OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Zirconia Fibre Disc for Stainless Steel

The Pferd 62718 is a premium 7-inch fibre disc designed for industrial metalworking environments where efficiency and finish quality are paramount. Engineered with high-performance Zirconia Alumina grain, this abrasive disc excels in heavy-duty stock removal applications. The defining feature of this specific SKU is the "Z-Cool" active coating technology. This specialized top-coating contains active additives that significantly reduce the thermal load generated during the grinding process. For industrial fabricators working with poor heat-conducting materials—such as stainless steel (INOX), nickel-based alloys, or titanium—heat buildup is a critical failure point that can lead to material discoloration, warping, or loss of corrosion resistance. The Pferd Z-Cool system mitigates these risks, ensuring a cooler cut even under the high contact pressure required for aggressive material removal.

With a coarse 36 grit rating, this disc is optimized for the initial stages of fabrication, including weld seam leveling, edge chamfering, and removing heavy mill scale. The 7-inch diameter provides a large surface area for extended service life and rapid coverage on large workpieces. It features a standard 7/8-inch center hole, making it compatible with most industrial angle grinders equipped with the appropriate backing pad. Pferd's manufacturing process ensures a consistent grain distribution and strong resin bond, preventing premature shedding and ensuring safety at high rotational speeds. Supply chain managers and procurement specialists should note that this product delivers exceptional cost-per-cut value by reducing downtime associated with disc changes and minimizing rework caused by heat damage.

Key Industrial Benefits:

  • Thermal Management: Active additives prevent glazing and reduce workpiece temperature.
  • High Removal Rate: Zirconia grain self-sharpens to maintain cutting aggression.
  • Material Versatility: Specifically formulated for tough alloys and stainless steel.

FAQ

Z-Cool refers to active grinding additives in the disc's coating that help dissipate heat and reduce friction. This prevents heat buildup, which is critical when working with poor heat-conducting materials like stainless steel to avoid discoloration.

Yes, all resin fibre discs, including the Pferd 62718, require a hard or medium-density backing pad of the corresponding size (7 inch) to support the disc during use.

Yes, you can use it on mild steel, and it will perform very well. However, its premium cooling features are most beneficial and cost-effective when used on stainless steel or exotic alloys.

36 grit is coarser and designed for heavy stock removal and leveling large welds. 60 grit is finer, used for blending and refining the scratch pattern left by coarser abrasives.

While specific ratings can vary by batch, 7-inch fibre discs typically have a maximum operating speed of around 8,500 to 8,600 RPM. Always check the label on the specific disc and backing pad.

Zirconia is tougher and self-sharpening. It holds up better under the high heat and pressure of grinding metal, lasting significantly longer than standard Aluminum Oxide discs.

It can be used on aluminum, and the cooling agents help reduce loading (clogging). However, for dedicated aluminum work, specific discs with stearate coatings are often recommended to prevent clogging completely.

Fibre discs are sensitive to humidity. Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original packaging or a disc press, to prevent them from curling due to moisture absorption.
