Abrasive Corundum Market Analysis 2020-2027:

Abrasive corundum is a crystal form of alumina used largely in the machining of metals for abrasion. It contains traces of iron, titanium, vanadium, and chromium. It reflects different colors if it contains impurities such as gray, golden-brown, brown, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. These impurities arise as a result of the presence of transition metals in the crystal structure of corundum.  Corundum is an extremely hard material, which is used in various applications such as cutting, polishing, and grinding. Corundum is utilized to produce sandpaper, milling of precision tools, sandblasting, and deburring. Its high melting point makes it a suitable option for use in refractories. Corundum occurs naturally, however, can be synthetically manufactured. In addition, it is used to manufacture bearings in instruments and high-end watches. Additional applications of corundum include the manufacture of devices used at checkout counters based on optical scanning and in light-emitting lasers.
