Vitrified Bonds

3.2.1 Chemistry and Types of Vitrified Bonds Vitrified bonds consist of silicates (red and white clay), kaolin (also known as white clay, Al2Si2O5(OH)4), field spar (KAlSi3O8-NaAlSi3O8-CaAl2Si2O8), quartz (also known as silicon oxide, SiO2), and frits, i. e. pre-molten bonding components [BEYE04, HADE66, PADB93, JACK11, p. 92]. The bond is sintered at temper­atures above 800 °C […]

Comparison of Sintered Corundum and Molten Corundum

The most dramatic differences in performance occur between the grinding behavior of molten and sintered corundum. The introduction of sintered corundum led to tremendous tool life enhancements. The higher wear resistance and larger material removal rates of micro crystalline corundum compared to molten corundum results not only from the higher tough­ness of the abrasive material […]
