Brown Fused Alumina is made from high- quality bauxite by fusing in a pouring electric arc furnace at a high temperature above 2000C. Crushed and dressed, followed by magnetic separating and screening, the crystallized ingot becomes grains of dense structure, great hardness, good self- sharpening and excellent grinding properties.
