DURALUM XM can be used to replace more costly steel media, at lower power and with less machine wear and tear, XM is tougher, more durable and has a higher density than any other ceramic media. It will out last competative ceramic and steel media. And because XM is harder than the hardest steel it can be used where steel media is ineffective - e.g. to color hardened steel. At half the weight of steel, cu. ft. for cu. ft. XM ceramic media is a very economical choice. It is sized closely and uniformly to minimize lodging, will not rust and therefore can be stored wet or dry. (140 - 150 lbs. per cu. ft.)

XA

DURALUM XA is the ideal tumbling nugget dense, tough, and yet free-cutting. A true microcrystalline fused aluminum oxide abrasive. Its solid structure, super-fine crystal size and carefully controlled chemistry (including titanium dioxide) make it strong and durable. Fast cutting, longwearing and impact resistant over a wide range of demanding applications. With proper compounding, XA is an excellent burnishing media. It is produced at our Niagara Falls fusion plant by a unique “chill cast” process. (145 lbs. per cu. ft.)
