Grinding wheel selection: grain size vs material hardness Evaluate the statement: “A fine-grained grinding wheel is used to grind hard materials.” Choose the correct option.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: True — fine grain is preferred for hard materials

Explanation:


Guideline
For hard materials, a softer grade wheel with finer grain is typically used to maintain sharp cutting points and achieve good finish without excessive loading.


Contrast
For soft/tough materials, coarser grains help prevent wheel loading and allow higher material removal.


Final Answer
True — fine-grained wheel is used for hard materials.
