Typical Chemical Properties
Introduction
Americos Aluminum oxide is made from bauxite. Mixture of bauxite is
electrically fused at high temperature in an arc furnace and Americos
Aluminum oxide is thus produced. Americos Aluminum oxide has brown color,
high hardness and great toughness.
The abrasive tools made of aluminum oxide are suitable for
sand
blasting for Denim, Grinding carbon steel, normal alloy steel, malleable
cast iron and hard bronze.
It is ideal for sand blasting for Denim fabric because of
less iron
content. Due to very less iron content, damage to fabric is very less
compared to any ordinary aluminum oxide. It can work at very high pressure,
which is a major requirement for high production.
