Systems and methods include providing a coated abrasive article with an enhanced anti-loading composition in a supersize coat. The anti-loading composition includes a mixture of a metal stearate, at least one performance component, and a polymeric binder composition.

A grinding tool, such as a cutting disc, includes a matrix, in particular a sintered metal matrix, and diamonds embedded in the matrix. At least the majority of the diamonds are each assigned at least one wear-promoting particle and/or at least one wear-inhibiting particle. The at least one wear-promoting particle and the at least one wear-inhibiting particle are likewise embedded in the matrix.

Fibers for diamond-impregnated cutting tools and their associated methods for manufacture and use are described. A matrix is formed that contains fibers made from carbon, glass, ceramic, polymer, and the like. The matrix is then sintered to form a cutting portion of a drill bit. The type and concentration of the fibers can be modified to control the tensile strength and the erosion rate of the matrix to optimize the cutting performance of the tools. Additionally, the fibers may be added to the cutting section to weaken the structure and allow higher modulus binders to be used for the cutting tools at a lower cost, allowing the amount of fibers to be tailored to retain the diamonds in the cutting portion for the desired amount. As the cutting portion erodes, the fibers may also increase the lubricity at the face of the cutting portion.

A composition that can be used for abrasive processing is disclosed. The composition includes an organic bond material, an abrasive material dispersed in the organic bond material, and a plurality of microfibers uniformly dispersed in the organic bond material. The microfibers are individual filaments having an average length of less than about 1000 m. Abrasive articles made with the composition exhibit improved strength and impact resistance relative to non-reinforced abrasive tools, and improved wheel wear rate and G-ratio relative to conventional reinforced tools. Active fillers that interact with microfibers may be used to further abrasive process benefits.

An abrasive article can include a body including abrasive particles contained in the body and ceramic particles contained within a bond material. The ceramic particles can have an average particle size D50c of at least 2 microns and at most 75 microns. The abrasive particles can include an average particle size D50a greater than the average particle size D50c.
