Advantages of white fused alumina in the sandblasting process

Mondo Collection Updated on 2024-02-23

White fused alumina, a high-performance abrasive, is made from alumina powder that is melted at high temperatures and cooled rapidly. It has the following application advantages in the abrasive blasting process:

1.White fused alumina has a very high hardness of 7-8 on the Mohs scale, so it can provide strong cutting force and grinding effect during the sandblasting process, and is especially suitable for the surface treatment of hard materials.

2.White fused alumina abrasives have excellent wear resistance and can still maintain good grinding results after multiple uses, reducing the frequency of abrasive replacement and reducing costs.

3.Compared to other types of artificial abrasives, white fused alumina retains its sharpness for a longer period of time, which allows it to maintain consistently high cutting power in abrasive blasting operations.

4.Due to its excellent physical properties, white fused alumina is suitable for sandblasting of various metallic and non-metallic materials, such as aviation, automotive, shipbuilding, casting, construction and other industries.

5.White fused alumina abrasives produce less dust during use and provide a cleaner surface finish, which is especially important for sandblasting operations that require high cleanliness.

6.White corundum has good self-sharpening, that is, it can wear itself during the grinding process, constantly producing new cutting edges, so as to maintain the grinding efficiency.

7.Although white fused alumina is more cost-effective than some other abrasives such as silicon carbide, it can provide better cost-effectiveness in the long run due to its durability and efficiency.

8.Compared with other abrasives, white fused alumina has less impact on the environment during production and use, and is more in line with the requirements of modern industry for environmental protection.

When choosing white fused alumina as a sandblasting abrasive, you also need to consider factors such as particle size distribution, shape, and purity, which will affect the sandblasting effect and cost. Therefore, it is necessary to select the appropriate white fused alumina abrasive according to the workpiece material, surface treatment requirements and sandblasting equipment for specific applications.
