ABSTRACT
Wheel bond systems can be divided into two types: those holding a single layer of abrasive grain to a solid steel core, and those providing a consumable layer many grains thick with the abrasive held within the bond. The latter may be mounted on a resilient core or produced as a solid monolithic structure from the bore to the outer diameter. This chapter deals with the different types of bonding structures employed in grinding wheel design and the effects on wheel performance.
