ABRASIVE ARTICLE AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME
An abrasive article comprises a porous substrate having openings extending through the porous substrate between first and second opposed major surfaces. An abrasive coating is disposed on only a portion of a first major surface of the porous substrate. The abrasive coating comprises a functional layer disposed on only a portion of a first major surface of the porous substrate, a make layer disposed on at least a portion of the functional layer opposite the porous substrate, and abrasive particles. The functional layer and the make layer independently comprise chemically crosslinked binders. The functional layer fully occludes a first portion the openings and does not fully occlude a second portion of the openings, which permits passage of abraded swarf through the abrasive article. Methods of making the abrasive article are also disclosed.
Methods and precursor formulations for forming advanced polishing pads by use of an additive manufacturing process
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to advanced polishing pads with tunable chemical, material and structural properties, and new methods of manufacturing the same. According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, it has been discovered that a polishing pad with improved properties may be produced by an additive manufacturing process, such as a three-dimensional (3D) printing process. Embodiments of the present disclosure thus may provide an advanced polishing pad that has discrete features and geometries, formed from at least two different materials that include functional polymers, functional oligomers, reactive diluents, addition polymer precursor compounds, catalysts, and curing agents. For example, the advanced polishing pad may be formed from a plurality of polymeric layers, by the automated sequential deposition of at least one polymer precursor composition followed by at least one curing step, wherein each layer may represent at least one polymer composition, and/or regions of different compositions. Embodiments of the disclosure further provide a polishing pad with polymeric layers that may be interpenetrating polymer networks.
Abrasive articles including a saturant and an anti-loading size layer
The present disclosure relates to saturated or primed abrasive article constructions containing an anti-loading composition which significantly reduces loading, is coatable, is durable, and is relatively inexpensive to manufacture. In particular, the use of the anti-loading compositions of the present disclosure as a size coat at least reduces if not eliminates the need for a supersize coat, while offering comparable if not superior performance and durability. The abrasive article further includes an anti-loading size layer comprising a size coat binder and wax at least partially disposed on the abrasive layer.
3D PRINTED DIAMOND ABRASIVE STRUCTURES WITHOUT THE USE OF A MOLD
A resin bonded super abrasive tool. The tool is manufactured using a liquid 3D light cured solution printer (3D printing which uses a liquid resin super abrasive and secondary fillers). The liquid resin is mixed with effective amounts of the super abrasive material and secondary fillers, and they are co-deposited and cured by printer during the 3D printing process.
Large denier nonwoven fiber webs
Various embodiments disclosed relate to an abrasive article. The abrasive article includes a nonwoven web. The non-woven web includes a first irregular major surface and an opposite second irregular major surface. The nonwoven web further includes a fiber component comprising staple fibers having a linear density ranging from about 50 denier to about 2000 denier and a crimp index value ranging from about 15% to about 60%. The nonwoven web further includes a binder dispensed on the fiber component and abrasive particles dispersed throughout the nonwoven web.
COATED ABRASIVE ARTICLE AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME
A method of making a coated abrasive article comprises sequential steps: disposing a curable composition on a major surface of a backing b) adhering abrasive particles to the curable composition; c) at least partially curing the free-radically polymerizable component; and d) at least partially curing the phenolic resin component to provide an at least partially cured composition. The curable composition comprises a phenolic resin component, a free-radically polymerizable component, and an organic polymeric rheology modifier, wherein the organic polymeric rheology modifier comprises an alkali-swellable/soluble polymer, and wherein, on a solid basis, the organic polymeric rheology modifier comprises from 0.001 to 5 weight percent of the phenolic resin component, the free-radically polymerizable component, and the organic polymeric rheology modifier combined. A variant wherein step b) effectively occurs after step c) is also disclosed. Abrasive articles made according to the methods are also disclosed.
MESH ABRASIVE AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME
A method of making a mesh abrasive product comprises sequentially: 1) providing a production tool having a mold surface defining a plurality of shaped cavities and filling at least some of the shaped cavities with an abrasive composite precursor slurry, wherein the abrasive composite precursor slurry comprises abrasive particles dispersed within a curable binder precursor; 2) contacting the mold surface with an open mesh backing comprising interwoven threads defining openings, and having first and second opposed major sides; 3) ultrasonically vibrating the abrasive composite precursor slurry; 4) curing the curable binder precursor by exposing it to sufficient actinic electromagnetic radiation to provide isolated shaped abrasive composites contacting and secured to the first major side of the open mesh backing; and 5) separating the mesh abrasive product from the production tool.
