  • About the Editor
    • Compares conventional abrasives (aluminum oxide, silicon carbide) with superabrasives (CBN, diamond) and their cost-performance trade-offs.
    • Details bonding systems-vitrified, resin, metal-and how bond type influences wheel hardness and porosity.
    • Guides users in selecting wheel grade, structure, and grit size for specific workpiece materials and finish requirements.

Camila Souza is an expert in abrasive grain development and binder chemistry, with a career spanning both academia and industry. She earned her Master's degree in Chemical Engineering studying the effects of vitrified and resin bonds on wheel performance. Camila has collaborated with leading manufacturers to innovate hybrid wheel structures that balance durability and cutting efficiency. Her publications include comparative studies on ceramic, CBN, and diamond grains under varying load conditions. As a guest lecturer, she teaches courses on wheel manufacturing and quality control. Camila's ongoing research investigates eco-friendly binders and their impact on wheel porosity and wear resistance.
