Workpiece material, machine, grinding method and target result are reviewed before the wheel route is finalized.
Custom wheel sourcing for non-ferrous hard materials
Custom Diamond Grinding Wheels
DIRECT ANSWER
Diamond grinding wheels are normally reviewed for carbide, PCD/PCBN, ceramics, glass and other non-ferrous hard materials. The correct wheel depends on the workpiece, machine, wheel geometry, bond, grit, coolant and the finish or tool-life target.

Selection framework
Bond or sourcing route follows the application—not a generic catalogue rule.
These rows are an RFQ discussion guide. Final suitability depends on the complete grinding condition and manufacturing feasibility.

These visible answers summarize the main technical decisions without unsupported performance promises.
What materials normally use a Diamond grinding wheel?
Diamond is normally reviewed for carbide, PCD/PCBN, ceramics, glass and other hard non-ferrous materials. It is generally not the first choice for ferrous hardened steel applications.
Which wheel shape should I request?
Start from the current wheel drawing, label or machine setup. Common tool-grinding shapes include 1A1, 1V1, 6A2, 11V9 and 12V9, but the correct profile depends on the contact geometry and clearance required.
Can the current wheel be improved instead of copied?
Yes. If the current wheel has short life, chipping, slow cutting or poor finish, the review should consider bond, grit, concentration and grinding condition rather than copying the label alone.

Complete the details together.
A drawing is helpful, but a wheel label, photo, machine model or grinding problem can also start the review.
