Brown fused alumina grit F-size F8-F220

Brown fused alumina grit and crystallized under high temperature from calcined bauxite, coke, and iron mixture. Brown aluminium oxide has high compression strength, toughness, excellent self-sharpening, low thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent hydrophilia and cleanliness. Due to its good toughness and high hardness, brown fused aluminium oxide is suitable for bonded abrasives such as grinding wheels and cutoff wheels, coated abrasives, lapping, polishing, sandblasting abrasives that are used for grinding metals of high-tensile strength, such as carbon steel, general-purpose alloy steel, malleable cast-iron, and hard bronze, etc. It also can be used as refractory materials.

The process of brown fused alumina grit F-size F8-F220 :
Brown fused alumina is produced from high-quality bauxite. This process is conducted via the 3500 KVA electric arc furnace at a temperature higher than 2200℃.
bauxite is broken into crushing machine — elevating– roll crusher mill– sizing —magnetic separator —fine sieve —water washing (acid washing )—package (25kg/pp bag or 25kg paper bag,40 bags/ton bag or pallet )
Our brown fused alumina covers two production lines. The F type is mainly used for producing resin cutting /grinding wheels and sandblasting. The P-type is designed for coating abrasives.

Brown Fused Alumina(FAQ)

What is the specification?

A typical grinding wheel specification consists of the grit type, the grit size, the hardness, the structure and the bond.  A typical grinding wheel specification would be A60-I10-VS.  ‘A’ is the grit type (aluminum oxide), ’60’ is the grit size, ‘I’ is the relative hardness, ’10’ is the structure, and

How is silicon carbide obtained?

Silicon carbide (SiC) is produced from coke and quartz sand applying the Acheson process in an electric resistance furnace. When petrol coke and quartz sand are grouped around a graphite electrode and heated to a temperature of 2,000°C, black and slightly higher-quality green SiC are obtained. Green SiC has a

What is silicon carbide?

Silicon carbide is a chemical compound of silicon and carbon and belongs to the group of carbides. The chemical formula is SiC.Silicon carbide is at the same time the hardest and lightest ceramic material and is also highly resistant against acids and alkaline solutions.

How do i prevent moisture contamination in the abrasive?

Moisture contamination is the number one reason customers call Technical Support. Fortunately, it is usually preventable. There are 4 key ways to keep your abrasive free of moisture:1.Store abrasive properly and always make sure bottles are tightly closed when not in use.2.Keep abrasive in a cool dry location with minimum
