Abstract
Grinding tests were conducted using a straight type diamond wheel, the bond of which is an aluminium alloy containing an inter-metallic compound such as TiAl 3 phase. Workpiece materials were two kinds of ceramics and one float plate glass. The results of tests are as follows: the aluminium-bonded wheel showed a better grinding ratio and lower power consumption compared to a conventional bronze-bonded wheel, particularly in grinding float plate glass; the change of shape of the grinding wheel due to wear is smaller and the life of the wheel was found to be doubled compared to a conventional bronze-bonded wheel.
