Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Zirconia Flap Disc used for?
A Zirconia Flap Disc is designed for grinding, deburring, and finishing metal surfaces. It’s ideal for stainless steel, hardened steel, and alloy steel, offering fast material removal and a smooth surface finish.
Why choose a Zirconia Flap Disc instead of Aluminum Oxide?
Compared to Aluminum Oxide, Zirconia Flap Discs offer greater durability, faster cutting speed, and longer lifespan. They are the best choice for medium to heavy grinding applications and provide better performance on hard metals.
Can Zirconia Flap Discs be used on stainless steel?
Yes. Zirconia Flap Discs are perfect for stainless steel because they maintain a cool grinding temperature, preventing discoloration and maintaining the metal’s natural finish.
What grit size should I choose for a Zirconia Flap Disc?
Choose coarse grits (40–60) for aggressive material removal, and finer grits (80–120) for finishing and polishing. The right grit depends on the desired surface finish and grinding speed.
What applications benefit most from Zirconia Flap Discs?
Zirconia Flap Discs are ideal for fabrication, metalworking, welding, and maintenance tasks. They excel in removing welds, smoothing edges, and preparing surfaces before painting or coating.
