Brown Fused Alumina for Metal Grinding
Reliable abrasive performance for precision grinding of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Why Use BFA for Metal Grinding?
Brown fused alumina (BFA) is widely used in metal grinding operations due to its high hardness, toughness, and recyclability. Whether in bonded grinding wheels or coated abrasives, BFA offers stable cutting performance across a range of metal substrates including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
- Mohs hardness 9.0 with high thermal stability
- Sharp, blocky grains for aggressive material removal
- Minimal loading or glazing even in extended use
Common Metal Grinding Applications
- Surface grinding of structural steel plates
- Centerless grinding of rods and bars
- Tool sharpening and edge restoration
- Deburring of metal components post-machining
BFA ensures controlled stock removal and surface integrity even in high-precision finishing processes.
Recommended Grit Sizes
- Rough grinding: F16–F36
- General purpose grinding: F46–F80
- Precision finishing: F100–F180
Custom grit specifications and blends are available for your bonded or coated abrasive requirements.
