Grinding On Aluminum Components Rep-Alg-RAI0141-4105201 - V.2

  1. 1.0 Recommended tools and equipment 

    Grinding work hand force or machine must be carried out using the recommended tools and equipment.

    The workbay must be cleaned with the recommended explosion-proof exhaust extraction unit (refer to Service Information).

    High dust concentration, explosion hazard! 

  2. 2.0 Carrying out grinding work 

    Do not use any abrasives (grinding wheels, paper, etc.) which contain iron (risk of corrosion).

    Always replace abrasives which have already been used to treat steel (risk of corrosion).

    Use stainless steel wire brushes only (risk of corrosion).

    Reduce speed of grinding machines. Excessive speeds cause a smearing effect.

    Do not use coarse abrasive grains (only ≥ 80).

    Do not grind notches into the material (risk of cracking).

    Do not grind the material thin.
