White Fused Alumina

White fused alumina is a chemical compound produced by the crystallization of molten Bayer alumina feedstock in an electric arc furnace. The compound may also be known as white corundum. Its properties make it an ideal abrasive material for a variety of applications.

Synthetic abrasive

White fused alumina (WFA) is a synthetic abrasive material that is made from a high-quality aluminium oxide, 99 percent Al2O3. It is hard and durable and has excellent resistance to most chemicals. It is also a highly homogeneous material that contains no crystalline silica. This material is used in manufacturing high-grade abrasive tools.

High purity

High purity white fused alumina is a common ingredient in a wide variety of industrial products. The white, friable alumina is also used in the manufacture of vitrified bonded abrasives. These abrasives have a fast, cool cutting action, and are used in a variety of applications. Other common applications for white fused alumina include coatings, refractories, and ceramic tiles.

Application

The white fused alumina market has grown significantly in recent years. This is due to its excellent performance and recognition for various applications. It is commonly used in grinding wheels, sandpaper, and blasting media. It also plays an important role in the refractory and ceramic industries.

Particle shapes

White fused alumina, commonly known as white aluminum oxide, is a white powder that forms from the crystallization of molten Bayer alumina feedstock in an electric arc furnace. This material has a transparent crystal microstructure and a white color and is used in a wide range of industrial applications. Washington Mills manufactures this product in a variety of particle shapes and sizes to meet specific requirements.

Applications in refractories

White fused alumina has a wide range of applications in the refractory industry. It is used in ceramic shapes, blasting media, and refractory bearing plates. It can also be customized to suit individual requirements. It is obtained by calcining high-purity alumina. It has an excellent chemical and mechanical stability and a high melting point.

Comparison with brown fused alumina

Comparing the two types of alumina, it is important to consider the alumina content of each. Although both types have high alumina content, their appearances differ substantially. For example, white fused alumina is white, while brown fused alumina is brown-black.
