Zhongyuan Diamond Micro Powder answers: When grinding harder and more brittle materials on a planar grinder, diamond micro powder is used. Which materials require it? For example, zirconia ceramics, glass, and other crystalline materials. How is diamond micro powder applied in a planar grinder? Generally, it's not possible to directly use diamond micro powder on a planar grinder. Grinding engineers usually make diamond micro powder into diamond grinding disks for operation on the equipment.

What should be considered when selecting diamond micropowders, and can any diamond micropowder be used in planar grinding equipment?

The answer is undoubtedly negative. Planar grinding for micro-powders demands strict requirements, with high standards for the process and particle size and shape.

Specifically, the micro-fine powder used on flat grinding machines must be extremely fine, usually reaching the um level, so a more refined process is necessary. Generally speaking, the particle size ranges from 2 to 200 um.

Next, the shape of diamond micro-powder is varied, and the shapes generally suitable for flat grinding are those that are nearly circular with smaller angles.

So, when making your selection, please note: first, opt for micro powders with a particle size between 2-50 micrometers, and second, choose those with shapes that are nearly circular and have minimal sharp edges.
