摘要:
Isostatic hot-pressing is adapted for the manufacture of sintered abrasive grains, including random shaped and preshaped tumbling media. Abrasive grains are preshaped from the desired material which has first been reduced to a submicron sized powdered, and then the preshaped particles are hot-pressed while suspended in a high temperature isostatic pressing medium like graphite, boron nitride or the like. The resulting sintered particles are denser and more finely crystalline than particles of the same composition made by other known methods.
