Using one of boron compounds KBF4 in manufacturing coated abrasives industry and investigating its properties of product performance

In this study, using of boron and its compounds in coated abrasive industry was examined. Advantages and disadvantages of boron and its compound's properties were investigated. Boron, as an alloy element, and its compounds are used in a wide range. It is determined that, boron and its compounds increases physical, chemical, mechanical and metallurgical properties of materials.The effect of potassium tetraflouroborate, KBF4 particulate reinforcement different on the resin mixture of coated abrasives? have been investigated in this study. Besides, performance test studies of composite coated abrasive materials have been carried out.According to the test result, it is observed that the wear rate of composite coated abrasive materiasl contain KBF4 is higher than the wear rate of the composite coated abrasive materials which does not to contain KBF4. Using of KBF4 on the manufacturing of coated abrasive material?s performance has increased from 14,4% to %30,6.With boronizing, materials get some the properties such as high hardness, high wear, less friction coefficient and high corrosion. In order to use boron and its compounds in coated abrasive industry efficiently, some suggestions with examples are made. As a consequence, since % 72 of world boron and its compounds reserves are in Turkey, some recommendations are presented for public and private sector for adding this source to national economy
