ABRASIVES

• A Type Of Hard Material

2
What is Abrasive?

• An abrasive is a type of very hard material and
  it can be used in many different ways at home, in
  industry, and in technology.
• Abrasives are used to finish or shape a work
  piece.
• Rubbing the abrasive on the workpiece leads to
  part of the workpiece being worn away.
• When finishing a material it is often thought of
  as a means to polish the material to gain a
  smooth surface or even reflective surface
  however some finishes require roughening as in
  beaded, matte or satin finishes.

Abrasion Mechanism

• Different kinds of abrasives are made for
  different jobs. Generally abrasives can be
  classified into synthetic or natural.
• Natural abrasives are minerals or rocks of great
  hardness, which are born in the earths crust and
  are extracted and processed to manufacture
  abrasive tools. They are used to give shape or
  finish to a piece, or other materials of lesser
  hardness, through friction or rubbing.
• Synthetic abrasives, on the other hand, are the
  product of considerable processing of raw
  materials or chemical precursors they include
  silicon carbide, synthetic diamond, and alumina
  (a synthetic form of corundum).

Abrasion Mechanism

• Both synthetic and natural Abrasives can be found
  in a wide variety of shapes, they are often
  coated or bonded abrasives including grinding
  wheels, blocks, discs, belts, rods, loose grain
  and sheets.

Bonded Abrasives
7

• Bonded Abrasives are an abrasive material
  contained within a matrix. Bonded Abrasives are
  required to be dressed after they are used. Visit
  our Abrasives section to know more about Bonded
  Abrasives.

Coated Abrasives
9

• Coated Abrasives are also minerals that are used
  in the same way as bonded abrasives. A coated
  abrasive is an abrasive fixed on to a form of
  backing material like paper, metal, rubber,
  resin, cloth and polyester. Sandpaper is a best
  example of coated abrasive. Visit our Abrasives
  section to know more about Coated Abrasives

Super Abrasives
11

• Super Abrasives are one of a group of relatively
  expensive but effective materials possessing
  superior hardness and abrasion resistance. Super
  Abrasives include cubic boron nitride (CBN) and
  diamond. Super Abrasives have been developed to
  meet the needs of modern industry.
