Flap Disc Machines: Common Abrasive Types
This is the traditional abrasive that was first widely used on flap discs. Today, aluminum oxide is most common on low-priced flap discs.
Another very popular type of grain used on flap discs, zirconia alumina is a blend of both zirconia and aluminum oxide grains. The result is a disc that is more versatile compared to the standard aluminum oxide, but it is more heat-resistant, durable, and has self-sharpening grains so that it does not wear out nearly as quickly.
These are the most expensive of the three types of grains, but they are also the most durable. Because the grains on the disc break apart into micro-fractures, they provide a continually sharp edge for grinding and finishing. This means that the ceramic alumina flap disc has longer tool life and needs to be replaced less often. This improves productivity. However, the price of ceramic alumina discs can be steep. So it may be more economical to purchase a cheaper type depending on the requirements of your job. If you are only working for a short time or intermittently on different types of grinding or finishing work, then the zirconia alumina or aluminum oxide may be a better choice. But if you are a professional or are doing long-term work, then investing in a ceramic alumina flap disc is probably the best choice.
This as the name suggests is a blend of both ceramic and zirconia. It provides the best of both substances for all-purpose use. The main advantage is that it grinds with less effort compared to all other types. However, it is also expensive, so you will need to look at your budget before you decide.

Q: How are flap discs made?
Q: What is a flap disc?
Q: What are flap discs used for?
Q: What are the benefits of flap discs over grinding wheels?
*Smoother finish, no gouging - In the same vein, grinding wheels are extremely aggressive and can have a tendency to gouge the surface and leave a very rough finish, particularly when in the hands of a less experienced user. Whereas with a flap disc, the abrasive flaps are made from cloth or polyester, providing conformability to the disc, which reduces the possibility of damaging the workpiece whilst removing material effectively.
*Fewer vibrations - As the flap disc is less rigid and has far more flexibility than its grinding wheel counterpart, fewer vibrations are generated when grinding. Not only does this make for a drastically more comfortable experience for the operator but it is also significantly less noisy.
