Abstract:
An abrasive segment can include an inner segment portion, an outer segment portion, and a central segment portion connected thereto. The inner segment portion can include an inner circumferential wall and an outer circumferential wall. Leading and trailing radial sidewalls can extend between the inner circumferential wall and the outer circumferential wall opposite each other. The outer segment portion can include an inner circumferential wall and an outer circumferential wall. Leading and trailing radial sidewalls can extend between the inner circumferential wall and the outer circumferential wall opposite each other. The central segment portion can include a leading radial sidewall and a trailing radial sidewall. The leading radial sidewall of the central segment portion can establish an acute angle, α, with respect to the outer circumferential wall of the inner segment portion and an obtuse angle, β, with respect the inner circumferential wall of the outer segment portion.
Abstract:
An abrasive article including a substrate having an elongated body, a tacking layer overlying the substrate, and a first type of abrasive particle overlying the tacking layer and defining a first abrasive particle concentration at least about 10 particles per mm of substrate.
Abstract:
An abrasive article includes a body having abrasive grains contained within a bond material comprising a metal or metal alloy, wherein the body comprises a ratio of VAG/VBM of at least about 1.3, wherein VAG is the volume percent of abrasive grains within the total volume of the body and VBM is the volume percent of bond material within the total volume of the body.
Abstract:
A coated abrasive article including a body having a backing including a spunlace polyester-based material and a saturant contained in the spunlace polyester-based material, the saturant including a material selected from the group of phenolic resin, acrylic, urea resin, and a combination thereof, and an abrasive layer overlying the backing including abrasive particles.
Abstract:
A method of removing material from a workpiece includes moving a coated abrasive over a receiving surface of a platen, the receiving surface having at least one opening configured for the flow of an ejection material therethrough, moving the platen and workpiece relative to each other to contact the coated abrasive to the workpiece and removing material from the workpiece, and controlling a flow pressure for the ejection material through the at least one opening during removing material from the workpiece, where the flow pressure of the ejection material can be adjusted based on at least one of the operation parameters such as a translation rate of the coated abrasive over the receiving surface, the weight of the coated abrasive, a material removal rate, a coefficient of friction between the coated abrasive and the platen, or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
A composition that can be used for abrasive processing is disclosed. The composition includes an organic bond material, an abrasive material dispersed in the organic bond material, and a plurality of microfibers uniformly dispersed in the organic bond material. The microfibers are individual filaments having an average length of less than about 1000 μm. Abrasive articles made with the composition exhibit improved strength and impact resistance relative to non-reinforced abrasive tools, and improved wheel wear rate and G-ratio relative to conventional reinforced tools. Active fillers that interact with microfibers may be used to further abrasive process benefits.
Abstract:
An abrasive article comprising a first group including a plurality of shaped abrasive particles overlying a backing, wherein the plurality of shaped abrasive particles of the first group define a first non-shadowing distribution relative to each other.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for manufacturing flat glass, comprising the following successive steps: (a) applying a layer of a glass frit to a glass textile, the glass of the frit and of the textile having essentially the same composition, (b) heating the glass textile bearing the layer of glass frit to a temperature T>TL−20° C., TL being the Littleton temperature of the glass frit, for a sufficient length of time to convert the layer of frit into an enamel layer of the same composition as the glass textile, and (c) cooling the glass textile impregnated with the enamel or bearing an enamel layer, obtained in step (b), so as to obtain a glass sheet. It also relates to a glass sheet capable of being obtained by this process.
Abstract:
An abrasive article comprising a first group including a plurality of shaped abrasive particles overlying a backing, wherein the plurality of shaped abrasive particles of the first group define a first non-shadowing distribution relative to each other.
Abstract:
A fixed abrasive article having a body including abrasive particles contained within a bond material, the abrasive particles including shaped abrasive particles or elongated abrasive particles having an aspect ratio of length:width of at least 1.1:1, each of the shaped abrasive particles or elongated abrasive particles having a predetermined position or a predetermined three-axis orientation.
