The terminology of abrasives is widely used in the industry, but it is necessary to really understand it in order to better apply it. Yi Li Da will tell you the explanation of 21 kinds of abrasives. 1. Abrasive: the material that plays a cutting role in grinding, grinding and polishing. 2. Bulk density: the mass of abrasive particles in the unit volume of air under the condition of natural accumulation, in g/cm³

The terminology of abrasives is widely used in the industry, but it is necessary to really understand it in order to better apply it. Yi Li Da will tell you the explanation of 21 kinds of abrasives.

1. Abrasive: Material that plays a cutting role in grinding, grinding and polishing

2. Bulk density: the mass of abrasive particles per unit volume of air in the case of natural accumulation of abrasive particles, in g/cm³

3. Natural abrasives: abrasives made directly from natural ore and rock after picking, crushing, grading or other processing

4. Capillary phenomenon: The abrasive particles are installed in a glass test tube with a certain diameter, and the lower end is immersed in water. In a given time, the height of the water rising (mm)

5. artificial abrasives: artificial method of refining or synthetic abrasive, abrasive abrasive flying abrasive is artificial abrasive.

6. Rest angle: the angle between the conical surface and the bottom surface of the cone formed by the abrasive sample falling on the horizontal metal plate through the funnel from a certain height. The angle of repose is generally calculated from the diameter and height of the cone.

7. Abrasive: flying abrasive by artificial method into a specific particle size, used to produce cutting material allowance grinding, polishing and grinding tools of granular materials

8. Specific surface area per unit mass of abrasive, in m2/g

9. Coarse grinding: the diameter of abrasive grains of 4-220 grit. The number 12 or above of the flying abrasive should be processed by special technology and customized in advance.

10 Impact toughness: impact resistance and crushing performance of abrasives

11. Micro-powder: ordinary abrasive not coarser than 240 grit number, abrasive grain or superhard abrasive abrasive grain finer than 36/54 μm

12. Compressive strength: single abrasive grain under static pressure, crushing load value, unit N

13. Free abrasive grains; abrasive grains directly subjected to grinding or polishing in a free state

14. Single crystal: crystal atomic arrangement is very regular, with regular shape and anisotropy

15. Grit size: a measure of the size and diameter of abrasive grains

16. Polycrystal: A crystal shape consisting of many small grains with different tendencies

17. Particle size No.: the grading mark of the abrasive grain size and diameter according to the executive standard

18. Grain size composition: a combination of grading marks made by the size of a nominal grit number.

19. Magnetic objects: general designation of the magnetic properties of magnetic substances in abrasive grains

20. Mixed particle size: by two or more than two kinds of particle size number of abrasive particles mixed according to the set proportion of abrasive particle size
