Abstract

The present disclosure provides a grinding wheel for grinding, configured such that a fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) layer in a wheel outer peripheral part located on the outer surface of a wheel central part is provided at a position and thickness that vary depending on the type of weaving pattern layer, thereby exhibiting superior mechanical properties and superior vibration/shock absorption and offsetting effects compared to conventional grinding wheels, so problems such as cracking and fatigue failure due to burning do not occur, and moreover, the quality and productivity of processed products can be improved. Moreover, the grinding wheel is lighter in weight than conventional grinding wheels, and when an abrasive part is completely consumed, it can be replaced with a new abrasive part through removable attachment thereof, whereby the wheel outer peripheral part (wheel body) can be reused continuously, and the exchange time and the amount of tool wear can be reduced.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A grinding wheel, comprising:
a wheel central part comprising steel; and
a wheel outer peripheral part provided on an outer surface of the wheel central part and configured such that a fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) layer is laminated and joined in a plurality of plies in a direction perpendicular to the outer surface of the wheel central part,
wherein the fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) layer has at least one weaving pattern layer selected from among a woven fabric layer and a unidirectional fabric layer, and
wherein the wheel outer peripheral part is configured such that a core portion parallel to a line perpendicular to the outer surface of the wheel central part and located at a center of the wheel outer peripheral part, a middle portion parallel to the core portion and located on at least one side of the core portion, and a surface portion located on the middle portion are laminated and joined.

2. The grinding wheel of claim 1 , wherein the fiber-reinforced plastic layer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), glass-fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP), and aramid-fiber-reinforced plastic (AFRP).

3. The grinding wheel of claim 1 , wherein a fiber bundle of the fiber-reinforced plastic layer comprises 1 k to 24 k strands of yarn per ply.

4. The grinding wheel of claim 1 , wherein each of the core portion and the surface portion comprises a woven fabric layer having a plurality of plies.

5. The grinding wheel of claim 4 , wherein a thickness in plies of the core portion is 8 to 12 plies.

6. The grinding wheel of claim 4 , wherein a thickness in plies of the surface portion is 22 to 28 plies.

7. The grinding wheel of claim 4 , wherein the woven fabric layer is a woven fabric layer interlaced in 0° and 90° directions.

8. The grinding wheel of claim 1 , wherein the woven fabric layer is woven in a plain weave.

9. The grinding wheel of claim 1 , wherein the middle portion comprises a unidirectional fabric layer having a plurality of plies.

10. The grinding wheel of claim 9 , wherein a thickness in plies of the unidirectional fabric layer is 90 to 100 plies.

11. The grinding wheel of claim 9 , wherein the unidirectional fabric layer is laminated at an intersection angle of 85° to 95° to form a plurality of plies.

12. The grinding wheel of claim 1 , further comprising an abrasive part provided on an outer surface of the wheel outer peripheral part and comprising an abrasive.
