Why Titanium Grinding Demands Superior Abrasives

Titanium’s high strength, heat resistance, and work-hardening properties make it notoriously challenging to grind. Conventional abrasives wear rapidly, causing:

Frequent wheel changes and production downtime
Rising consumable costs
Inconsistent surface finish quality
Thermal damage to expensive aerospace/medical components

Enter White Alumina (WA) – engineered for extreme performance.

The Game Changer: DFARS-Compliant White Alumina

Our advanced white alumina grinding wheels leverage ultra-pure, synthetically fused aluminum oxide grains. Unlike standard brown alumina, WA’s friable crystals continuously self-sharpen, exposing fresh cutting edges. This delivers:

40% Longer Wheel Life: Proven in aerospace workshops grinding Ti-6Al-4V alloys.
Cooler Cutting: Reduced heat prevents titanium part discoloration or metallurgical damage.
Precision Finishes: Consistent Ra ≤ 0.4 μm for critical tolerance components.

But raw performance isn’t enough for defense contractors…

DFARS Compliance: Non-Negotiable for U.S. Defense Work

The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS 252.225-7009) mandates strict material sourcing standards. Our white alumina complies by:
✅ 100% U.S.-Sourced Raw Materials: From bauxite to final processing.
✅ Domestic Manufacturing: Fully traceable production in federally audited facilities.
✅ ITAR-Free Supply Chain: Zero export-controlled technologies.

No more risking contract breaches with imported abrasives.

Real-World Results: Efficiency Meets Compliance

A major aerospace supplier switched to our DFARS-compliant WA wheels for turbine blade root grinding:

Tool Life: Increased from 15 to 21 parts per wheel (+40%).
Cost Savings: Reduced consumable expenses by $18,000/year.
Quality: Eliminated thermal rejections (100% NDT pass rate).
Compliance: Passed DoD supplier audits with full material traceability.

Technical Edge: What Makes White Alumina Superior?

High-Purity (≥99.5% Al₂O₃): Fewer impurities mean sharper, harder grains.
Controlled Friability: Gradual self-sharpening sustains cutting aggression.
Low Iron Content: Prevents titanium contamination during grinding.
Optimized Bond Systems: Reinforced vitrified bonds resist titanium’s high forces.

Applications: Where Performance Matters Most

Aerospace: Blades, landing gear, engine mounts.
Medical: Implants, surgical instruments.
Defense: Armor plating, submarine components.
Automotive: Racing valves, turbochargers.
