  2. A REVOLUTIONARY NEW BOND THAT WILL RESHAPE THE WORLD OF PRECISION GRINDINGThrough Saint-Gobain Abrasives’ extensive research and development program in grinding wheel technology, comes Norton Vitrium3a new generation, patent-pending bond science.Our exclusive bond platform provides unprecedented grain adhesion with expanded product versatility across many precision grinding applications. Product Overview

  3. Norton Vitrium3 – Revolutionary Grain Adhesion Science • Vitrified abrasive products have two major components, abrasives and bond. The abrasive is the cutting tool portion of the wheel while the bond holds the abrasive in the matrix to form a wheel or segment. The space between the abrasive and the bond is referred to as the structure or porosity of the product. • Norton Vitirum3 is a revolutionary new product formulation that substantially increases the strength of the bond. This allows for thinner bond posts to be used to provide the same holding power on the individual abrasive grain. Standard Bond Posts Bond Porosity Abrasive • Norton Vitrium3Bond Posts

  4. Cooler cutting with better chip clearance • An improved holding power utilizing less bond-to-abrasive ratio exposes a larger grain surface area which improves the standard bond-part interaction. The thinner bond posts provide reduced bond-part interaction and improved coolant flow for better chip clearance which enables the wheel to provide: • increased cut rate • minimized heat build-up, reduced metallurgical damage • lower power consumption • reduced grinding forces on the part • improved part quality

  5. Profile Holding • A higher strength bond provides superior grain holding properties significantly improving wheel form and corner holding. This is especially important in applications requiring intricate part profiles where the less frequent wheel dressing to regenerate profiles provides the following benefits are: • better part geometry and integrity • less downtime for dressing, increases productivity • lower abrasive cost • reduced dresser wear and dresser replacement cost Watch Full Video

  6. Operating Speeds • Precision machinery is increasing being produced with higher operating speeds to improve productivity. These higher speeds mandate manufacturers provide wheels tested and rated for the higher speeds in order to take advantage of the higher machine speeds. The Norton Vitirum3 bond provides the maximum wheel strength allowing softer grades to be qualified for high speed grinding. At the same grade, a Norton Vitrium3 wheel is 20%. Higher operating speeds provide: • faster the stock removal • increased feed rates • significantly increased throughput and production

  7. Primary Markets • Gear • Profile, worm and bevel – all modules • Bores Not only ideal for high technology grinding but also mid-range applications in markets. • Aerospace (creep-feed or regular surface grinding) • Blades • NGV – Nozzle Guide Vanes • Bearing (cylindrical & linear) • Internal, external and linear tracks • Bores • Faces • Automotive components • Camshafts, Crankshafts • Valves • Gear box / shock absorbers / ….. shafts • Energy • Drill Bits/Drill Heads • Stabilizers/Reamers • Shafts and Other Cylindrical Parts

  8. Product Availability • Current Wheel Typeand Size Availability • All Creepfeed, Surface, Gear Cylindrical, Centerless, Crankshaft • Wheels up through 44” • Segments all standard shapes • Future Availability • Internal • Toolroom

  9. Application Information OUTER DIAMETER GRINDING Benefits of using Norton Vitrium3in OD grinding applications: At same grade, Norton Vitrium3 provides: Higher metal removal at lower power Longer life thanks to reduced dressing High wheel speed capability for increased throughput Improved profile holding At one grade softer than standard, it provides: Increased free cutting Shorter cycle time with limited risk of burn Improved part quality Lower stress on workpiece Most Common Markets: Bearing, Automotive, General Engineering

  10. Application Information Benefits of using Norton Vitrium3in surface grinding applications: At same grade, Vitrium3provides: Improved profile holding Reduced dressing Longer wheel life Higher working speed, for improved productivity Shorter cycle time with limited burn risk At one grade softer than standard, it provides: Faster and deeper cutting capabilities Cool grinding (significantly reduced burn risk), lower stress SURFACE GRINDING Most Common Markets: Aerospace, Bearing, Gear, MRO, General Engineering

  11. Performance Case StudyCool cutting: Improve Part Quality Norton Vitrium3 wheel life equal to or better than standard with increased MRR.
