Description

GNPGraystar’s Black Aluminum Oxide is produced by fusing bauxite, iron oxide, and other elements in an arc-furnace. The resulting product has a moderate hardness, high toughness, high temperature resistance, good thermal stability, and excellent self-sharpening.

This material data has been provided by GNPGraystar Specialty Materials.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.

Application areas

GNPGraystar’s Black Aluminum Oxide, due to its thermal stability and low heat generation when polishing, is used to polish metal pieces, especially stainless steel, producing a high smooth finish with little surface discoloration. It is also used in resin bonded abrasives, blasting applications, as anti-skid surfacing material, abrasive belts, flap wheels, fiber wheels, and other polishing & lapping applications.
