Steel industry is the one of the major consumer of industrial garnet among other manufacturing industries
The
industrial garnet, also known as peridot, or black tourmaline is an igneous
rock that has proven itself to be an excellent stone for various applications.
It can be used to manufacture glass and ceramic products. They are also used in
the automotive and power generation industries for manufacturing precision
components and parts. The amazing properties of this stone and the high demand
factor have made it a highly profitable gemstone.
The
industrial
garnet is classified based on geography, application, and product
category. Based on application, industrial garnet is further subdivided into
grossular, uvarovite, spessartine, almandine, andradrite. These gemstones are

Africa, United States, Sweden, Norway, and Japan. In India, the largest
deposits of this stone are located in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
Since
it is hard, this garnet is commonly used to manufacture steel. This stone has
the capability to increase the strength and hardness of a steel part, thereby
ensuring added strength, durability, and reliability. The stone's hardness is
one of the main reasons why it is used for abrasive hardness testing. The high
hardness of the garnet increases its cost.
