Fused alumina abrasive grain morphology: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

Conventional abrasive grains fracture prematurely during hardened steel grinding, leading to low energy efficiency and high scrap rates. Engineering the specific chemical content and grain mixture stabilizes the microstructure to increase mechanical yield.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Fused alumina abrasive grain morphology?

Low material removal efficiency

(3)evidences

Standard abrasive grains suffer from insufficient material removal rates and high energy consumption when processing hardened steel. Improving the yield energy and specific chemical resilience reduces tool wear and processing time.
