Yes, wheel wear is measured by wheel loss over time and material removal rate is measured over time. We use a grind ratio number to evaluate wheels that is the amount of material removed divided by the amount of wheel lost.
I manage a test lab for an abrasives manufacturer and was wondering what effect that Rockwell hardness has on abrasive wheel removal rate and wheel wear. Recently the hardness of our 1018 CRS plates has changed from 77-82 to 90-98. The material removal rate has increased along with wheel wear...
