An overseas foundry was grappling with a series of issues related to traditional grinding discs. The conventional resin - bonded grinding tools they were using had a short lifespan, often requiring frequent replacements. This led to significant downtime as machines had to be stopped for tool changes. Moreover, the cutting efficiency was extremely low, resulting in longer processing times for each workpiece. Additionally, the dust pollution generated during the grinding process was a major concern. Not only did it pose health risks to the workers, but it also led to a less - than - ideal working environment, which in turn affected the overall productivity of the foundry.
The specific application scenario was the removal of burrs from ductile cast iron. The grinding discs were used on a daily basis, with a high - frequency operation. The working environment was a typical industrial foundry setting, with high temperatures and a relatively harsh atmosphere. The operators were using the grinding discs to perform precision tasks, ensuring that the surface of the cast iron parts met the required specifications.
| Performance Indicator | Traditional Resin Grinding Disc | Henan Youde's Vacuum Brazed Diamond Grinding Disc |
|---|---|---|
| Lifespan | Short, typically requiring replacement every few days | Up to 100 times longer than traditional resin tools, lasting for months of continuous use |
| Cutting Speed | Slow, resulting in long processing times | Significantly faster, reducing the processing time per workpiece by up to 50% |
| Surface Finish | Inconsistent, with rough surfaces | Highly consistent, achieving a smooth surface finish |
| Dust Control | Poor, generating a large amount of dust | Excellent, reducing dust emissions by up to 80% |
"Since we started using Henan Youde's vacuum brazed diamond grinding discs, we've seen a remarkable improvement in our operations. The cost savings are substantial, and the working environment has become much safer." - Customer QuoteThe foundry achieved significant cost savings. With the longer lifespan of the grinding discs, the annual replacement cost for each machine was reduced by over $5,000. The safety in the workplace was greatly enhanced due to the reduced dust and odor. Maintenance was simplified as there were fewer tool changes, and the production continuity was significantly improved. The reduced downtime led to an increase in overall production output by approximately 30%.
The vacuum brazing process used in these grinding discs is a key factor in their performance. This process ensures a strong bond between the diamond and the substrate, allowing for high - speed and efficient cutting. The segmented geometric design helps in better chip removal, preventing clogging and maintaining a consistent cutting performance. The material compatibility is also excellent, enabling the grinding discs to work effectively on various types of metals, including cast iron.
