AB  - The waste resulting from construction and demolition process increased greatly in the last few
decades resulting in the highest percentage of wastes. Using waste to produce artificial abrasives be one of
the options to preserve the nonrenewable materials and minimize cost. In this study, the waste of building brick
and glazed ceramic tiles were used to develop a bonding abrasive in form of the particulate composite using
epoxy resin as a matrix. The waste of the two materials was crushed to obtain grits of 150, 300, 1200 μm sizes.
Hardness and wear rate were investigated for the abrasive composite specimens which carried out under
different conditions that emulate the abrasives working conditions, i.e., the heat results from friction causing
post cure to the polymer beside the effect of coolant. The highest hardness results along with low wear are
shown by glazed ceramic tiles waste. It can be concluding that each of the post-cure and room temperature
conditions gives the best results for both materials whilst the post-cure and immersion together possess the
poorest results.
