Special abrasive from 3M 1334

Trizact™

The abrasive grain consists of a precisely arranged, three-dimensional structure of tiny mineral particles In use new abrasive particle layers are exposed continuously. Once the tape is half used, about 85 % of the abrasive particles are still available. This produces a smooth, reproducible surface. Trizact™ abrasives are therefore intrinsically suited to finishing and have, compared to conventional abrasives, a much longer life and are more economical.

Cubitron™

On grinding small corners of the ceramic sintered grain break off. The resulting micro-breaks in the grain make sharp edges. This process repeats itself during the entire grinding operation. This self-sharpening effect increases its life span considerably. Even with high temperatures and usage the Cubitron™ microstructures retain their hardness and cutting action. So it is ideal for grinding stainless steel, titanium and heat-sensitive nickel alloys.

The individual grains of ceramic Cubitron™ II abrasives are precisely-shaped, uniform in size and arranged at right angles in the form of small triangles. Naturally Cubitron™ II has the self-sharpening effect of Cubitron™. Cubitron™ II

Conventional ceramic grain

Cubitron™ II-grit

Different in size and shape as well as unevenly distributed. The result is the abrasive's shorter life span as well as stress fractures and discolouration of the material:

Precision-shaped, uniform grin- ding grains, evenly distributed and symmetrically aligned. The result is maximum removal rate, a perfect surface finish, a quicker, cooler grind, as well as less material distortion:

The higher deburring of Cubitron™ II-abrasives benefit all metal-working operations, for example: steel construction, container construction, welding companies, foundries and forges, that use angle grinders and belt sanders for more removal.

Benefits: • Higher, smoother removal • Up to 40 % time saving potential • 2 to 7 times longer life (depending on the application process) • Shorter tooling time due to savings on disc changes • Less pressure means greater comfort for the user • Less dust and heat development

Typical applications are: • Weld preparation/deburring, cast machining Quicker deburring and finishing that often needs no further machining and shortens processing time. • Chamfering before welding Quicker grinding processes compared to conventional grinding products and a longer life span. • General removal work Universal on steel, tool steel and non-ferrous metals: All removal work is faster, lighter and gives a smoother finish.
