Acesso em:.https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/5095This article describes the development of abrasive and cutting disks made of alumina and waste glass powder to apply in cutting tools. These disk mills are used to micromize rigid post-consumed thermoplastics and let its use in a lot of recycling process, as rotomolding. This cutting disk uses glass powder as a fluxing agent and poly(ethylene terephthalate) post-consumed to give a plastic behavior to the powder, making it easier to fill in the mold. The amounts of glass powder were analyzed from previous studies with different minerals, as diopside and feldspar, since the studies with waste glass powder substituting natural minerals are recent. The development of the disks occurs in two steps. The first one is the homogeneization of the compounds with the calculated amounts. Afterwards it's pressed and taken to the mufla to get the percolation of the resin and its complete degradation up to a temperature of 900oC, pre-sintering and soften the silicates. After getting these green composites, it happens the second and final step, when the disks are sintered to decrease the porosity and improve its strength, followed by a superficial finish and cutting tests.porAcesso AbertoReciclagemPolímerosVidroAluminaMaterial cerâmicoSinterizaçãoRecyclingPolymersGlassCeramic materialSinteringDissertaçãoCNPQ::ENGENHARIAS::ENGENHARIA MECANICA::PROCESSOS DE FABRICACAO
