Quality verification of metallic abrasives involves multiple tests.
## Chemical Analysis
Spectrometry ensures correct carbon, manganese, and silicon levels.
## Hardness Testing
Test a minimum of 10 particles per batch.
## Sieve Analysis
Per SAE J444/J827 standards.
## Microstructure Examination
Metallographic cross-sectioning reveals internal structure.
