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:
A particulate material having a body including a first phase having at least about 70 wt% alumina for a total weight of the first phase, and a second phase comprising phosphorus, wherein the body includes at least about 0.1 wt% of the second phase for the total weight of the body, and wherein the second phase has an average grain size of not greater than about 1 micron.
Abstract:
An abrasive article includes an abrasive particulate material made of alumina crystals and a primary additive composition impregnated within the abrasive particulate material, the primary additive composition including a combination of Mg and Ca, wherein Mg and Ca are present in an additive ratio [Mg:Ca] within a range between about 1:1 and about 10:1, and further comprising at least about 0.2 wt% Ca for the total weight of the abrasive particulate material..
