The present disclosure provides systems, devices, and methods for abrasive articles and manufacturing the same. An abrasive article can include a substrate shaped particles disposed on the substrate, wherein the shaped particles include first shaped abrasive particles and second shaped particles, and wherein a characteristic of the first shaped abrasive particles is different from a corresponding characteristic of the second shaped particles, and at least one binding agent securing the shaped particles to the substrate.

The present disclosure provides systems, devices, and methods for abrasive articles and manufacturing the same. A shaped abrasive particle placement tool can include a substrate including an abrasive particle receiving surface defining an x-y plane including an x-axis and a y-axis and a back surface opposite the abrasive particle receiving surface, cavities formed in the substrate, the cavities including one or more sidewalls, the cavities including a width and length at the abrasive article receiving surface, and a depth defined by a distance the first cavities extend from the abrasive article receiving surface towards the back surface in a direction parallel to a z-axis perpendicular to the x-y plane, and respective protrusions between two or more proximate cavities, the respective protrusions extending from the abrasive article receiving surface in a direction parallel to the z-axis and away from the back surface, and shaped abrasive particles situated in the cavities.

Abrasive articles and associated methods are shown that include abrasive particles arranged in one or more symbols on a backing substrate. Examples include shaped abrasive particles arranged into one or more symbols. Other examples include one or more wear particles with a height less than other abrasive particles, such that when exposed, the wear particles indicate a wear condition of the abrasive article.

Various embodiments disclosed relate to a shaped abrasive particle. The shaped abrasive particle includes at least four major faces and at least six edges joining the four major faces. One of the at least four major faces is a first rake face, a second of the at least four major faces is a second rake face. The first and second rake faces are predominantly joined along only one common edge. A dihedral angle between the first rake face and the second rake face is in a range of from about 71 degrees to about 170 degrees.

Abrasive articles, along with related compositions and methods, are provided. A first aspect relates to an abrasive article comprising a backing and an abrasive layer disposed on a major surface of the backing. The abrasive layer comprises a particulate mixture comprising formed abrasive particles and diluent abrasive particles. Based on the overall weight of the particulate mixture, about 0 wt. % to less than 10 wt. % formed abrasive particles having a substantially monodisperse particle size of from about 80 micrometers to about 120 micrometers; and about greater than 90 wt. % to about 99 wt. % diluent abrasive particles having a median particle size of from about 50 micrometers to about 250 micrometers.

The method generally involves the steps of filling the cavities in a production tool each with an individual abrasive particle. Aligning a filled production tool and a resin coated backing for transfer of the abrasive particles to the resin coated backing. Transferring the abrasive particles from the cavities onto the resin coated backing and removing the production tool from the aligned position with the resin coated backing. Thereafter the resin layer is cured, a size coat is applied and cured and the coated abrasive article is converted to sheet, disk, or belt form by suitable converting equipment.
