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:
An abrasive article including a core including an organic material and a first bonded abrasive body integrally bonded directly to the core, the first bonded abrasive body having abrasive particles contained within a bond material and the abrasive article having a bonding factor of at least about 60%.
Abstract:
An abrasive article includes a backing having first and second major surfaces, an abrasive layer overlying the first major surface, and a polymeric layer overlying the second major surface. The polymeric layer includes an elastomeric material having a Shore a durometer of about 55 to about 95.
Abstract:
A cutting wheel includes a body having a bond material. The bond material comprises at least about 31 vol % of a total volume of the body. Additionally, the body includes abrasive particles contained within the bond material. The abrasive particles include a first type of abrasive particle including black alumina with at least about 10 vol % of a total volume of the abrasive particles including black alumina. In some instances the cutting wheel can include a chop saw, while in other situations, the cutting wheel can include a cut-off wheel.
Abstract:
An abrasive article includes a polymer matrix and abrasive grains dispersed in the polymer matrix, wherein the abrasive article has a void volume of at least 50%. The polymer matrix is polymerized from a monomer including at least one double bond.
Abstract:
An abrasive article including a disc including a central axis; a primary outer edge substantially coaxial with the central axis and having a circumferential length, L1; a secondary outer edge substantially coaxial with the central axis and coplanar with the primary outer edge, the secondary outer edge having a circumferential length, L2, wherein L2 is less than L1; and a structurally weakened portion extending substantially adjacent to the secondary outer edge. In an embodiment, the abrasive article further includes a shedable portion configured to rupture the structurally weakened portion when the shedable portion is removed from the abrasive disc. In another aspect, an abrasive article having an initial outer circumferential length, LI, and a length of deliberately exposable circumferential edge surface, LOE, wherein LOE is greater than LI.
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:
An abrasive article including a bonded abrasive body including a bond material having a metal, abrasive particles contained within the bond material, and a filler blend including fine filler particles and coarse filler particles and defining a filler particle size ratio (Ff/Fc) of not greater than about 0.97, where Ff represents the average particle of the fine filler particles and Fc represents the average particle size of the coarse filler particles.
Abstract:
A method of forming a complex form in a workpiece includes moving a grinding tool having a complex shape relative to a surface of a workpiece to form a complex shape opening in the workpiece, and the grinding tool is tilted in a lateral plane relative to the workpiece.
Abstract:
An abrasive article includes a blade body having an axis of rotation, and a peripheral edge comprising a plurality of blade segments with perimeter edges. Adjacent ones of the blade segments may be separated from each other by a slot that extends into the blade body at least partially in a radial direction with respect to the axis. At least one blade segment may include a plurality of apertures extending axially therethrough, comprising a perimeter edge aperture that intersects the perimeter edge, and at least two interior apertures are radially offset from and do not intersect the perimeter edge. An abrasive portion may include a bond material and abrasive particles, the abrasive portion overlies at least portions of the blade segments.
