Producing Fine Finishes
Whether a technical requirement or purely aesthetic, many industrial
markets value a final finish on their workpieces. We engineered our Standard Abrasives™
Metal Finishing Wheel to help produce the finishes users hope to
achieve. It's a good match for stainless steel fabricators and appliance
and food equipment manufacturers, because it can help with production
finishing of a variety of parts. Typical workpieces may include door
hardware, plumbing fixtures, aluminum extrusions, sanitary metal
containers and dairy equipment.
The Benefits of Aluminum Oxide
To engineer our Standard Abrasives™ Metal Finishing Wheel, we mix
aluminum oxide mineral and nonwoven nylon fibers with resin to create an
open web. Often, the mineral is paired with ferrous metals and
composites, as well as fiberglass and plastic. It cuts aggressively
without gouging or marring the substrate, maintaining original part
geometry and reducing the need for rework. Medium grade aluminum oxide
imparts decorative satin and antique finishes on stainless steel, brass
and aluminum.
Dense and Durable
The nonwoven nylon fibers in the open web break down while finishing,
exposing new mineral for a consistent cut. Moreover, gaps between the
fibers allow swarf to escape, so the web resists clogging with debris,
prolonging abrasive service life. Open web on the Metal Finishing Wheel
is densely and compactly wound around a fiberglass core. The dense and
durable construction helps the abrasive withstand greater contact
pressures and speed variations. Additionally, the wheel edge can also be
dressed to match part geometry if required. Combining aluminum oxide
mineral with a dense convolute wheel constructions makes for a tough
durable cutting wheel that requires minimal pressure. Moreover, the
wheel's density helps it stay firm and not deflect or yield to the
substrate, so it performs well on flat surfaces and edges.- Produces satin and antique finishes on a variety of metals
- Can be dressed to fit specific part geometry
- Rigid convolute wheel construction works well on flat surfaces and corners
- High cut rate requires low contact pressure
