Abrasive materials are substances used for wearing away or shaping other materials through a process known as abrasion. This process involves the removal of material from a workpiece's surface, leaving it smoother or reshaped. Abrasives can be natural or synthetic and come in various forms, such as grains, powders, or bonded materials.
Metallic abrasives are abrasive materials made from metallic substances & are composed of metal particles that are used for various abrasive applications.
Non-metallic abrasives, as the name suggests, are abrasive materials that are not composed of metallic substances. Instead, they are typically made from natural or synthetic non-metallic minerals, ceramics, or other composite materials. These abrasives are widely used for various cutting, grinding, polishing, and surface finishing applications.
Natural abrasives are abrasive materials that occur in nature and are harvested or extracted for use in various abrasive applications. These materials are typically minerals or rocks that have naturally occurring abrasive properties due to their hardness, composition, and structure.
