Abrasives are a hard material, substance or mineral which is used to grinding, abrading, scouring, removing, and shaping of solid materials, hard surfaces or work pieces, through the process of rubbing and cleaning. The primary physical properties of this material made of materials such as rubber, clay, resin or glass, include hardness, friability, toughness, grain shape and size, and degree of purity, as it should have a strong bonding affinity and should be able to withstand heat.
A type of abrasives, called as coated abrasives, are fixed to a backing material such as paper, cloth, resin, polyester or metal, and are used in the form of grinding wheels, sandpapers, honing stones, polishes, and a number of other tools. Abrasives are used in a wide range of industrial sectors, including industrial, domestic, technological and commercial in a range of processes that includes buffing, honing, cutting, polishing, drilling, sanding, and sharpening to shape or finish a work piece. Highly precise components and ultra-smooth work pieces are made with the help of abrasives.
Increasing demand in grinding and polishing applications in end-use industries such as in the manufacture of automobiles, airplanes, spacecraft, mechanical devices, electrical appliances, and machine tools, is expected to boost the market. These products play a vital role in the manufacturing of automotive components, in modifying operating parameters such as lowering noise levels and reducing high-performance engine carbon dioxide emissions and component machining.
Synthetic abrasives can be used for varied applications due to variable grain shape, making changes in the purity, and by controlling the crystal structure within the grains. Their increasing usage in the automotive industry is the prime factor driving their demand. Synthetic abrasives are the products made from the processing of chemical precursors or raw materials. These include synthetic diamond, silicon carbide, and alumina.
