Here at Michigan Tech, one of the elements being researched is the type of abrasive used. Typically, garnet, which has a hardness of 8 on Mohs scale of hardness, is used because it is much harder than most materials and because it breaks in clean, sharp edges. Garnet is considered inexpensive when compared to abrasives like diamond; however, it still costs around $600 per ton of abrasive. As far as hardness is concerned, silica glass is still harder than most materials, and since it is crushed, the particles all have sharp edges that haven’t been worn due to erosion that might occur in garnet, which has to be mined. The other benefit for using silica is that all the glass being used
