08F512 - Walter HP 5-Inch Stainless Steel Combo Wheel

High-Performance Abrasive Solution for Stainless Steel

The Walter 08F512 HP™ Stainless Steel Wheel represents a pinnacle in abrasive engineering, specifically formulated to meet the rigorous demands of industrial stainless steel fabrication. Designed with a specialized A-30-SS bond, this 5-inch wheel delivers an optimal balance between material removal rate and wheel longevity. Its 1/8-inch thickness classifies it as a versatile combination wheel, capable of performing efficient cutting operations as well as light grinding and deburring tasks without necessitating a tool change. This dual-functionality streamlines workflow in high-throughput manufacturing environments.

Crucial for industries requiring strict material purity, such as nuclear energy, food and beverage processing, and pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing, the HP wheel is guaranteed contaminant-free. It contains less than 0.1% Iron (Fe), Sulfur (S), and Chlorine (Cl), ensuring that the abrasive does not introduce impurities that could lead to galvanic corrosion or pitting in the stainless steel substrate. The wheel's composition promotes cool cutting dynamics, significantly reducing the heat affected zone (HAZ) and minimizing the risk of thermal discoloration or warping on thinner gauge materials.

Structurally, the wheel features a Type 27 depressed center, providing the operator with enhanced clearance for flush cutting and better ergonomics during grinding angles. The reinforced matrix ensures structural integrity at high rotational speeds up to 12,200 RPM. For procurement specialists and facility managers, the Walter 08F512 offers a cost-effective solution by extending the interval between wheel replacements and reducing post-weld cleaning time due to its superior finish quality.
