The Abrasive Materials Industry

Home / News

 
Due to its hardness, is a popular choice for making abrasive materials. Quartz stone grinding machines are used to produce quartz sand of different grit sizes. These different - sized quartz sands are used in various abrasive applications. Coarser - grained quartz sand is used in sandblasting operations. For example, in the surface preparation of metal parts before painting or coating, sandblasting with quartz sand helps to remove rust, old paint, and other contaminants, creating a rough surface that promotes better adhesion of the new coating.

Finer - grained quartz sand is used in the production of abrasive papers and polishing compounds. In the automotive industry, for instance, these abrasive products are used to polish the surfaces of car bodies, giving them a smooth and shiny finish. The precise control over the particle size of quartz achieved through grinding machines is essential for meeting the specific requirements of different abrasive applications.
 
Quartz has unique piezoelectric properties, which make it extremely valuable in the electronics industry. Quartz crystal oscillators, which are used in a wide range of electronic devices such as clocks, watches, and communication equipment, are made from precisely cut and ground quartz crystals. Quartz stone grinding machines play a crucial role in the initial stages of processing quartz for these applications.
