Zirconia sanding belts, also known as zirconia abrasive belts or zirconium corundum belts, are a high-performance solution for aggressive grinding and deburring of metal surfaces. Designed specifically for medium to heavy material removal, these belts excel in industrial settings such as small to mid-sized metalworking shops, polishing workshops, and automotive parts manufacturing facilities. With a unique self-sharpening structure and superior toughness, zirconia belts are ideal for use on stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, and cast iron, especially in high-pressure applications.
Key Features of Zirconia Abrasive Belts
- Self-Sharpening Grains: Zirconia alumina features a friable structure that continually fractures during use, exposing fresh cutting edges and maintaining high grinding efficiency.
- High Stock Removal: Excellent for aggressive applications such as weld seam removal, heavy deburring, and oxide/rust layer elimination.
- Long Belt Life: Outlasts aluminum oxide belts by 2–3 times, reducing the frequency of belt change and downtime.
- Cool Grinding Action: The active grinding additives (grinding aids) help reduce heat generation, minimizing the risk of burning workpieces.
- Strong Backing: Reinforced with heavy-duty polyester or Y-weight cloth for stability during high-tension operations.
- Water & Oil Resistant: Suitable for both dry and wet grinding applications, maintaining performance in harsh environments.
