Preparation and performance of tannin-glyoxal-urea resin-bonded grinding wheel loaded with SiO2 reinforcing particles

Abstract: In this study, an easily prepared bio-based abrasive grinding wheel based on tannin-glyoxal-urea (TGU)thermosetting matrix is presented.The synthesised resin was prepared via co-polycondensation reaction of glyoxal and ureawith condensed tannin, which is a forest-derived product. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry results confirmed that urea and glyoxal react well under acidic conditions and that -(OH)CH-NH-group is primarily involved in TGU cross-linking. Differential scanning calorimetry, thermomechanical analysis and thermogravimetric analysis investigations showed that the preparation of TGU resin is easier compared to commercial phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin; moreover, TGU resin has a more robust chemical network structure, which contributes efficiently to heat resistance and improved mechanical properties. This observation is supported by Brinell hardness, compression resistance and grinding testing; these showed that the new grinding wheel acquired higher hardness, superior resistance against compression and stronger abrasion resistance compared with a PF-based grinding wheel prepared in the laboratory. Moreover, few holes and no cracks were found in the new grinding wheel.
