Abrasives

In order to achieve superior finishes it is important to use lapping tools with only high quality abrasives. Our range of abrasive products is made to our exacting specifications for consistency. Stringent controls are in place to eliminate stray coarse particles that will cause scratching. Fine particles are also minimized providing you with faster stock removal and finishes better than other products in the same nominal micron size.

50/50 Series Diamond Lapping Compound can be used for many applications as it is both water and oil soluble and is formulated to withstand severe lapping conditions without loss of cutting quality. The use of a stable carrier assures sustained particle suspension throughout the process cycle. 50/50 compound’s unique blend of natural and manufactured diamonds also provides more surface coverage and improved impregnation of lapping tools.

OS is an oil based formula that provides superior lubrication and will not evaporate during the lapping process even when exposed to elevated temperatures.

White Aluminum Oxide

White aluminum oxide is used on ferrous materials, including stainless steel, with a hardness of up to Rc58. It breaks down during the lapping cycle, and the abrasive crystals have a somewhat rounded shape, providing finer finishes toward the end of the process.

Silicon Carbide

Silicon carbide can be used on ferrous materials up to Rc64 where fine finishes are not required. As it breaks down, the abrasive crystal forms a jagged cutting edge, producing scratch patterns similar to cross-hatch honed surfaces.

Boron Carbide

Boron carbide can lap materials harder than Rc60. Coarse grits are intended for fast cutting, while fine grits will produce extremely smooth finishes.

Garnet

Garnet is mainly used on soft materials such as brass, bronze, and aluminum. It breaks down continuously during the lapping cycle, delivering increasingly finer finishes as the process continues.
