Applications for SiC grinding discs in materialography

In materialography, high grade SiC grinding discs provides excellent removal rates and long service lives. The use of a SiC grinding disc is thus the right choice for many applications in materialographic practice. Silicon carbide on the SiC grinding disc, is a tried and tested classic abrasive with reliable properties. It is a synthetically manufactured compound of carbon and silicon. Silicon carbide is not only used in materialography and bound in SiC grinding discs. It is used in a wide variety of industries and can also be used in the form of a loose powder. An alternative to SiC grinding discs are diamond grinding discs or those made of cubic boron nitride. The preparation goal and the nature of the sample determine what is the peferrable grinding disc. In principle, it is recommended to pay attention to a reliable quality and a long service live when it comes to SiC grinding discs. However, this is also true for other consumables in materialography.
