Abstract

Alpha alumina abrasive grits with grain boundaries modified with at least one of yttria and a rare earth metal oxide, and one or more oxides selected from the oxides of magnesium and/or transition elements, perform at enhanced levels if at least the yttria and/or rare earth metal oxide modifiers are present within the body of the grit in concentrations at least as high as their concentrations at the surface of the grit.
