Diamonds
Background
Diamond abrasives usually consist of 2 components:
1. Diamond powder (also known as diamond crystals
or grit). By changing the size of the diamond powder
or grit, we can change how coarse or fi ne the
scratches will be that are left behind from the
grinding
or grit). By changing the size of the diamond powder
or grit, we can change how coarse or fi ne the
scratches will be that are left behind from the
grinding
process.
2. A binding agent (metal or resin). Diamond powder
is mixed and suspended in either a metal or resin
binding agent. When suspended in a metal binding
agent,

the
fi nished product is referred to as a Metal
Bond or Sintered diamond segment. When sus-
pended
in a resin binding agent, the fi nished product is
referred to as a Resin Bond diamond segment or
pad. By changing the hardness of the binding agent,
we can change how fast or slow the diamond abra-
sive

General Principles
The following are general rules regarding diamond
segments in grinding applications. As with all general
rules there are exceptions or cases when it is not the

DIAMOND GRIT SIZE
Changing the size of the diamond grit to a smaller par-
ticle/grit size will effect the performance of the diamond
tool in the following ways:
Changing the size of the diamond grit to a smaller par-

Create a fi ner scratch pattern.
Increase the life of the diamond tool.
The opposite will occur when changing to a larger

Increasing hardness of bond will:
Increasing hardness of bond will:
Increase life of diamond tool.
Decrease production rate.

The opposite will occur when making the metal or resin
bond softer.

WET AND DRY GRINDING
When using diamond segments wet, the following

When using diamond segments wet, the following

Summary of diamond principles
Diamond segments need to wear in order to achieve
productivity. Diamond segment wear can be infl uenced
by the following factors:
