How do i prevent moisture contamination in the abrasive?

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

The description of the grain shape can range from “angular” to “acicular” to “spherical”. When the value of the dimensionless form factor is 1, the grain is spherical. The smaller the form factor, the pointier the grain.

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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,

Corundum is the most frequently used abrasive. The purer the corundum, the harder it also is, which can be determined from the colour. The toughness can be increased by adding various metal oxides and by shortening the cooling

MicroBlasting is extremely efficient and precise, so it is hardly likely you will need to recycle abrasive, but it is important to know the risk involved. Unlike grit or bead blasting, a MicroBlasting system can only cycle abrasive
