Brown fused alumina micro powder 320#-2000#

Brown fused alumina micro powder, also called brown aluminium oxide micro Powder, is an artificial electro-fused corundum obtained from the reduced fusion of high-quality bauxite and other raw materials in 2000℃ electric arc furnaces. Bauxite Used for producing BFA contains high Aluminium Oxide(Al2O3). After the fusion process, then cooled down and crushed(milled)into lump sizes. The lump sizes are then ground into finer grades or powders and refined by sieving equipment into different particle distribution materials for many applications. It is the perfect material manufactured explicitly for general abrasive applications in bonded abrasive tools, polishing, and sandblasting grit. It has a lower hardness and abrasive capacity than diamond, boron carbide, and silicon carbide; it is widely used for grinding ferrous materials and finishing hard materials. It is also be used as high-class refractory materials.

Brown Fused Alumina(FAQ)

What is the hardness?

Hardness is rated from A-Z with ‘A’ being the weakest bond and ‘Z’ being the strongest.  A weak bond is preferred for grinding harder materials while  a stronger bond is desired for softer materials.  A typical weak bond for steel would be in the ‘F, G or H’ range.  A

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

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, bauxite is used for the manufacture of brown and semi-friable fused alumina,

What is porosity?

Porosity is defined as the gas proportion (cavity volume) of a particle’s total volume. It can be determined using different measurement techniques, such as gas adsorption and mercury porosimetry. With the same grain size and shape, a lower bulk density corresponds to a higher porosity of the grains.

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
