Ceramic Media Compositions

Ceramic Media Compositions

Standard Compositions

AX-44

  • Very hard, long lasting composition used for light deburring and fine finishing
  • Retains its sharp edges and points for a long time
  • Give parts a clean and bright finish
  • Can be used as a carrier for abrasive compounds

AX-90

  • High versatile composition having good cutting action and long wear
  • Will work in a wide variety of deburring, de-flashing and radiusing applications
  • Will do an excellent burnishing job

AX-65

  • Fast cutting composition fitting between AX-90 and the ultra-fast cutting compositions
  • Provides a higher rate of metal removal than AX-90, with only a slightly higher media loss
  • Recommended for obtaining short time cycles on medium and heavy burrs and will leave parts with a clean semi-matte finish

AH-41

  • The most aggressive cutting media available.
  • Great amounts of cutdown in short time cycles and still retains good wear characteristics
  • Leaves parts with a mette finish
  • Recommended for all heavy deburring operations

Specialty Compositions

C

  • Silicon carbide based composition containing no aluminum oxide
  • Combines a medium cutting action with long life
  • Recommended for parts having no oxide impregnation
  • Produces a clean finish on all parts

CS-46

  • Fast cutting composition this is silicon carbide based containing no aluminum oxide
  • Recommended for parts having no oxide impregnation
  • Gives parts a matte finish

SJ

  • Available in spherical shapes only
  • An aggressive cutting action
  • Good for general to heavy deburring, producing short time cycles

High Density Compositions

H-33

  • Medium cut, long life composition well suited for high energy equipment
  • Will develop smooth and bright finishes
  • A bauxite based formula containing no fused aluminum oxide

F-33

  • A general purpose high density composition having good wear life
  • Very durable and fracture resistant composition able to stand up to pressures generated in large vibrators and high energy equipment
  • The greater weight per cubic foot of the high density composition allows faster radius and deburring of parts than standard compositions

SP-3

  • Combines the fast cutting qualities of AX-65 with the high density and fracture resistance of F-33
  • Greater weight gives it an excellent cutting force, increasing with load size
  • Able to develop low micro finishes on hard metal parts

F-36

  • The fastest cutting of the high density compositions
  • Combines short time cycle with low micro finishes

N

  • A non-abrasive, high density media used for burnishing and brightening metal parts
  • Very long lasting
  • Requires a break-in period to develop best finishes
  • Good for chemically accelerated processes

Random Shaped

Fortune XA

  • Random shape, aluminum oxide abrasive
  • Fast cutting media for use in the general finishing of ferrous metals, plastics and rubber
  • Combines good cut with long life, and deburrs and finishes in one operation
  • Recommended for parts where lodging problem is not critical

Fortune XB

  • Extra tough, random shaped aluminum oxide abrasive
  • Designed for the finishing and burnishing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
  • It’s a unique “coloring” abrasive, extremely durable, which makes it ideal for light burr removal, radius formation and surface refinements
  • Imparts high luster finishes on practically all types of metals
  • Close sizing minimizes wedging in work pieces
