摘要:
A straight, thin, monolithic abrasive wheel formed of hard and rigid abrasive grains and a sintered bond including a metal component and an active metal component exhibits superior stiffness. The metal component can be selected from among many sinterable metal compositions. The active metal is a metal capable of reacting to form a bond with the abrasive grains at sintering conditions and is present in an amount effective to integrate the grains and sintered bond into a grain-reinforced composite. A diamond abrasive, copper/tin/titanium sintered bond abrasive wheel is preferred. Such a wheel is useful for abrading operations in the electronics industry, such as cutting silicon wafers and alumina-titanium carbide pucks. The stiffness of the novel abrasive wheels is higher than conventional straight monolithic wheels and therefore improved cutting precision and less chipping can be attained without increase of wheel thickness and concomitant increased kerf loss.

A disc-shaped, rotary dressing tool has a rigid core and an abrasive rim around at least one surface of the periphery of the rigid core. The rigid core and the abrasive rim are oriented in a direction orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the tool. In an embodiment, the abrasive rim comprises an abrasive component bonded to the rigid core by means of an active braze. The abrasive component can be diamond grains arranged in a single layer or diamond film inserts. In a particular embodiment, the abrasive component can comprise a plurality of abrasive inserts mechanically fastened to the rigid core. In another embodiment, the abrasive rim can comprise strips of an abrasive component with each strip being filled into slots machined into and through the perimeter of the core.

A dressing blade for finishing and reconditioning new and used abrasive grinding and cutting tools has a slab-shaped shank with an extension protruding longitudinally from the shank. Superabrasive grains are disposed on the surface of the extension and held in place by a brazed metal composition. This composition is formed by brazing a powdered mixture of brazing metal components and active metal components. Specific extension configurations are provided which allow aligning the superabrasive grains in single layer arrangement for precise dressing and simple fabrication of the tool. The novel dressing tool exhibits excellent wear characteristics.

A wire saw has a small diameter metal wire and a layer of abrasive grains firmly affixed to the wire surface by a brazed active metal bond. Preferably, the grains are present in a single layer. The grains are disposed on the surface of the wire in a preselected surface distribution. The wire saw can be made by a completely continuous process involving coating the wire with a paste of metal bond powder components combined with a fugitive liquid binder composition. Abrasive grains are deposited into a layer of the paste. Thereafter, the bond composition is fused at elevated temperature to braze the grains to the wire. The abrasive grains can include superabrasive materials, such as diamond and cubic boron nitride. Accordingly, the novel wire saw is suitable for cutting ultra thin wafers ceramic wafers with minimum waste of the work piece.

This invention relates to a method of cutting, comprising the steps of: a) providing an abrasive cutting tool comprising: i) a substrate surface having a plurality of teeth extending therefrom, and ii) a single layer of abrasive grains chemically bonded to at least a portion of each tooth to define a plurality of cutting levels parallel to the substrate surface, the cutting levels comprising a first uppermost cutting level and a second uppermost cutting level, the grains having a predetermined concentration, size and toughness, b) moving the substrate surface in an intended direction of rotation, c) contacting the uppermost cutting level of at least one tooth to a workpiece at a point of contact, d) applying a constant force to the tool directed at the point of contact, wherein the constant force is sufficient to cut the workpiece, the strength of the bond is sufficient to resist peeling, the predetermined concentration, size and toughness of the plurality of grains are such that the grains of the uppermost cutting level fracture under application of the constant force, and the hardness and thickness of the teeth are such that the portion of each tooth associated with the first uppermost cutting level abrades at about the same rate as the grains of the first uppermost cutting level fracture, thereby causing essentially simultaneous removal of the grains of the first uppermost cutting level from their bond and abrasion of the portion of each tooth associated with the first uppermost cutting level, and grains of the second uppermost cutting level to the worpiece.
摘要:
An abrasive article including from about 40 to about 80 volume percent interconnected porosity, the article being useful as a segment for a segmented grinding wheel, and a method for fabricating the same. The method includes blending a mixture of abrasive grain, bond material and dispersoid particles, the mixture including from about 40 to about 80 volume percent dispersoid particles. In one embodiment the mixture includes from about 50 to about 80 volume percent dispersoid particles. In another embodiment the mixture includes an organic bond material and from about 40 to about 80 volume percent dispersoid particles. The powder mixture is then pressed into an abrasive laden composite and thermally processed. After cooling the composite is immersed into a solvent, which dissolves substantially all of the dispersoid particles, leaving a highly porous, bonded abrasive article.
