What is Calcined Alumina Polishing?
Calcined alumina polishing refers to the use of thermally treated aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) powder for surface finishing applications. It offers exceptional hardness, thermal stability, and chemical purity—making it ideal for polishing hard substrates such as ceramics, metals, glass, and semiconductor components.
Why Choose Calcined Alumina for Polishing?
- High Mohs Hardness (9+): Enables effective material removal
- Controlled Particle Size: Ensures uniform polishing
- Excellent Thermal Resistance: Handles high-speed polishing
- Chemical Inertness: Ideal for cleanroom-level polishing
Typical Applications
- Metal polishing (e.g., stainless steel, titanium)
- Ceramic finishing (e.g., alumina substrates)
- Optics (glass, lenses)
- Semiconductors & HDDs
