150x8000mm Ceramic Sanding Belt

Description

150x8000mm Ceramic Sanding Belt from Pilatus Abrasives

Ceramic sanding belts are making a significant impact on the quality and efficiency of metal grinding applications. They are very popular in the knife industry for finishing high carbon steel. Ceramic abrasives provide the longest life and fastest cut rate out of any other type of abrasive grain. Their structure is more uniform than zirconia and their micro-crystalline habit enables them to break down in a more controlled manner and be used in a broader range of applications, including:

• Aluminum castings
• Stainless steel finishing
• Titanium alloys (commonly used in aerospace applications)
• Mild steel mill scale

The micro-grain structure of ceramic sanding belts results in smaller fragments being broken away during the grinding process, which gives them a longer performance life than their zirconia counterparts. However, unlike zirconia, ceramic is especially sensitive to pressure and heat, so their use in such applications must be carefully engineered.
