Alpex Wheel Co. has introduced SLIP COAT^TM, a new generation of superabrasive grinding wheels. Extensive field testing has proven this new proprietary coating can significantly improve wheel life -- up to twice the life in some instances. Designed for problem grinding applications where wheel loading shortens overall life, SLIP COAT^TM offers increased lubricity to carry workpiece chips away from the grinding action. Chip flow and coolant access to the workpiece are optimized. Other benefits include a cooler workpiece, which reduces thermal damage; reduced wheel loading, leading to longer wheel life and less downtime; and increased overall throughput.
