What is melting vs. Sintering?

When processing minerals in a furnace, materials can either be melted or sintered.  When materials are melted during the production process the minerals go from a solid state, to a liquid state, then is re-solidified during the cooling process creating uniformity in the chemistry throughout the entire batch. The sinerting process heats the minerals in the furnace to two-thirds the melting point creating a spongy state.  In the spongy state, materials can “stick” to each other and re-harden as a bonded pair.  Sintered materials are not as uniformed, strong or pure compared to materials that are melted.

What is the structure?

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

Can i get sample in free , how long is the time?

Yes, certainly. We will provide the sample is in free below 5 kgs for free, and the freight cost for free in 1kg. We could arrange the existing samples express delivery immediately. For any special samples requirement, it

What does the form factor (grain shape) indicate?

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.

What is a silane coating used for?

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

Coarseness of the abrasive mineral:

Commonly referred to as “grit”, this number designation is determined by the amount of abrasive mineral that can pass through a mesh screen with specific size openings. Therefore, a 40 grit abrasive particle will pass through a mesh

How about your delivery time?

Generally, it will take 30 to 60 days after receiving your advance payment. The specific delivery time depends .on the items and the quantity of your order.

What does the term “flow properties” mean?

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
