Once melted, a filler material is added to form a weld puddle that becomes a strong joint once cooled down. Abrasives serve an important purpose in the metalworking industry to remove the extra material, and smoothing out any inconsistencies.

ARC Engineered Solutions: Non Woven Overview

The cutting power of an abrasive grain is dependent upon shape, hardness, toughness, and orientation. All four factors control the penetration of cut, and the life of the grain. The shape of the grain governs the cutting efficiency. Sharper grains produce a cleaner cut and tend to stay cooler during use. Blocky grains give a rougher cut, and create more friction on the workpiece. It is understood that different applications require different types of abrasive grain.
