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 method of forming a mixture including a ceramic material into a sheet, sectioning at least a portion of the sheet using a mechanical object and forming at least one shaped abrasive particle from the sheet, such that the at least one shaped abrasive particle can have a two-dimensional shape as viewed in a plane defined by a length and a width of the shaped abrasive particle selected from the group consisting of polygons, ellipsoids, numerals, Greek alphabet characters, Latin alphabet characters, Russian alphabet characters, complex shapes having a combination of polygonal shapes, and a combination thereof.
Abstract:
Ceramic particulate material includes alumina particles, the particles having a specific surface area (SSA) not less than 15 m 2 /g and not greater than 75 m 2 /g and a sphericity quantified by at least one of (i) a means roundness not less than 0.710 as measured by Roundness Correlation Image Analysis, and (ii) a concavity less than 20%, wherein concavity is the percent of alumina particles based on a sample of at least 100 particles, which have a concve outer peripheral portion that extends along a distance not less than 10% of d 50 by TEM inspection, the concave outer peripheral portion having a negative radius of curvature as viewed from an interior of the particle.
Abstract:
A coated abrasive article having a substrate, a bond material overlying the substrate, and a layer of abrasive particles contained within the bond material, the abrasive particles comprising nanocrystalline alumina.
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:
In a particular embodiment, a particulate material includes alumina hydrate. The particulate material has a 500 psi Compaction Volume Ratio of at least about 4.0 cc/cc.
Abstract:
A shaped abrasive particle including a body having a first major surface, a second major surface, and a side surface joined to the first major surface and the second major surface, and the body has at least one partial cut extending from the side surface into the interior of the body.
Abstract:
A method of forming a shaped abrasive particle includes forming a first mixture and a second mixture in a single forming process into an integral precursor shaped abrasive particle, wherein the first mixture has a different composition than a composition of the second mixture.
