Choosing the right abrasive: grinding requirements of different materials

Defining Abrasive Types

When focused on the manufacturer side of the Industry, selecting the right abrasive for achieving maximum effectiveness is very important.   Abrasives are materials used to scrape, rub, or reshape other materials through friction.   They can be in the form of sanding belts, polishing tools, or grinding wheels, which are used for designated purposes.   At FANTECH, we have maintained different types of abrasive tools and actively assist our clients’ operations with them.

Types Of Abrasives Depending On The Material Used

Each material has different properties and thus a different abrasive will be needed for grinding the specific material.   For example, a cutting disc is a standard tool for metal fabrication that cuts at defined angles, while a grinding wheel that sits behind the cutting edge withstands a lot of heat.   Because there are a variety of wood types, there will be a requirement for sanding belts to help achieve the desired results.  So in essence, different types of abrasives are required to cut through different materials.  On our catalog, you can find also available abrasives at FANTECH which are specific for the said properties of any given material.

Precision and Durability

When looking for an appropriate tool, an abrasive’s precision and durability are paramount.   For finishing work, effective abrasives are fine-grit, whereas coarse-grit is effective on heavy stock removal.   Here at FANTECH, we have a range of abrasives that range from light to heavy use so that wherever we go our customers needs can be satisfied and they are provided with the best grinding to match their requirements.
