Polishing Powders are used in the rough and final polishing steps for many materials. At this step the surface damaged of the sample needs to be removed and the flatness maintained. Alumina Oxide is available in either levigated or as a high purity synthetic (powder or suspension). The particle size and crystal structure are temperature dependent. The Gamma type is of low temperature form and is sized 0.05 micron. The Alpha is of high temperature form and is sized at 0.3 and 1 micron.
