Catalog-reference "Abrasive materials and tools" developed by the All-Union Research Institute of Abrasives and Grinding (VNDIASH).
Abrasive materials include such natural and artificial materials, the main components of which are represented by minerals of high hardness. In modern abrasive processing, the concept of "abrasives" covers a variety of materials (used in the form of grains and powders in free form or in the form of tools made from them), while not only high-hardness materials are used, but also various "soft" materials (alumina, crocus, chromium oxide, graphite, tripel, pumice, etc.)
Abrasives also include metal chips, which are grains of various hard alloys, bleached cast iron, etc.
Artificial abrasive materials are characterized by greater stability of physical and mechanical properties compared to natural ones; they have become widespread in industry, sharply limiting the use of natural abrasive materials, and in some cases replacing them completely.
