Surface grinding of metal & aluminium

Grinding wheels for surface grinding of metal and aluminium

Surface grinding of metal and aluminium places the highest demands on grinding tools — particularly when it comes to consistent surface quality, tight tolerance management and cost-effective tool life. Tyrolit offers a comprehensive range of diamond and conventional grinding wheels for surface grinding of metal, specifically developed to meet the requirements of the automotive industry, the cutlery industry and other metalworking sectors. Whether surface grinding aluminium on CNC machining centres or flat grinding stainless steel on side-flat grinding machines — Tyrolit provides the right solution for every process.

Surface grinding of aluminium: engine blocks & cylinder heads

The surface grinding of engine blocks and cylinder heads made of aluminium and bimetal is one of the most demanding applications in the automotive industry. Conventional milling tools quickly reach their limits here — particularly with bimetal blocks featuring a soft aluminium alloy and a significantly harder cylinder liner. The electroplated diamond grinding tools in Tyrolit’s CENTURIA SM-G series solve this problem with a patented design that guarantees a stable process and optimal grinding results throughout the entire tool life. The tools are suitable for all standard CNC machining centres, are manufactured to individual customer specifications and reduce set-up costs by eliminating time-consuming assembly work. The result: a significant improvement in the quality of the machined surface in terms of microporosity, whilst simultaneously minimising the scrap rate.

Surface grinding of stainless steel: Grinding tools for the cutlery industry

For the surface grinding of stainless steel in the cutlery industry, Tyrolit offers the COOL CUT series of flexible grinding and polishing tools, which have been specially developed for side and surface grinding machines. The self-sharpening grinding rings enable cool grinding at high feed rates — without dressing.

The innovative grain and bond system of the COOL CUT 3 ensures significantly longer service life and lower grinding forces compared to previous generations. The tools are suitable for surface grinding of all types of cutlery — from kitchen and pocket knives to scalpels and razor blades, right through to secateurs and paper knives. Available as a dual-layer disc for grinding and polishing in a single operation.
