A gear-grinding multilayer grindstone includes a rough machining portion and a finish machining portion that are disposed adjacent to each other on a rotational axis. The rough machining portion includes a first core and a rough machining grindstone that is held on the first core. The finish machining portion includes a second core that is adjacent to the first core, and a finish machining grindstone that is held on the second core. The first core and the second core are fixed to each other, without the rough machining grindstone and the finish machining grindstone being fixed at least at outer peripheral portions thereof to each other.

Coated abrasive articles comprises a backing having a major surface with an abrasive layer disposed thereon. The abrasive layer has an outer major surface comprising ridges separated by valleys, wherein the abrasive layer comprises magnetizable particles and abrasive particles in a binder. Each of the ridges is irregularly shaped and is oriented along at least a portion of its length substantially parallel to adjacent ridges. Methods of making the same involving a modulated magnetic field are also disclosed.

The hollow microballoons for CMP polishing pad of the invention are formed of at least one resin selected from the group consisting of a melamine resin, a urea resin and an amide resin and have an average particle size of 1 to 100 μm. According to the invention, there can be provided hollow microballoons for CMP polishing pad, which, when used in CMP polishing pad, exhibit excellent polishing characteristics, and can stably produce CMP polishing pad even in production of CMP polishing pad.

An abrasive article includes a first plurality of abrasive particles and a second plurality of abrasive particles. The first plurality of abrasive particles differ in at least one of a size, an average weight and a shape from the second plurality of abrasive particles. The first plurality of abrasive particles are spaced from the second plurality of abrasive particles by at least a minimum distance in the x-axis direction, and both the first plurality of abrasive particles and the second plurality of abrasive particles extend in similar paths to one another with respect to the y-axis.
