The external cylindrical grinding process is used for precision-grinding and polishing of rotationally symmetrical parts. Its chief area of application extends from the centerless external cylindrical grinding of stainless steel pipes in a continuous process to the external cylindrical grinding between centers of piston rods with subsequent superfinishing, and also covers the external cylindrical grinding of high-alloyed stainless steel wires.. Especially for external cylindrical grinding Hermes abrasives are bringing benefits you'll appreciate: • Belt grinding processes offer a lot of different surface qualities • High stock removal rates without high tool wear • Long tool live • Similar stock removal rates in comparison to turning processes • Highest consistent surface qualities up to Ra > 0.1 µm • Flexible machining process due to quick change of types and grits • Cost-effective machining process due to low machine and tool costs 4 More cost-effective grinding with our Hermes long-life grinding belts. With our MERCURIT® and HERMESIT® long-life grinding belts, Hermes offers specially developed products for the external cylindrical grinding of pipes, rods, rolls and wire. The special three-dimensional structure of the abrasive grain causes new grain layers to be constantly produced during the grinding process. This brings advantages that significantly improve the cost efficiency of your grinding processes: • consistent surface structure and roughness depths to the very end of the tool's life • Homogeneous surface structures, as required for good corrosion resistance, for example • 3 to 5 times longer tool life than conventional grinding belts, reducing stoppages for belt replacement and machine downtimes, and saving costs on the disposal of used belts tHe mercurit® grinding belt system Hermes has developed the mercurit® grinding belt system especially for external cylindrical grinding. With this system, the rb 590 y – already established on the market – covers intermediate grinding and fine sanding, while the rb 598 y (silicon carbide grain) special grinding belt is suitable for the cost-efficient finishing and polishing of cylindrical workpieces. Both types of belts are based on a compact agglomerate grain structure (the "MERCURIT® principle"), in which the agglomerate is produced by a great many abrasive grains in a binding mixture. MERCURIT® Agglomeratee tHe "Hermesit® PrinciPle" Hermes HERMESIT® long-life grinding belts feature special hollow spheres covered with grain material, which wear uniformly during grinding and simultaneously release new grains. HERMESIT® long-life grinding belts produce an exceptional surface finish – the socalled "Hermesit® finish". We recommend the use of low grinding pressure for working with rb 535 X or rb 545 X belts. On the other hand, rb 535 y and rb 545 y belts achieve their best grinding results when medium grinding pressure is applied. These abrasives are universal and suitable for dry and wet-grinding (resistant to water, emulsion and oil). HERMESIT® Hollow sphere 5 External cylindrical grinding – tubes, rods, rollers F or the external cylindrical grinding of tubes, rods and roller, we differentiate between centerless cylindrical grinding and grinding between centers. The machining steps depend on the initial condition and nature of the workpieces, and the desired final quality. In addition to dry-grinding, emulsion-grinding is also common. This reduces the grinding temperatures, protecting the workpiece, lengthening the belts' service life and considerably reducing grinding dust and noise emissions. Modern cylindrical grinding processes require extremely constant material removal rates combined with constant surface characteristics. Example: Grinding stainless steel pipes on a 6-station cylindrical grinding machine.

Possible flaws include scratches, scores, cracks, markings, oxidation, geometrical deformation and impurities. Coarse grit sizes (24 to 80) are primarily used for initial grinding. One of the most impressive features of Hermes initial grinding belts is their extreme grain sharpness and high removal rates. All products boast sturdy backing and can be used for both dry and wet-grinding (resistant to water, emulsion and oil). Hermes recommendation for initial grinding RB 377 YX Strong aluminum oxide abrasive belt, recommended for grinding small batch sizes RB 484 44 Z High-performance zirconia alumina abrasive belt, especially suitable for initial grinding stainless steel CR 456 Z High-performance ceramic grain abrasive belt, especially suitable for initial grinding wet or dry at low grinding pressures corrision and acid-resistant steel and titanium and nickel alloys HERMESIT RB 535 Y Particularly durable HERMESIT® aluminum oxide abrasive belt for producing satin surfaces ("HERMESIT®-Finish") at medium grinding pressures, especially suitable for initial grinding steel, stainless steel and high-alloyed steel HERMESIT RB 545 Y Particularly durable HERMESIT® silicon carbide abrasive belt for producing brilliant shining surfaces ("HERMESIT®-Finish") at medium grinding pressures, especially suitable for initial grinding and descaling steel, stainless steel, high-alloyed steel and titanium 7 MERCURIT® and HERMESIT® long-life grinding belts for cost-efficient intermediate grinding I ntermediate grinding is used to further smooth initially ground surfaces. For this purpose, grinding belts in the medium to fine grit range (80 to 1200) are employed. MERCURIT® and HERMESIT® long-life grinding belts were specially developed for intermediate grinding. The special three-dimensional structure of the abrasive grain causes new grain layers to be constantly produced during the grinding process. This keeps surface structures and roughness depths constant and homogeneous throughout the belts' life. In fact, they last 3 to 5 times longer than conventional grinding belts. This cuts down on stoppages for belt replacement and machine downtimes, on disposal costs and the number of subsequent machining steps required for workpieces.

The grain is embedded firmly in the web with binding agent and is therefore extremely tough and durable. These belts are universal and suitable for dry and wet-grinding (resistant to water, emulsion and oil). Hermes recommendation webrax-An 701 50 Very compact aluminum oxide/silicon carbide abrasive web belt, reinforced with cloth, for structure grinding stainless steel surfaces convolutely WrAPPed WebrAX AbrAsive Web WHeels Thanks to their excellent plybond strength, convolutely wrapped webrax abrasive web wheels produce an optimum web finish.

The grinding film is pressed against the rotating, initially ground workpiece in a highfrequency, oscillating transverse motion. Using Hermes grinding films for the micro-grain range down to P 2500/9µm, this technique is able to produce high-precision functional surfaces with constant, low surface characteristics. Hermes recommendation fb 637 Film-backed aluminum oxide abrasive rolls with an excellent tool life and consistent roughness values due to even pressure-resistant polyester film backing webrax-AN 701 50 Polishing with microlite wheels H ermes microlite polishing wheels are elastic and, because of their excellent adaptability, are particularly suitable for fine sanding. They satisfy the most stringent requirements in terms of gloss and smoothness of workpiece surfaces ("mirror finish"). Polyurethane-based binder containing a silicon carbide abrasive grain is formed in a special process to create microlite polishing wheels with varying degrees of elasticity. Hermes recommendation microlite Polishing wheel In many cases, the use of microlite polishing wheels for fine sanding reduces the number of machining steps and increases the productivity and cost efficiency of your work process. As well as being suitable for dry-grinding, microlite micro polishing wheels are resistant to water, emulsion and oil and can therefore also be used for wet-grinding.

The advantages of the cutting wire-grinding process over electrochemical methods such as etching, and also over other cutting techniques such as draw-peeling or turning, are especially evident when descaling and removing microcracks in the wire surface. To ensure the required long tool life whilst simultaneously achieving constant surfaces, Hermes offers suitable abrasives in the form of high-performance grinding belts with zirconia alumina grain and long-life grinding belts with MERCURIT® agglomerate or HERMESIT® abrasive grain.
