Why does metal stay cool during grinding?
Normal disc abrasives like carborundum remove material by rubbing, generating lots of heat. Corundum has a crystalline structure, which simply means that it has sharp points and as it wears it fractures into smaller sharp points. It removes material by cutting instead of rubbing, so producing hardy any heat.
