick current and pulse width on ground surface were investigated, and the suitable dressing conditions for ferrite were found out.

In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate the characteristics of grinding and wear process of diamond wheel during grinding ceramic materials. Normal component of grinding resistance was decreasing while increase of spindle speed. The resistance of vitrified bond wheel was less then that of resinoid bond wheel because of imbedded large holes on the surface of cutting edge. Surface roughness was decreasing while increase of spindle speed. The surface roughness using vitrified bond wheel was less than that of resinoid bond wheel because of small elastic deformation. After continuous finding of ceramics, cutting edge ratio of resinoid bond wheel decreased. For the case of vitrified bond wheel, cutting edge ratio did not change.

The resin bonded diamond wheel is used to grind the difficult-to-cut materials. Traditionally, the resin bonded diamond wheel is manufactured without any pores due to the characteristics of resin bond. In this study, two porous resin bonded diamond wheel were made and the grinding characteristics were compared with traditional nonporous ones. The experimental results indicate that the porous resin bond diamond wheel require less grinding forces and powers.
