May 15, 2018 - The new Ceramic Ultra-X grain is manufactured in a new way that results in a much finer crystalline structure. Such a unique mineral fracture provides the abrasive product with a longer life, and more aggressive grains with an improved self-sharpening effect.

Significant performance advantages include a higher metal removal rate at faster cutting speeds with a lower grinding temperature and less friction. All of which correlate to shorter cycle times and less disc changes, resulting in reduced cost per part and an excellent cost/performance ratio.

In addition, the Ceramic Ultra-X line is top-sized. A top-sized product can positively impact the workpiece through a reduction in metal discoloration/oxidation, as well as minimal heat related stress cracks. It can also benefit the abrasive through reduced loading, glazing and dulling.

Unitized material comes in various thicknesses, sizes and densities and allows you to finish materials in a simple and consistent manner. Unitized material differs from traditional abrasive materials because it combines aggressive action with an excellent finish. It is indispensible in finishing processes that use stainless steel.

Cubic Boron Nitride abrasive, part of the Flex-Hone line, combines the highest hardness with excellent toughness to provide the optimum surface finish in materials like Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hasteloy, Invar and Rene. Flex-Honing is a low pressure, low temperature abrasive finishing process making it an ideal solution in these difficult to finish materials. The tool reduces the work-hardened layer produced by machining operations without imparting thermally induced distortion. The resulting surface is less prone to oxidation and stress induced cracking. Sizes from 4mm to 20mm are standard in three different mesh sizes.

ADVANTAGE ceramic grinding discs are 100 percent more aggressive than a standard aluminum oxide grinding wheel and 70 percent lighter than a conventional grinding wheel. The state-of-the-art ceramic grain combined with the proprietary backing creates a disc with the toughness of a grinding wheel and the rapid material removal of a resin fiber disc. The ergonomic modified Type 29 shape provides greater disc contact on the work surface to improve metal removal speed. ADVANTAGE is available in both 4-1/2 in. and 5 in. discs sizes in 36 grit for fast stock removal, and 50 grit for a more refined surface finish.
