Basically, surface grinding is extensively used to make flat, smooth surfaces with accurate thickness tolerance. In this process, a rotating OD grinding wheel is used. This can be plated with abrasive particles like diamond or can be a composite wheel with embedded abrasives. Usually, lubrication is also added to the grinding surface to decrease the friction and improve the ease of the grinding. There are a lot of leading companies involved in offering the most reliable surface grinding services by using combinations of form wheels and profile grinding. They also generate complex contours in carbides, ceramics, and optical materials to tight tolerances.
Kadco Ceramics is one of them and a quite popular one. They have gained specialization is in diamond machining and milling. They have catering the needs of shaping hard materials for commercial, military, medical and educational institutions since 1980.
