- Zirconia Alumina Grain Improves Performance by 30% on Broad Range of Materials -
WORCESTER, Mass., Feb. 15, 2005 - The new Charger Plus wheels for weld, metal fabrication, foundry, construction, pipeline and petrochemical applications feature a blend of advanced performance zirconia alumina and aluminum oxide. The blending of these two abrasive types results in a high-performance wheel that is value priced. On-the-job tests of Charger Plus wheels have proven that the increased ratio of aggressive grinding and cutting zirconia alumina grain in Charger Plus wheels produces a 30% average performance improvement.
Operators can grind faster with less force and less fatigue. They can spend less time grinding, increasing their output and lowering the total grinding and finishing costs. Plus, the longer wheel life provides the added benefit of less downtime changing wheels.
Charger Plus Type 27 1/8-inch and ¼-inch thick grinding and cutting wheels are available in 4, 4½, 5, 6, 7 and 9-inch diameters with both 7/8 and 5/8-l1 center holes. Type 28 saucer wheels are available in 7 and 9-inch diameters, ¼-inch thickness and 5/8-11 center holes.
