Shot Peening and Blasting > Shot Peening and Blasting Media > Brown Aluminum Oxide

 Aluminum Oxide is one of the most economical processing medias for many dry and wet process applications where anything from a coarse profile to a micro finish is required.

This sharp and angular abrasive is the second hardest mineral after diamond and is especially suitable when no ferrous contamination can be tolerated on the processed surface.

It can be used for the roughest cutting-down operations or in well-conditioned, pebbled form for producing very low micro-inch finishes on precision dimensioned parts. Its high density and sharp, angular structure make it one of the fastest cutting abrasives available.

Its crystalline nature contributes to their hard and fast cutting properties. It is also applied widely in bonded and coated abrasives manufacture.

Brown fused alumina is made from high quality bauxite by fusing in an electric arc furnace at high temperature. It has light brown color, good toughness and high hardness, also can bear great pressure and has a good anti-crushing ability. It is suitable for wet and dry blasting sand, lapping polishing and making bonded and coated abrasive tools for super precision carbon steel, alloy steel, malleable iron, hardened bronze and semi conduction materials.It can be also used to make superior refractory products.
