Advantages

Key features

High grinding efficiency: sharp, self-sharpening calcined alumina grains provide low grinding resistance and fast cutting.

Excellent heat dissipation: the ventilated flap structure and stability of black calcined abrasive help reduce sparks and surface discoloration, particularly on heat-sensitive materials such as stainless steel.

Long service life: high-temperature calcining improves grain toughness and wear resistance for heavy-duty conditions.

Good flexibility and low noise: flexible abrasive cloth flaps follow curved surfaces and weld profiles with low-noise operation.

Coordinated wear: abrasive cloth and backing wear together to maximize abrasive use.

Product details

About this product

Product Overview

Calcined alumina flap discs combine grinding and polishing in a high-performance coated abrasive tool. Specially calcined abrasive cloth flaps are evenly arranged in a fan pattern and bonded to a backing plate for use on angle grinders.

Calcining increases abrasive hardness and thermal stability, keeping the grains sharp during high-speed grinding. The disc combines the stock-removal capability of a grinding wheel with the finish of a polishing wheel, reducing processing steps and costs.

Core Performance Advantages

High grinding efficiency: sharp, self-sharpening calcined alumina grains provide low grinding resistance and fast cutting.

Excellent heat dissipation: the ventilated flap structure and stability of black calcined abrasive help reduce sparks and surface discoloration, particularly on heat-sensitive materials such as stainless steel.

Long service life: high-temperature calcining improves grain toughness and wear resistance for heavy-duty conditions.

Good flexibility and low noise: flexible abrasive cloth flaps follow curved surfaces and weld profiles with low-noise operation.

Coordinated wear: abrasive cloth and backing wear together to maximize abrasive use.

Typical Applications

Metalworking: weld grinding, slag removal, deburring and fine surface finishing of stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum alloys and cast iron

Heavy industry: heavy-duty grinding and polishing in shipbuilding, automotive manufacturing, metallurgy and steel fabrication

General maintenance: rust removal, casting cleaning and stripping old coatings

Non-metals: dressing and surface preparation of stone, wood and plastics

Choose the disc type:

T27 (flat): suitable for flat-surface grinding

T29 (conical): suitable for welds, edges, bevels and contoured surfaces

Choose the backing: high-strength fiberglass plates suit heavy-duty work; economical plastic plates suit light to medium grinding.

Selection Guide

Check that the outside diameter (100-180 mm) and bore (16 or 22.23 mm) match the angle grinder.

Choose grit size for the application:

Coarse grinding (36#-60#): heavy stock removal, initial weld grinding and casting cleaning

Intermediate grinding (80#-120#): general grinding and surface finishing

Fine grinding (180#-400#): fine polishing and surface finishing

Choose the backing: reinforced mesh or metal plates suit heavy-duty work; economical plastic plates suit light to medium grinding.

Choose the disc type: T27 flat discs suit flat surfaces; T29 conical discs suit welds, edges, bevels and contoured surfaces.

Safe Use Instructions

Ensure the product's maximum rated speed is at least equal to the angle grinder speed and mount it correctly.

Wear personal protective equipment, including protective goggles, a face shield, earplugs and a dust mask.
