User manual 3M ABRASIVE PRODS. FOR GRINDING AND FINISHING OF HARD COATINGS

[. . . ] Contact your local 3M representative for more information. 3M Abrasive Technologies 3MTM TrizactTM Abrasives Derived from patented 3M microreplication technology, Trizact abrasives consist of preciselyshaped three-dimensional structures distributed uniformly over the substrate. Unlike conventional abrasives, which are constructed from randomlyspaced and irregular-shaped minerals, the uniform configuration of Trizact abrasives helps deliver more consistent performance and eliminate belt-tobelt variation. Trizact belts start sharp and stay sharp, resulting in more predictable finishes and improved, consistent quality in your parts. Today's abrasives -- Coating Removal TM TM NEW 3M Trizact Diamond Cloth Belt 663FC Lower costs Trizact belts can last two to five times longer than conventional belts ­ and finish so precisely that operators can reduce grade sequences, which in turn can reduce total cost of operations. Courtesy of Abbott Machine Co. 3M Trizact Diamond Cloth Belt 663FC represents the "next generation" in abrasive technology ­ combining the predictable dimensioning traditionally associated with bonded wheels with the speed, consistency and ease of use of 3M abrasive belts. Designed for grinding hard materials to final dimension, 663FC belts also work well for stripping old thermal spray coating during the refurbishment process. Conventional abrasives start out sharp, but dull quickly 663FC belts cut up to 70% faster than bonded wheels ­ without chatter. [. . . ] This patented new shape, packed with durable Cubitron grain, introduces a full line of consistent Trizact belt products ­ now for stock removal through final finishing in wet applications. The macroreplicated abrasive structure of 953FA belts results in very predictable, consistent cut and finish performance on stainless, mild and hardened steel. Grade range: A300 to A6, in belts up to 25" wide. · Faster than conventional bonded wheels · A 20% higher belt cut rate than competitive 3D belt products · Up to 5 times extended belt life over conventional coated abrasives · Improved finish consistency · Reduced taper on long parts · Improved part-to-part size NEW 3MTM TrizactTM Cloth Belt 963FA Similar to 953FA belts above, new 963FA belts offer a new stronger polyester backing with patented adhesion enhancers, increasing their durability in applications such as coarse grade stock removal. In medium Grades A500-A160 Grades A100-A6 and fine grades, 963FA belts deliver improved finishes and improved final part size consistency. Available in grades A500 to A6 in belts up to 25" wide. AY COATINGS · CERAMICS Grinding Cylindrical TM TM NEW 3M Trizact Diamond Cloth Belt 663FC Contour/Complex Shape TM NEW 3M Diamond Cloth Disc 673W 3M Trizact Diamond Cloth Belt 663FC represents the "next generation" in abrasive technology ­ combining the predictable dimensioning traditionally associated with bonded wheels with the speed, consistency and ease of use of 3M abrasive belts. 663FC belts cut up to 70% faster than bonded wheels. And because they are easy to use, even less-experienced operators can achieve consistent, effective stock removal throughout the life of the belt. This also means that lower grinding forces can be used, avoiding deformation, chatter and other grinding defects on lightweight/thinwalled components. Courtesy of Abbott Machine Co. 3M Diamond Cloth Discs 673W are designed to provide long-lasting cutting performance when used for finishing and dimensioning ceramics, carbides and hardcoated materials. The unique construction allows Diamond Cloth 673W to deliver outstanding consistency throughout the life of the disc, for improved control and fewer rejects. They provide optimal performance when run wet, but can also be run dry. Compared to flexible metal bond diamond abrasives, 3M Diamond Cloth Discs 673W last longer, and deliver a faster, more consistent cut. They also provide a finer finish, with less chance of burn through ­ helping you improve productivity. 3MTM Flexible Diamond Belts 3M Flexible Diamond Belts provide an alternative to bonded wheels that can help you achieve required finishes without sacrificing cut rates on hard-togrind roll materials. A metal bond securely anchors micron-graded diamonds to a premium, flexible backing. This provides durability and long life, while allowing conformance to a variety of contours. The open dot pattern produces aggressive cutting action and reduces grinding loads. 3MTM Resin Bond Superabrasive Wheels 3M manufactures a full line of bonded and single layer superabrasive products utilizing the latest induction and furnace heating techniques. They provide excellent form retention as well as abrasion and heat resistance when grinding tough materials such as carbides, quartz, ceramics, and hard metals. · CARBIDES · HARD COMPO Superfinishing/Finishing TM Diamond Microfinishing NEW 3M 675L Film The following products can be used as alternatives for achieving a final finish for customers without superfinishing equipment. 3MTM Diamond Polishing Cloth Belt 652WY Long-lasting and cost-effective. Micron graded diamond particles encapsulated in a ceramic bead and resin bonded to a durable cloth backing. Designed for use on materials harder than 7 on Mohs scale (800 Knoop). Compared to bonded wheels and conventional abrasives, 3M Diamond Polishing Cloth can reduce process time with fewer steps and excellent finish. The water-resistant backing performs well in both wet and dry applications. And the products' overall toughness makes them ideal for many hard-to-finish materials, including thermal spray parts, ceramics, composites, HVOF coatings, chilled iron and non-ferrous metal.
