Norton Launches New High-Performance Coated Abrasive Fiber Discs That Last 50 to 200 Percent Longer!


-- Norton SG[R] BLAZE F980 Fiber Discs Generate the Lowest Total Cost on Stainless Steel stainless steel: see steel.

A very bright orange, often used to set something apart from its surroundings. Also called safety orange.
 - the new Norton SG (seeded gel) BLAZE F980 fiber discs have demonstrated in side-by-side production tests their ability to cut faster than any other disc, enabling manufacturers to lower total grinding costs on stainless steel, carbon and mild steel, and all weld grinding applications.

 grinding aid. The exceptional performance of Norton SG BLAZE F980 fiber discs is due to the outstanding wear resistance of the improved Norton SG grain, which leads to cooler, faster cutting. While traditional grain shapes are "blocky" and do not cut with optimum aggressiveness, this latest generation of sharper ceramic grains presents keener cutting edges to the work piece. In addition, each grain continually fractures in the grinding process, along sub-micron "faults" in the crystalline structures, to repeatedly expose new sharp cutting edges, resulting in greater disc durability, faster cut rate, and improved finish.

In on-the-job tests in the metal fabricating, welding welding, process for joining separate pieces of metal in a continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat. , and foundry markets, where cut rate and durability are of paramount importance, the Norton SG BLAZE F980 fiber discs have outperformed all competitive ceramic, zirconia and aluminum oxide aluminum oxide: see alumina.  discs.
