Talking about abrasives from the grinding process, grinding process in China has a long history. As early as in ancient times, grinding stone axes, grinding bone needles and decorations of various materials were made by grinding. At that time, people used natural abrasives. At the end of the primitive commune and matriarchal society, various daily pottery with patterns and patterns could be fired. At that time, mineral materials containing iron oxide were mainly used as painting materials. This kind of painting material is also produced in the long-term grinding process.

As early as in ancient times, grinding stone axes, grinding bone needles and decorations of various materials were made by grinding. At that time, people used natural abrasives. At the end of the primitive commune and matriarchal society, various daily pottery with patterns and patterns could be fired. At that time, mineral materials containing iron oxide were mainly used as painting materials. This kind of painting material is also produced in the long-term grinding process.

Among the cultural relics unearthed in the Banpo Site Museum in Shaanxi Province, there are very delicate grinding tools 6,000 years ago. They are stone mortars and pestles used to process painting materials at that time. After thousands of years, the red color of iron oxide still faintly exists on the surface! Stone mill discs and stone mill rods for processing grain unearthed in the Zhengzhou area of Henan Province once shocked the world. This granitic grinding tool itself was made through difficult grinding processing. In the Yin and Qin and Han dynasties, the grinding of jade articles reached a peak. At that time, the ground jade was ground into hundreds of protrusions the size of soybean grains on a plane with a diameter of about 200mm and was very smooth and moist. The jade garment of Liang Wang Tomb in the Western Han Dynasty is made of more than 3000 jade pieces the size of copper coins decorated with gold threads. Each piece is perforated with 4 1mm holes, totaling more than 12000 small holes, the level of this grinding process is really unimaginable!

China is a country with an earlier grinding process in written records, such as the idiom "stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade", "as long as the work is deep, the iron pestle is ground into a needle"; in the Book of songs Qi'ao, "such as learning from each other, such as grinding" and so on. These valuable wealth, are our working people in the long-term grinding practice of the summary. In this period, "abrasives" are natural, to the modern period of artificial abrasives appeared.

It was not until 1877 that the Norton Company of the United States made the first ceramic grinding wheel using natural abrasives. It was not until the modern industrial period that artificial abrasives were widely used.
