What is brown fused alumina used for?

Washington Mills is an aluminum oxide manufacturer specializing in brown fused aluminum oxide (Al2O3), otherwise known as brown fused alumina, through an electric arc furnace process. Our brown fused aluminum oxide is made into many shapes and grit sizes ranging from macrogrits to microgrits and powders. Brown fused aluminum oxide is a tough, hard material (Mohs hardness 9) with high strength, excellent wear and corrosion resistance and good thermal conductivity.

Brown fused alumina is widely used as a raw material in refractories, ceramics shapes, grinding wheels, sandpaper, blasting media, metal preparation, laminates, coatings, lapping, polishing, grinding and hundreds of other applications. Washington Mills' brown fused alumina grains and powders are available in standard grit and powder sizes and they can also be made to individual specifications. 

Brown Fused Alumina is a tough, sharp abrasives which is highly suitable for grinding metals of high tensile strength. Its thermal properties make it an excellent material for use in the manufacture of refractory products. This material is also used in other applications like blasting and surface hardening.

Brown Fused Alumina is produced by the smelting of Calcined Bauxite in an electric arc furnace at temperatures greater than oC. A slow solidification process follows the fusion, to yield blocky crystals. Strict control over Titania levels during the fusion process ensures optimum toughness of the grains.

The cooled crude is further crushed, cleaned of magnetic impurities in high intensity magnetic separators and classified into narrow size fractions to suit the end use. Dedicated lines produce products for different applications.
