Induced Porosity & Walnut Shells

06/12/2007 8:52 AM

I am currently researching fillers which may be added to our abrasive bonded products to induce porosity.

I have come across walnut shells being used for this purpose. I have tried to find a supplier but so far have only turned up suppliers based in the US.

I would prefer to find a European based supplier or one with sales offices within Europe.

I would appreciate any help in tracking down suppliers for this product.

I am also aware that bubbled alumina can be used for this purpose. I have tracked down a couple of European suppliers of this product but would also appreciate any additional help with this.

Drilling fluid manufacturers use bags of the things.

You should be able to buy them locally in Europe from mud companies. Try MI-Swaco- I believe that you will find them in Aberdeen.

Be aware though that they will probably still be imported from the US of A.

I recently bought a 5 pound bag of crushed walnut shell for use in cleaning bullet cases. It came from China. I bought it through harbor freight. The ammunition reloading industry uses lots of walnut shell to clean used cases. You might look there.

Hi,

try coconut shell or cherry kernels - these are much better.
