OVERVIEW

High-Performance Cool Grinding for Thermal-Sensitive Metals

The Pferd 62528 5-inch Zirconia Sanding Disc represents a specialized solution for industrial grinding applications requiring both aggressive stock removal and thermal management. Engineered with Pferd's proprietary Z-Cool technology, this abrasive disc incorporates active additives within the top coating. These additives are designed to lubricate the contact zone and inhibit heat generation, a critical factor when working with materials that have poor thermal conductivity, such as stainless steel (INOX), nickel-based alloys, and titanium.

At the core of this disc is a robust Zirconia Alumina grain. Zirconia is renowned in the abrasives industry for its toughness and self-sharpening characteristics. As the grain fractures under the pressure of the angle grinder, it reveals new, sharp cutting edges, maintaining a consistent cut rate throughout the life of the disc. The 36 grit composition makes this specific SKU ideal for coarse grinding tasks, including leveling weld seams, removing heavy scale, and aggressive surface blending. The combination of a durable backing and high-quality resin bond ensures the grain remains firmly anchored even under the high contact pressure required to maximize Zirconia's performance.

Industrial operators will appreciate the efficiency gains provided by the Z-Cool system. By reducing the thermal load on the workpiece, the risk of heat discoloration, warping, and structural changes to the metal is significantly minimized. This reduction in heat not only preserves the integrity of the workpiece but often eliminates the need for secondary processing steps to remove heat tint, thereby streamlining the overall fabrication workflow. This disc is designed for use with a standard backing pad on appropriate angle grinders.

FAQ

Z-Cool refers to active additives in the disc's coating that help reduce friction and heat generation during grinding, preventing heat discoloration on sensitive metals like stainless steel.

Yes, this is a resin fiber sanding disc and requires a compatible hard or medium backing pad to attach to your angle grinder.

It is optimized for stainless steel (INOX), nickel-based alloys, and other materials with poor heat conductivity, though it also works well on standard steel.

36 grit is considered coarse. It is designed for heavy stock removal, grinding down welds, and removing scale, rather than fine finishing.

This disc has a standard 7/8-inch arbor hole, which fits most 4.5-inch and 5-inch angle grinders.

Zirconia is tougher and self-sharpens under pressure, lasting longer and cutting faster than standard aluminum oxide, especially on hard metals.

While it can grind aluminum, Zirconia discs can sometimes load up (clog) with soft aluminum. A disc specifically designed for non-ferrous metals might be a better choice for pure aluminum work.

Always check the backing pad and the disc label for the specific Max RPM, but generally, 5-inch fiber discs are rated for standard angle grinder speeds (typically around 10,000 - 12,000 RPM).
