The main chemical component of brown corundum is Al2O3, and the content is 95.00% to 97.00%. In addition, it contains a small amount of Fe, Si, Ti and the like. As an important industrial material, brown corundum has a wide application in the fields of abrasive tools, refractory materials and grinding tools due to its high hardness, wear resistance and high-temperature resistance. In the abrasive tool industry, brown corundum is the most basic material. Among the three major abrasive categories of ordinary abrasive, superhard abrasive and ceramic abrasive, ordinary abrasive accounts for 80% of the market share, and among the ordinary abrasive, brown corundum accounts for 80% of the share. The total amount of brown corundum used in China's abrasive industry is 450,000 tons (particle size sand) per year, of which 160,000 tons are used for resin and rubber binder abrasive tools, 170,000 tons are used for ceramic abrasive tools, and 120,000 tons are used for coated abrasive tools.
