Process improves grinding wheels

Norton BCG Vortex centerless grinding wheels by Saint-Gobain Abrasives incorporate a technology that improves porous structure and abrasive spacing.

Unlike other porous vitrified-wheel technologies, the one used for the Vortex wheels did not involve artificial pore inducers (chemicals), which results in cool wheels for heat-sensitive applications, good metal removal rates, extended life for reduced cycle times, and improved part quality.
