TY - JOUR AU1 - Lindsay, Richard P. AB - Seeded Gel SG is a ceramic aluminium oxide manufactured by a sintering process. Each abrasive grit consists of submicron size particles which under grinding force are separated from the grit. This keeps SG sharper than conventional abrasives which can dull as flats are worn on the working points. This wearing of small particles also reduces wheel wear rates and increases the G Ratio volume of metal removedwheel wear volume. Because submicron particles are worn away, SG holds form and finish better than conventional abrasives especially at higher metal removal rates and forces. Therefore less dressing is needed, wheel life is increased and higher removal rates increase productivity. Moreover, unlike CBN which may require new truing andor dressing methods, SG products are easily trued with single or multipoint diamonds or rotary diamond cutters nor do they require stifferthanusual machines or special equipment.
