A compoundless buff and method of making a compoundless buff using a coating solution formulated with abrasive particles dispersed or suspended using a surfactant or suspension agent and which also contains a self-crosslinking acrylic binder emulsion that binds abrasive particles to nonwoven cloth of a buffing article when the coating solution is applied thereto forming a relatively hard abrasive-containing coating that enables the buffing article to abrasively treat a surface without having to separately apply any buffing or polishing compound. A preferred coating solution formulation further contains a lubricant emulsion that produces a lubricant and abrasive-containing coating of the buff having lubricant interspersed with binder and abrasive particles thereby reducing friction during buffing or polishing. A preferred coating solution also contains at least one surfactant to disperse the abrasive, suspension agent to keep the abrasive suspended, and buffering agent to keep the pH of the solution so it remains flowable.

An abrasive article can include a body including a plurality of portions including a first abrasive portion and a second abrasive portion. The first abrasive portion can include a vitreous bond material and abrasive particles contained within the bond material. The second abrasive particles can include an organic bond material and abrasive particles contained within the bond material. The body can have a burst speed of at least 65 m/s. In an embodiment, the abrasive article can include an interior portion coupled to the first and second abrasive portions. In another embodiment, the interior portion can optionally include abrasive particles or a filler material.

Systems and methods include providing a coated abrasive article with a substrate formed from a plurality of hygroscopic fibers, an abrasive layer comprising a make coat, a size coat, a supersize coat, or combinations thereof disposed on a first side of substrate, and an anti-curl layer disposed on a second side of the substrate. The polymer-based anti-curl layer allows the coated abrasive article to achieve a change in curl between −5 millimeters and 25 millimeters, the change in curl being expressed as the curl of the coated abrasive article in millimeters at 90% relative humidity minus the curl of the coated abrasive article in millimeters at 20% relative humidity. The coated abrasive article exhibits substantially no loss of grinding performance, burst speed, or a combination thereof as compared to coated abrasive articles free of the anti-curl layer.

The present disclosure relates to abrasive articles including conformable coatings, e.g. a hydrophilic coating, and polishing systems therefrom. The present disclosure provides an abrasive article including a ceramic body having an abrading surface and an opposed second surface, wherein the abrading surface of the ceramic body includes a plurality of engineered features each having a base and a distal end opposite the base and the ceramic body has a Mohs hardness of at least 7.5; a conformable metal oxide coating adjacent to and conforming to the plurality of engineered features, wherein the conformable metal oxide coating includes a first surface; and a conformable polar organic-metallic coating in contact with the first surface of the conformable metal oxide coating, wherein the conformable polar organic-metallic coating includes a chemical compound having at least one metal and an organic moiety having at least one polar functional group.

A method of making a coated abrasive article includes disposing a precursor make layer on a major surface of the backing, optionally partially curing the precursor make layer to provide a partially cured precursor make layer, disposing abrasive particles; partially embedding abrasive particles in the optionally partially cured precursor make layer; and further curing the optionally partially cured precursor make layer to form a make layer. The precursor make layer comprises components comprising: a) 50 to 97.99 percent by weight of phenol-formaldehyde resin; b) 1 to 49 percent by weight of resorcinol-formaldehyde resin; c) 1 to 49 percent by weight of at least one compound having at least one free-radically polymerizable group; and d) 0.01 to 1 percent by weight of a free-radical initiator. A size layer and/or supersize layer may be disposed over the make layer and abrasive articles. Coated abrasive articles made by the method are also disclosed.

A method of making a coated abrasive article is disclosed. A backing has first and second opposed major surfaces. A make layer precursor is disposed on at least a portion of the first major surface. Magnetizable abrasive particles are disposed onto the make layer precursor while under the influence of an applied magnetic field. At least a majority the magnetizable abrasive particles extend away from the make layer precursor in an orientation substantially aligned with the applied magnetic field. Non-magnetizable particles are then disposed onto the make layer precursor while under the influence of the applied magnetic field. At least some of the non-magnetizable particles are disposed between the magnetizable abrasive particles. Then, the make layer precursor is at least partially cured to provide a make layer.

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.

An abrasive article can include a body including a plurality of portions including a first abrasive portion and a second abrasive portion. The first abrasive portion can include a vitreous bond material and abrasive particles contained within the bond material. The second abrasive particles can include an organic bond material and abrasive particles contained within the bond material. The body can have a burst speed of at least 65 m/s. In an embodiment, the abrasive article can include an interior portion coupled to the first and second abrasive portions. In another embodiment, the interior portion can optionally include abrasive particles or a filler material.

The present application relates to a composite binding agent grinding wheel, wherein a weight percentage of each raw material of the grinding wheel is: 45-65% of pretreatment abrasive, 8-20% of resin bonding agent, 5-12% of hexagonal boron nitride, 5-10% of silicon dioxide, 5-15% of ceramic powder, 6-12% of prealloy powder bonding agent, and 1-3% of boron powder. The composite binding agent super-hard grinding wheel prepared by the present application can achieve nano-level grinding surface quality when grinding epitaxial wafers, and the grinding wheel has strong self-sharpening and high sharpness. It has obvious advantages in the finishing of silicon carbide crystal epitaxial wafers, which can solve the current limitations of back thinning processing of silicon carbide crystal epitaxial wafers.
