Grinding and Polishing Introduction

The following is the introduction to Grinding and Polishing. Grinding and polishing involve a step-by-step reduction of the roughness of a surface to access the undeformed structure. Grinding uses fixed abrasives—the abrasives particles are bonded to the paper or platen—for fast stock removal. Polishing uses free abrasives on cloth; the abrasives particles are suspended in a lubricant and can roll or slide across the cloth and specimen. This process is based on using abrasives particles in progressively finer grain sizes. In materialographic grinding, these abrasives are bonded in resin or metal matrix, with the most frequently used grinding abrasives being silicon carbide particles. These particles are often used when working with softer, medium or hard materials, composites and electronics. It is also possible to utilize diamond particles for harder components like ceramics, carbides, glass or stone.

Coarseness of the abrasive mineral:

Commonly referred to as “grit”, this number designation is determined by the amount of abrasive mineral that can pass through a mesh screen with specific size openings. Therefore, a 40 grit abrasive particle will pass through a mesh screen that has 40 openings in one linear inch. Consequently, the higher

Amount of abrasive applied:

This decision is made by knowing the type of material you will be working with. Open Coat – Here, the abrasive granules cover from 50% – 70% of the backing and are set at pre-determined spacing to reduce loading. Used on softer surface materials that tends to load or fill

How is fused alumina obtained?

Raw materials containing aluminium oxide are electrothermally melted at a reaction temperature of more than 2,000 °C to produce the various fused aluminas. Different starting materials are used depending on the desired type of fused alumina. For instance,
