What is an Abrasive and How Does it Work?
Abradant is a substance that wears away or grinds down another substance by rubbing or crushing action. It can be a solid, liquid or gas and is typically used to remove material from a surface through a process called abrasion.
Examples of abradants include sandpaper, silicon carbide paper, diamond dust, and certain types of chemicals. These materials are commonly used in various industries such as construction, manufacturing, and polishing.
In the context of grinding, an abradant is the substance that is doing the grinding, while the material being ground is called the workpiece. The abradant can be a coarse or fine grade depending on the desired outcome of the grinding process.
