DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5348294· OSTI ID:5348294

To achieve greater quality control over lapped finishes, the 3- and 0.3-..mu..m alumina abrasives used in rough and finish lapping were studied. The 3-..mu..m abrasive was found to actually average 5 to 10 ..mu..m. The particle size distribution of the 0.3-..mu..m abrasive could not be determined with sufficient accuracy. Recommendations for procurement, storage, dispensing, and mixing were made to provide increased abrasive uniformity and freedom from contamination.
