Zirconia Grinding Disc — Adhesive Backed
What This Product Is
Zirconia-alumina grinding disc with PSA adhesive backing, for coarse grinding of harder materials on rotary platens. Zirconia-alumina's toughness gives high material removal and long disc life on hard, wear-resistant specimens, and the adhesive backing mounts quickly on standard platens.
Intended Use in Metallography
Used for coarse planar grinding of harder materials, after sectioning, on rotary grinding systems. Selected when:
- Grinding hard or wear-resistant materials that dull SiC quickly
- High material removal and long disc life are wanted
- A quick-mounting adhesive disc suits the platen
Typical Applications
- Hardened steels and wear-resistant materials
- Coarse initial grinding of tough specimens on rotary platens
Beyond metallography, zirconia grinding discs are also used in:
- Ceramics and hard advanced materials
- Tool and die and general hard-material grinding
When This Product Is NOT Ideal
- For fine grinding or finishing (use finer SiC or diamond discs)
