A grinding wheel having hollow particles, along with abrasive grains,
fixed by a bonding material. The abrasive grains may be diamond grains.
The hollow particles may consist essentially of silica. The bonding
material may be electrodeposited nickel. The grinding wheel is
manufactured by performing an abrasive grain electrodeposition step of
immersing a base, with a plating surface being pointed upward, in a
plating solution, in which the abrasive grains having a larger specific
gravity than the plating solution are dispersed, to deposit the abrasive
grains settling in the plating solution on the plating surface, and also
deposit a plating metal on the plating surface; and a hollow particle
electrodeposition step of immersing the base, with the plating surface
being pointed downward, in a plating solution, in which the hollow
particles having a smaller specific gravity than the plating solution are
dispersed, to deposit the hollow particles floating in the plating
solution on the plating surface, and also deposit a plating metal on the
plating surface.
