White fused aluminium oxide is a pure form of aluminium oxide which is appropriate for use with stainless steel and also with aluminium. This iron-free and reusable blasting medium are angular, stiff, and hard. It has an influential abrasive effect on the exterior being blasted. White fused aluminum oxide belongs to the assembly of fused alumina. White Aluminum Oxide is attached from high-purity alumina powder in an electric furnace at high temperatures. It has bright white colour, unexpected hardness, and sharp edges; it is extremely resistant to corrosion, and the chemical stability with a high bulk density and a very low porosity gives it unexpected volume stability and thermal resistance. It can be produced in an extensive array of sizes, from very large grains to micro-powders, and is perfect for an extensive range of abrasive applications. White fused aluminium oxide is produced by the grinding and classification of designated Macro grain feedstock in an advanced milling facility.
