For foundry managers seeking reliable, high-performance tools to reduce downtime and improve surface finish quality, vacuum brazed diamond grinding wheels from Henan Yode Superhard Tools Co., Ltd. are proving to be a game-changer.
Most foundries still rely on resin-bonded grinding wheels for deburring cast iron and ductile iron parts—a method that often leads to frequent wheel replacement (every 2–4 hours under heavy use), inconsistent results, and increased labor costs. In contrast, vacuum brazed diamond wheels offer up to 3x longer lifespan and 40% faster material removal rates, based on field tests across 12 Chinese foundries using the same production lines.
| Tool Type | Avg. Lifespan per Wheel | Deburring Speed (mm/min) | Dust Emission Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resin Bonded | 2–4 hrs | 80–120 | High |
| Vacuum Brazed Diamond | 6–10 hrs | 180–250 | Low |
“Since switching to Yode’s vacuum brazed wheels, our average cycle time per part dropped from 7 minutes to just 4.5 minutes — and we’ve cut tooling expenses by over $1,200/month.” — Zhang Wei, Production Manager, Shandong Huaxin Foundry
These gains aren’t just about speed—they’re about safety and sustainability too. With lower vibration and minimal dust generation (up to 60% less particulate matter vs. traditional methods), operators report fewer respiratory issues and improved workplace morale.
Whether you're working with small precision components or large structural castings, Yode offers a full range of diameters—from 100mm to 400mm—with custom options available for OEMs. For general-purpose deburring of gray cast iron, a 150mm wheel provides optimal balance between cutting force and control. For heavier-duty applications like gear housing deburring, 250mm or larger is recommended.
The secret? Advanced vacuum brazing ensures diamond grains remain securely embedded even at high temperatures (>600°C), making these wheels ideal for both manual and CNC-assisted operations.
