White fused alumina (WFA) is a synthetic abrasive material produced by fusing high-purity alumina in an electric arc furnace at high temperatures. It has a crystal structure primarily composed of corundum (Al2O3) and is known for its exceptional hardness, strength, and high purity. White fused alumina is available in different forms, including grits, sand, and powder, and is used in a variety of applications: Grinding and Polishing, Surface Preparation, Refractories, Precision Casting, Abrasive Blasting, Superabrasives, Ceramics and Tiles, and etc.
