Usually when we discuss the properties of brown aluminum oxide, we tend to mention the hardness, content and the like. However, we seldom mention another property of brown aluminum oxide -- toughness. But actually, the toughness of brown aluminum oxide is also very important. So let's talk a little bit about what this toughness means for brown aluminum oxide.
First of all, let's learn about the concept of toughness. The toughness of abrasive refers to the ability of abrasive grains to resist crushing under the action of grinding force. It is an attribute of the ability of abrasive to resist impact and absorb energy.
If brown corundum has certain toughness, it will guarantee its service life. Meanwhile, toughness also has a great influence on the sharpness of brown aluminum oxide. The stronger the toughness is, the less likely it is to break, but it is easy to be passivated and result in the drops of grinding force, so these two functions are mutually exclusive.
Of course, there is also a limit to the toughness of brown aluminum oxide, which cannot be infinitely extended because of the contradictory properties of toughness and self-sharpness. Therefore, it is necessary for customers to determine the balance between toughness and self-sharpness according to their own needs.
