Grinding Products.3M has introduced a line of flexible grinding grinding, process by which surface material is removed from an object, usually metal, by the abrasive action of a rotating wheel or a moving belt that contains abrasive grains. wheels that are strong and slimmed down for improved grinding and blending on a variety of metals, The Green Corps flexible grinding wheels contain a patented Cubitron abrasive abrasive, material used to grind, smooth, cut, or polish another substance. Natural abrasives include sand, pumice, corundum, and ground quartz. Carborundum (silicon carbide) and alumina (aluminum oxide) are important synthetically produced abrasives. grain, an advanced ceramic aluminum oxide aluminum oxide: see alumina. mineral. The mineral makes the wheel cut faster, and the high cut rate is designed to increase efficiency and productivity while leaving a uniform finish. The wheel's 0.125in. profile leads to smoother running with less tendency for vibration, reducing operator fatigue. The wheels are designed for slag removal, descaling and heavy deburring, and removing gates and risers in a variety of metals, including mild steel, iron, stainless steel stainless steel: see steel. stainless steel Any of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10–30% chromium. The presence of chromium, together with low carbon content, gives remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. , aluminum and carbon steel. Available sizes include 4.5 x 0.125 x 0.875 in. and 7 x 0.125 x 0.875 in. in grades 36, 46, 60 and 80.--3M Corp. |
