Consumables Abrasive cut-off wheels The most commonly used abrasives for the cutting of different materials are SiC and Al2O3. Silicon carbide is suitable for non- ferrous metals, whereas Aluminum oxide is preferred for ferrous metals. Hard wheels are used for cutting soft materials while soft wheels are recommended for cutting harder materials.
Diamond Cutting Discs Metal bonded wheels are used for cutting brittle materials, such as ceramics or minerals, while resin bonded wheels are used for ductile materials, such as sintered carbides or composites that contain predominantly hard phases. Several factors are important for choosing the appropriate wafering blade.
