This standard is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard replaces GB/T 6406-1996 Super abrasive - Grain Sizes of Diamond or Cubic Boron Nitride, and the following main technical changes have been made with respect to GB/T 6406-1996:
——In the "Application Scope", "for manufacturing grinding wheel, saw and other industrial products" is deleted, and "(41μm~1,180μm)" is modified to "16/18~500/600" (see Chapter 1; Chapter 1 in 1996 edition);
——Normative references are modified (see Chapter 2; Chapter 2 of 1996 edition);
——Grain size designation is modified, and 500/600 and 35/45 are added (see Tables 3 and 4; Table 1 in 1996 edition);
