Why Do We Use Abrasive Grinding Discs?

Abrasive grinding discs are one of the easiest ways to finish an edge on a piece of metal. This is possible because of the difference in materials: silicon carbide and aluminum oxide. The silicon carbide is even harder than hardened steel, so it easily removes a finished edge (closer to the final angle) without damaging itself or the work piece surface. It can also be cut into granite and brick due to its hardness. However, the silicon carbide is more brittle than aluminum oxide, so it will fracture if abused.  Abrasive grinding discs are a type of grinding wheels used for various applications in manufacturing and brands. Generally, they are used to grind materials such as metals and non-metals, although other materials can be used as well. Grinding discs are made from different materials, therefore, differently from the grinding wheels. The raw material used to manufacture these discs is processed into discs under pressure and heat. There are various types of grinding discs which inc
