An abrasive article can include an abrasive aggregate with the abrasive aggregate having a plurality of silicon carbide particles bonded together by a binder material. The binder material can include a vitreous phase material, a crystalline phase material, or both. In an embodiment, the crystalline phase material can include an aluminosilicate material. In a particular embodiment, abrasive aggregates can be formed from a mixture including silicon carbide particles, a binder material, and a liquid carrier. The mixture can be formed into a number of green granules that are vibrated and heated on a platen. In an illustrative embodiment, the green granules can then be heated to form abrasive aggregates.
