A method of polishing a workpiece can include placing a workpiece on a support structure. In an embodiment, the method can also include contacting the workpiece with an abrasive segment. The abrasive segment can include a plurality of abrasive aggregates that include silicon carbide particles bound together in a binder material. Additionally, the method can include moving the abrasive segment and the workpiece relative to each other.
Abstract:
An abrasive grain is disclosed and may include a body. The body may define a length (l), a height (h), and a width (w). In a particular aspect, the length is greater than or equal to the height and the height is greater than or equal to the width. Further, in a particular aspect, the body may include a primary aspect ratio defined by the ratio of length:height of at least about 2:1. The body may also include an upright orientation probability of at least about 50%.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A method for making abrasive grains, the method comprising mixing one or more solids with one or more liquids in a twin screw extruder to form a mixture, transferring the mixture to a high pressure piston extruder; and extruding the mixture from the high pressure piston extruder through a die to form an extrude. The method further includes segmenting the extrudate to form extruded shaped abrasive particles.
