Ohhhhh...I think we mean 'Silicon Carbide', whose
proprietary name, is 'Carborundum'...
Was the first I think of the man-made materials for Grinding
Wheels...as distinct anyway, from 'Natural' stone.
Many forms...'wet-and-dry' abrasive Papers...various grit
powders, as 'Clover' Valve Grinding Compound ( for
Automobile Valve seat grinding)...Slip-Stones, Whet Stones,
Grinding Wheels...
Usually a grey color...or dark grey sometimes...
