MATERIALS

THE ABRASIVES

The abrasive is the main component that gives the wheel the ability to perform precise machining.

Each individual grain of abrasive precisely removes tiny fragments of the material being worked.

The main abrasives used in the production processes of our wheels include:

Corindone
CORUNDUM
Carburo di Silicio
SILICON CARBIDE

CORUNDUM

A chemical product obtained by melting pure alumina minerals in an electric furnace, classified according to the content of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and the additives present. Main types include:

A96

Red-brown corundum with 96% Al2O3, generally used for roughing of steels.

A99B

Precious white corundum with 99.5% Al2O3, very sharp and relatively fragile, used for grinding and sharpening heat-treated alloy steels.

A96B

Special blend of corundum, gray in color, for deburring common and stainless steels.

A99DR

Precious pink corundum with 99.5% Al2O3, very sharp and has good toughness.

A99DR96

Special blend of corundum, pink-black in color, suitable for deburring cast iron.

A99OC

Special ruby-colored corundum with high chromium oxide content, which gives it excellent toughness; suitable for grinding and sharpening operations where profile retention is crucial.

SILICON CARBIDE

Obtained from the chemical combination of pure carbon and silicon during a high-temperature process in an electric furnace, corundums occur in crystals of varying colors, which can be shiny black, gray, or light green. Despite their high hardness, they are also brittle and are mainly used in the processing of materials less resistant to tension, such as cast iron, aluminum, copper, and brass, but also in extremely hard materials such as carbide, glass, and ceramics. The main types of corundums include:

Corindone

CW/VC

Light green silicon carbide. Highly recommended for the processing of carbide tools, marble, and granite.

Carburo di Silicio

CW/VC

Dark green silicon carbide. Suitable for grinding cast iron and non-ferrous materials.
