Height of the fixed abrasive protrusion

Check the processing capability and the impact on surface roughness while confirming the protrusion height of the abrasive particles using a laser microscope!

Even though we refer to fixed abrasive tools in general, various manufacturers are constantly working on them in different ways every day. Since the manufacturing methods, characteristics, and diamond abrasive particle sizes (grit, D50, type of diamond) differ among manufacturers, have you ever experienced that even with the same grit, the processing capabilities and surface roughness of the products vary? So why do capabilities differ even when the "particle size is the same"? I believe one reason for this is the difference in the protrusion of the diamonds. Does a higher protrusion mean it works better...? There is also a relationship with pressure/rotation, and I feel that there is an appropriate protrusion height depending on the workpiece and processing conditions. When you get down to it, what size of abrasive particles in micrometers should be used, and how much of that should be protruding for the abrasives to work most effectively (to penetrate the workpiece)? *You can view the detailed content of the article through the related links.
