What are the three basic raw materials used in the manufacture of coated abrasives?
Grain – a synthetic or natural abrasive; Bond – an adhesive that permanently bonds the backing to the abrasive; Backing – a backing that the abrasive is bonded to
FAQ
TAOANG Industrial is headquartered in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. The factory is located in Henan Sanmenxia corundum Industrial Park. In 2007, the partners jointly built the Sanmenxia Xinfeng Abrasives Factory, which is mainly engaged in producing and processing brown fused alumina. In 2018, Taoang Industry continued to make a white fused alumina factory in Zhaigen Industrial Park, Sanmenxia City, mainly engaged in producing and processing white fused alumina, dense fused, and bubble alumina.
How long is your delivery time?
Around 30 working days after receiving prepayment.
What are the different coated abrasive grain types and their characteristics?
Aluminum Oxide – Aluminum Oxide is brown or reddish in color and a man-made abrasive. It is durable with tough cutting edges. It offers long life and is highly wear resistant even under stress applications. Its applications include aluminum, ferrous metals (including alloy steel), hardwood, and leather. Crocus – Crocus
What are the different types of abrasive bonds used in coated abrasives?
Glue – A system where both coats are made of animal glue is used when the strength of the bond is not an important factor, such as with lightweight papers and materials. Phenolic Resin – This system uses full phenolic resin for both coats. It is designed to withstand moisture
What are the main components used in the construction of bonded abrasives?
Abrasive grains – usually aluminum oxide or silicon carbide Bonding agent – usually a resin bond Spacing of grains within the bond – determine porosity and strength
What applications are bonded abrasives used in?
Centerless grinding Cylindrical grinding Foundry snagging Internal grinding Mounted point grinding Portable grinding Surface grinding Toolroom grinding
What grit do i use for my finishing application?
If you are roughing, choose a 36 to 80 grit. If you are intermediate grinding, use 80 through 180 grit. If you are finishing, use 220 through 240 grit.
What is the best way to store my abrasives?
The best way to have abrasive products retain maximum performance and work life is to store them properly. The bonding and backing materials used in abrasives are very sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity. Abrasives are best stored at temperature levels of 60 to 80 degrees Farenheit and a
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
What is the grit type?
Grit type is either aluminum oxide (white, pink, ruby red, brown, grey, etc.) silicon carbide (black or green), ceramic (blue and pink) or any combination of these. Grit types are sometimes mixed in combination for achieving certain cutting characteristics. Aluminum oxide is friable (white) or semi-friable (pink, brown and grey, red,
What is grit size?
Grit size typically runs from coarse (16 -24 grit), medium (36 – 60 grit) and fine (80-120 grit). Superfine grits run from 150 and higher. Grinding wheels usually will be between 24 and 100 grit. Honing stones and jointing stones and other polishing abrasives will be 150 grit and higher.
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
