Summary:The feasibility of making abrasives from porcelain industry wastes in place of expensive imported abrasives, for wet tumbling of polyester buttons was investigated. A formulation and process for preparing samples of optimum size and shape were developed. The abrasive is a white fired cone with a height of 20 mm and a base diameter of 25 mm. The content of wastes used was 65-75%. Cones fired at 1350 C had a flexural strength of 75 MPa, shrinkage of 0.22% and abrasion of 0.05% g/cm2. Considerable cost savings were achieved.
