What Is F Grade Brown Fused Alumina?

▸ F Grade Brown Fused Alumina is screened according to bonded abrasive grit requirements and is mainly used in abrasive wheel and tool production.

▸ It provides a balance of high hardness and toughness for grinding, cutting and deburring applications.

▸ SEPPE supplies common F grits for resin bonded wheels, vitrified wheels, mounted points, stones and abrasive blocks.

Key Performance Characteristics

FEPA F Grade Control: Screening focuses on stable grit distribution for bonded abrasive structure and grinding consistency.

High Toughness: Brown fused alumina grain resists excessive breakage in grinding wheel operation.

Consistent Chemistry: Controlled Al₂O₃ and impurity levels support reliable abrasive performance.

Magnetic Separation: Reduced magnetic material helps improve grain cleanliness for abrasive production.

Flexible Supply: Coarse, medium and fine F grit sizes can be supplied according to customer formulation.
