What is White Fused Alumina?
White Fused Alumina (WFA) is a synthetic mineral based on aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). It is produced by fusing high-purity alumina in an electric arc furnace at elevated temperatures. The result is a crystalline structure with exceptional hardness and strength.
Properties and Characteristics?
White fused alumina is a highly pure form of aluminum oxide, created by melting high-quality alumina in an electric arc furnace, resulting in a crystalline structure with remarkable durability. Due to its high purity and low impurity content, the material naturally has a white color.
Key features include:
- High hardness (Mohs scale ~9)
- Excellent thermal resistance
- Low wear and high chemical stability
- Corrosion and shock resistance
Applications
- White fused alumina is used in a wide range of industries, including:
- Abrasive production (sandpaper, grinding wheels, polishing tools)
- Refractory products (bricks and castable)
- Advanced ceramics and electronic components
- Precision casting and surface coating materials
Supply from Iran
With rich mineral resources and modern production facilities, Iran is capable of supplying premium-quality white fused alumina.
Altin Alish Verish Company offers direct export to markets such as Russia, CIS countries, China, India, and South Africa, meeting the needs of abrasive, refractory, and ceramic industries.
