abrasives

listen to the pronunciation of abrasives
Englisch - Englisch
Materials for grinding, polishing, blasting, either in loose form or bonded to form wheels, bricks, or files, or applied to paper and cloth by glue or resin Natural abrasives include emery, corundum, garnet, sand, flint, etc Metallic shot and grit are also used as abrasives in cleaning castings
Natural and synthetic materials in fine granular form incorporated in buffing compounds and attached to cloth or paper Abrasives are generally used in grades of coarse to fine and may be identified by a numerical system (paper- and cloth-backed abrasives) For example, number 400 is relatively fine and number 80 coarse Not all abrasives are identified by number
Gritty additives used to increase scouring ability May scratch some surfaces in use
Substances rubbed on wood to smooth the surface Flint, garnet, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide are common abrasives
Any type of material or substance used for grinding
Sharp, hard materials used to wear away the surface of softer, less resistant materials. Abrasives are indispensable to the manufacture of the highly precise components and ultrasmooth surfaces required in the manufacture of automobiles, airplanes and space vehicles, mechanical and electrical appliances, and machine tools. Abrasives may be natural (e.g., diamond, corundum, emery) or synthetic (e.g., silicon carbide or Carborundum, synthetic diamond, alumina a synthetic form of corundum). They range from the relatively soft particles used in household cleansers and jeweler's polish to diamonds

Abrasive
A finely divided, hard, refractory material ranging from 6 to 10 on the Mohs scale, used to reduce, smooth, clean or polish the surfaces of other less hard substances, such as glass, plastic, stone, wood etc Natural abrasive materials include diamond dust, garnet, sand (silica), corundum (Al oxide, emery), pumice, rouge (Fe oxide), & feldspar; the more important synthetic types are SiC, B carbide, Ce oxide & fused alumina Abrasives in powder form are used in several ways: (1) Applied directly to the surface to be treated by mechanical pressure or compressed-air blast, as in cleaning building stone(2) Affixed to a paper or textile backing after the particles have been coated with an adhesive(3) Mixed with a bonding agent such as Na silicate or clay, the particles being compressed into a wheel rotated by a power-driven shaft
Abrasive
  Any of a number of hard materials, such as aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and diamond, that are powdered and carefully graded according to particle size, and used to shape and/or finish optical elements, including the endfaces of optical fibers and connectors   Note: For finishing the endfaces of optical fiber connectors, abrasive particles are adhered to a substrate of plastic film, in a fashion after that of sandpaper   The film is in turn supported by a hard, flat plate   The connector is supported by a fixture that holds it securely in the proper position for finishing   The grinding motion may be performed manually or by a machine   [After FAA]
