How do i know what abrasive is best for my application?

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

When functionalising fused alumina, a very thin layer of a silane adsorption group is applied to the fused alumina particles. This organic surface coating has the effect of better embedding and increased scratch resistance in a melamine resin

Abrasive grains – usually aluminum oxide or silicon carbide Bonding agent – usually a resin bond Spacing of grains within the bond – determine porosity and strength

Corundum is a mineral from the category of oxides and hydroxides and is the most frequently used industrial mineral worldwide. It also occurs naturally as a gemstone (sapphire, emerald, ruby). Chemically corundum is aluminium oxide with the chemical

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. 

According to the FEPA, the bulk density of an abrasive is the quotient of the mass and the volume a grain type poured out in a particular manner will occupy. The bulk density, also called bulk weight, is

The flow behaviour of powders depends on many factors. The following applies in general: Coarser, dry grain types flow easily, but the fine the grains get, the stronger is the impact of morphology and various adhesive forces on

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.

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,

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

Structure is basically the spacing between abrasive grains.  An open structure would be 12 or higher while a closer structure would be 6 or so.  Here again, the structure depends on a variety of factors not the least

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
