Norton Abrasives Competitive Advantages
Vitrified Mounted Points with Norton Quantum Grain & Vitrium3 Bond Technology
Vitrified mounted points are used along with grinding machines for grinding small, intricate, curved metal pieces in foundry, tool room & aerospace industry. These vitrified mounted points use ceramic Quantum grain and Vitrium3 bond technology for higher removal rate of material, ensuring long operating life compared to other abrasive mounted points. Vitrium3 bond technology offers cool cutting & profile holding at high speeds, whereas the Quantum ceramic grain developed from Norton's patented Seeded-Gel technology increases the cutting efficiency by providing a micrometric level breakdown.

What are the uses of different grades of Norton sandpaper?
The grit / grade of sandpaper denotes the size of abrasive materials present. A high grit size (600 etc.) indicates finer abrasives in the sandpaper, resulting in smoother surface finishes, whereas the lower grit sizes (30, 60 etc.) represent coarser abrasives used in heavy sanding and stripping applications. Users should choose appropriate sandpaper according to their applications for fine or coarse grinding while considering the material (workpiece) properties.
What are the abrasives used in Norton grinding wheels?
The abrasives used in grinding wheels are aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, ceramic grain, zirconium aluminium oxide, cubic boron nitride and diamond.
