Fused Alumina-Based Materials

Reliable Raw Materials for Abrasive and High-Temperature Applications

Fused Alumina-Based Materials are engineered alumina raw materials produced through high-temperature electric fusion, controlled cooling, crushing, and grading processes. With controlled Al2O3 content (>= 95 percent for standard BFA and >= 99 percent for high-purity WFA), selected grain structures, and customized particle sizes meeting international FEPA and ANSI standards, these materials are widely used by manufacturers of abrasives, refractory products, ceramics, and high-temperature components. Selecting the correct alumina grade depends on application requirements including hardness, toughness, thermal stability, chemical purity, and grain distribution.
