20. SUMMARY AND CRITICAL WARNINGS

SUMMARY

Brown Aluminum Oxide is a high-performance synthetic abrasive produced by fusing high-quality bauxite in electric arc furnaces at elevated temperatures. Its angular particle shape, high hardness, and mechanical strength make it suitable for aggressive cleaning, surface profiling, and coating preparation applications. The material is reusable in closed blasting systems and provides consistent blasting performance.

It appears as a brown granular abrasive. Its hardness is 8–9 Mohs, specific gravity is 3.90–4.10 g/cm³, and bulk density is 1.50–2.00 g/cm³. Its melting point is approximately 2050°C. It is chemically stable, non-combustible, and has low free silica content. Typical chemical composition includes Al₂O₃ (94.0–97.5%), Fe₂O₃ (0.1–1.0%), SiO₂ (1.0–2.5%), TiO₂ (1.5–3.5%), and CaO + MgO (<1.0%).

It is used for steel surface blasting, cast iron cleaning, heavy rust removal, mill scale removal, surface preparation before coating, tank and vessel maintenance, foundry and casting cleaning, mold cleaning, industrial maintenance operations, and machinery manufacturing. It can achieve cleanliness standards Sa 2, Sa 2½, and Sa 3, subject to blasting conditions.
