Can someone recommend a wheel for grinding grade 5 titanium??
I am grinding small parts to be flush with another surface. Probably grind less than 15 thou total and like i said it is a small part (1”x2” ish). I am grinding on a boyar schultz manual machine and like to grind dry. If I absolutely need to use mist coolant, I will, but definitely would rather not. I grind in about .0005” doc and speedy across x axis and take my time moving in y axis. I am using a general purpose open grain structure wheel now that I use to grind 4140 without issue. When using it for titanium, it wants to load up and generate quite a bit of heat. My instincts tell me to go harder in wheel hardness, but I am a newbie to grinding and not sure.
Recommendations from someone would be a great help so I dont end up buying a bunch of wheels to find one to work. Thanks in advance.
