First,white fused aluminum oxide is made from the high quality alumina by melting above 2000 in the electric arc furnace and cooling. It is white with the main crystal phase α-Al2O3;Platelet white calcined alumina(PWA/WCA) is a white calcined aluminum oxide abrasive powder consisting of plate-shape aluminum oxide(Al2O3) with high purity more than 99% and concentrated PSD(Particel Size Distribution)
The main difference of white fused aluminum oxide and platelet white calcined aluminum oxide is as follows:
1,Manufacturing Technique
White fused aluminum oxide is fused,but platelet white calcined aluminum oxide if calcined.
2,Microscopic Shape
White fused aluminum oxide is irregular,but platelet white calcined aluminum oxide is plate-shape as follows:
white fused aluminum oxide
Platelet white calcined aluminum oxide
