What is a polishing material?

Polishing materials are metal, stainless steel, and hardware that use powder mixtures such as alumina and cerium oxide to treat workpieces (such as deburring, sharpening, and oxide scale).

What is grinding powder?

Grinding powder is a material used to improve and polish metal and other workpieces, as well as a powder with surface allowance or roughness.

What is metal polishing material grinding powder?

Polishing material grinding powder is usually composed of components such as cerium oxide, alumina, silicon oxide, iron oxide, zirconia, chromium oxide, etc. Different materials have different hardness and chemical properties in water, resulting in different usage scenarios.

Technical Requirements for Grinding Powder of Domestic Metal Polishing Materials

The Mohs hardness of alumina and chromium oxide is 9, cerium oxide and zirconia are 7, and iron oxide is even lower. Cerium oxide has high chemical activity and comparable hardness with silicate glass, making it widely used for polishing glass. In order to increase the polishing speed of cerium oxide, fluorine is usually added to the cerium oxide grinding powder to increase the grinding rate. Mixed rare earth grinding powders with low cerium content are usually doped with 3-8% fluorine; Pure cerium oxide grinding powder is usually not doped with fluorine. For ZF or F series glass, due to its low hardness and high fluorine content in the material itself, it is better to choose fluorine-free grinding powder.

Firstly, it has a high purity and does not contain mechanical impurities;

Secondly, it has good dispersibility to ensure the uniformity and efficiency of the processing process. An appropriate amount of dispersant can be added to improve the suspension rate;

Thirdly, the particle size of the micro powder should be uniform and consistent within the allowable range;

Fourthly, the metal polishing material grinding powder has appropriate hardness and density, and has good wettability and suspension with water, as the grinding powder needs to be mixed with water

Fifth, the powder particles have a certain lattice shape, which forms sharp edges when broken to improve polishing efficiency.
