The main difference between brown aluminum oxide and white aluminum oxide is their purity. White aluminum oxide is made from a higher purity alumina, which means that it contains less iron and other impurities. This makes it a better choice for applications that require minimal foreign contamination, such as in the aerospace and medical industries.
Brown aluminum oxide is also a good abrasive, but it is not as pure as white aluminum oxide. This means that it can leave behind some iron or other impurities, which can be a problem in some applications.
| Property | Brown Aluminum Oxide | White Aluminum Oxide |
|---|---|---|
| Purity | Contains impurities such as iron and silicon | Pure aluminum oxide |
| Hardness | Less hard | Harder |
| Friability | Less friable | More friable |
| Cost | Less expensive | More expensive |
| Applications | General-purpose abrasive | Precision abrasive |
Some specific applications where white aluminum oxide is often used include:
- Grinding and polishing of metal, plastics, and glass
- Sandblasting to remove rust, paint, and other coatings
- Cleaning and deburring of precision parts
- Sharpening of tools
Brown aluminum oxide is often used in applications where cost is a major factor, such as:
- Sandblasting of large surfaces
- Cleaning of concrete and masonry
- Abrasive blasting of rocks and minerals
