Surfaces can be smoothed down by rasps, files, and rifflers or by carborundum and emery, and the addition of water avoids a build-up of dust. |

Control plants were also dusted with carborundum and mock inoculated with a sample volume of potassium phosphate buffer. |
|
Soot, carbon black, platinum black, and carborundum are among the materials that come closest to a blackbody in the real world. |

Each specimen was cut and polished along the median dorsoventral plane with a graded series of carborundum and diamond pastes. |

A compound known as silicon carbide, also known as carborundum, is one of the hardest substances known. |

A recent exhibit of his work at the Philadelphia Museum of Art featured his carborundum prints, his etchings, lithographs, aquatints and watercolors. |
|
Before inoculating, 600-mesh carborundum was dusted on the leaves. |
|
This requires an extra carborundum peeler. |
|
The capacity of the CRP is determined by the size and quality of the product to be peeled, the number of rollers, the kind of carborundum on the rollers and the desired peeling result. |
|
This can most readily be done by use of carborundum marking. The procedure involves successive marking of the same mat with layers of carborundum at least twice. |
