What you should know about Double-Disc Grinding
Double-Disc Grinding is a highly efficient grinding method that reduces premachining costs up to 50% and provides dimensional tolerances to ±.0002", parallelism to .0002", and flatness to .0002". Double-Disc Grinding uses two opposing abrasive wheels to simultaneously grind two sides of a blank. In one operation, equal amounts of material are removed from both sides.
Grinding two sides of a part at the same time provides greater control of dimensional tolerances, flatness, and parallelism...allowing Double Disc Grinding to achieve tolerances superior to Blanchard Grinding or flycutting. Additionally, Double-Disc Grinding provides surface finishes of up to 16 Ra on aluminum and up to 8 Ra on ferrous alloys.
Internal stress relief is another Double-Disc Grinding benefit. Simultaneously removing equal amounts of stock from two sides of a blank reduces residual stress. Less residual stress improves part stability during secondary operations and final machining.
