Grinding Wheel Material and interaction with weld material
Grinding Wheel Material and interaction with weld material
(OP)
Can anyone tell me what is the source of information that is used to correlate weld material (on pipe) with acceptable grinding wheel material? Specifically, I am looking at a 3M Green Corp Depressed Center Wheel with 40-80% Aluminum Oxide Mineral and 10-15% Zirconium Oxide Mineral. I need to evaluate its effect (if any) on SS (E316)and Alloy 600/82/182/52/5M weld filler materials.
I have heard that there are documented interactions between weld filler materials and grinding wheel materials that penetrate into the weld during the grinding process. The interactions include weakening of the weld, chemical interaction, etc.
Thanks in advance.

I strongly suggest that you get a hold of a good coolant and a good wheel guy and lay out the spedicif issues and amke an informed decision togeather because the Devil will be in the details
good luck
