RXX Ceramic Grinding Media
- Grade, Shapes and Applications
- Video
RXX is a ceramic grinding medium for applications requiring strong cutting action. The existing grade description identifies hard and case-hardened metal components as potential applications.
Grade and Technical Data
- Media reference: RXX
- Listed density: 2.67 g/cm3
- Application focus: Deburring and surface refinement
The RXX data sheet shows triangles, angle-cut triangles, ellipses, angle-cut ellipses, cylinders, angle-cut cylinders, tristar forms, angle-cut tristar forms, cones and balls. Select a geometry that can reach the required surfaces and be separated from the parts after processing. Confirm the selected grade, size and current supply details before ordering.
Review the Application
For hardened parts, establish the permitted material removal and the features that must be protected. Evaluate RXX against burr condition, surface texture and dimensional limits. Confirm any later finishing steps needed to reach the specified final surface.
Ceramic media selection involves the grade as well as its shape and size. The workpiece material, machine, compound and processing conditions all affect the result. A grade suitable for one application should be evaluated again when the material, geometry or finish requirement changes.
Choose the Shape and Size
Consider holes, slots, threads and recesses as well as the main external surfaces. Check the risk of media lodging and the requirements of the separation system. As media wears, its dimensions change, so the selection should also account for how it will be screened or replaced during use.
Confirm the Process on Samples
Define the required burr condition, surface finish and dimensional limits before evaluating samples. Review machine loading, compound compatibility, water flow where applicable and processing time together. Inspect critical features and possible part-to-part contact during trials. Establish production conditions from the agreed result.
Include media separation, rinsing and drying in the process review. When a later polishing stage is needed, define its starting surface and acceptance standard before choosing the full sequence.
