Flexhone. Selecting the proper abrasive for the proper job!

Abrasives
Abrasives


Abrasive selection is largely dependent on the base material being finished and whether the application is for surface finishing or deburring.

Silicon carbide is by far the most popular abrasive type. It is used to finish mild steel, stainless steel and cast iron.

Aluminum Oxide is the next most popular abrasive and it is used to finish non ferrous materials like aluminum, brass, bronze, softer metals and plated cylinders.

Zirconia Alumina (Z-Grain) has very similar cutting properties to silicon carbide and can generally offer longer tool life. It is available in two grades: #1525 (25% Zirconia, 75% Alumina) and #1549 (40% Zirconia and 60% alumina). It is used to finish low carbon to medium carbon steels, stainless steel and cast iron.

Boron Carbide is used to finish medium to high carbon steels and heat-treated steels to 50 Rc. It is also useful in titanium, Inconel and Monel. Tungsten Carbide is used for the high carbon steel alloys and more exotic space age alloys.

Levigated Alumina is a super fine abrasive used for a final polish on many materials. This abrasive should be used where Ra requirements are very low.

Jokes of the Month:

Three Women . . .

Three women went down to Mexico one night to celebrate college graduation. They got drunk and woke up in jail, only to find that they are to be executed in the morning, though none of them can remember what they did the night before.
The first one is strapped in the electric chair and is asked if she has any last words. She says, "I just graduated from Trinity Bible College and believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on the behalf of the innocent." They throw the switch and nothing happens. They all immediately fall to the floor on their knees, beg for forgiveness, and release her.
The second woman is strapped in and gives her last words. "I just graduated from Indiana University School of Law, and I believe in the power of Justice to intervene on the behalf of the innocent." They throw the switch and again, nothing happens. Again, they all immediately fall to their knees, beg for forgiveness, and release her.
The last one,  is strapped in and says, "Well, I'm from the University of Kentucky and just graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and I'll tell ya'll right now, ya ain't gonna electrocute nobody if you don't plug that thing in."
