The present invention relates to sintered polycrystalline flat-shaped geometrically structured ceramic abrasive elements designed for the use in resin bonded wheels, particularly in cut-off wheels. The present invention also relates to a method of making such sintered polycrystalline flat-shaped geometrically structured ceramic abrasive elements and the use thereof.

An abrasive tool can include a bonded abrasive including a body and a barrier layer bonded to a major surface of the body. The body can include abrasive particles contained within a bond material. The barrier material can include a metal-containing film. In an embodiment, the barrier layer may further include a polymer-containing film. In another embodiment, the barrier layer may include a biaxially oriented material. The abrasive tool may be formed such that the barrier layer is formed in-situ with the formation of the bonded abrasive.

Tool cores may have removable sections, which may be removable without damaging, cutting or severing attachment configurations for the removable sections. The removable sections may be handled simultaneously. Moving parts used to facilitate removal of the removable sections may be secured in a pre-loaded configuration.

There is provided a vitrified bond super-abrasive grinding wheel including: a core; and a super-abrasive grain layer provided on the core, wherein the super-abrasive grain layer includes a plurality of super-abrasive grains and a vitrified bond that joins the plurality of super-abrasive grains, and the vitrified bond has a plurality of bond bridges located between the plurality of super-abrasive grains to join the plurality of super-abrasive grains, not less than 80% of the plurality of super-abrasive grains are joined to the super-abrasive grains adjacent thereto by the bond bridges, and not less than 90% of the plurality of bond bridges in a cross section of the super-abrasive grain layer have a thickness equal to or smaller than an average grain size of the super-abrasive grains, and have a length greater than the thickness.

A machining segment for a machining tool which is rotatable in a direction of rotation about an axis of rotation includes an underside where the machining segment is connectable to a basic body of the machining tool by the underside. A machining zone has a matrix material and a plurality of first hard material particles where the plurality of first hard material particles are disposed in the matrix material in accordance with a defined particle pattern. Each of the plurality of first hard material particles has a respective projection in relation to the matrix material on an upper side of the machining segment. The projection of at least one of the plurality of first hard material particles is greater than 400 μm.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a bonded abrasive article precursor (100). The bonded abrasive article precursor (100) includes an abrasive layer comprising a plurality of shaped abrasive particles (102) disposed on an adhesive (106) and forming a predetermined pattern.

A tool for generating tooth systems by grinding when the maximum tool diameter is limited by collision contours on the workpiece has a dressable grinding tool that is tightly connected to the tool holder. In one preferred arrangement, the dressable grinding tool is glued on the tool holder.

Methods of making abrasive articles involve adhering shaped abrasive particles to a reinforcing member according to a predetermined pattern and optionally orientation, and depositing a space-filling binder precursor on the reinforcing member and shaped abrasive particles to provide a filled abrasive preform, disposing another reinforcing member onto the filled abrasive preform, and curing the abrasive article precursor to form the abrasive articles. In some aspects, multiple abrasive preforms are stacked on each other. Bonded abrasive wheels preparable according to the methods are also disclosed.
