Abrasive Material Types and Industrial Applications of Abrasives

ABRASIVE MATERIAL TYPES INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
OF ABRASIVES

Abrasives are typically made of hard metals used
to shape or complete a piece of work in various
industrial and domestic applications for
woodworking and metalwork. In general, abrasives
are used by hand or machine to grind wood or
mineral pieces away. It gives a sleek, elegant,
or finished look or slowly carries away a part of
the material until the aspirated form is achieved.

TYPES OF ABRASIVE MATERIAL
Abrasives are divided into two main sections
synthetic and natural. Synthetic abrasives are
intended for the reconstruction of organic
material and are manufactured instead of
excavated. The classification of abrasives
(unnatural) mainly includes two names coated and
bonded abrasives.

• Bonded Abrasives
• Coated Abrasives

WHAT IS BACKING TYPES?
Paper, cloth, film, or fiber are the abrasive
backing variants. Backing, adhesive, and metals
compose the coated abrasive structure. Basically,
there are two types of backing

• Paper Backing
• Cloth Backing

APPLICATIONS OF ABRASIVES
Buffing The buffing is polishing smoothening a
workpiece surface using an abrasives wheel or
Buffing products.
Honing Honing is an abrasive machining process
that provides a sharp surface on a metal
(example Knife) by scrubbing an abrasive
grinding stone or grinding wheel.
Drilling Drilling is a cutting method that uses
a drill bit to cut a circular cross-section hole
in solid (metal, wood) materials.

Sharpening Sharpening creates a sharp edge on a
tool using abrasives of finishing or designed for
cutting.
Grinding Grinding is an abrasive machining
process that uses a grinding wheel as the cutting
tool. A Grinding wheel is an abrasive tool with
thousands of cutting points on its surface to
achieve precise finishes.
Polishing Polishing is a finishing process for
smoothing a workpiece's surface using an abrasive
wheel or a leather strop.
Cutting The cutting tool, as the name implies,
is used in machining technology for cutting
operations. A cutting tool is a sharp-edged
device to shear off the excess material layer
from the workpiece to give it the perfect shape
and finishing.
