A bonded abrasive article comprises a plurality of abrasive particles, each particle having a coating of a catechol-like polymer resin on one side. The bonded abrasive article also comprises a phenolic resin binder that forms a bonded abrasive matrix of the bonded abrasive article. The plurality of abrasive particles are retained in the phenolic binder.

A sanding pad comprises a laminate structure of a deformable and flexible core layer defining a first surface and an opposing second surface, each said surface having a sandpaper layer affixed thereto, whereby each said sandpaper layer is bonded to a plurality of fabric features, such as pile loops defining a respective one of the first and second core surfaces, whereby the pile loops defining the first core surface can flex in an opposite direction from the pile loops defining the second core surface when the core layer is deformed and flexed. In this regard, the core layer can flex in a variety of directions and conform to a variety of shapes and geometries, including convex and concave contours. The sandpaper layers each comprise an abrasive grit mounted to a backing layer which is bonded to the pile loops of the core layer.

A bonded abrasive wheel is disclosed comprising a plurality of abrasive particles disposed in a binder, a first grinding surface, a second surface opposing the first grinding surface, and an outer circumference. The wheel comprises a rotational axis extending through a central hub and a circuit configured as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) unit coupled to the abrasive wheel. The circuit comprises an antenna configured to communicate with one or more external devices and comprising a first end and a second end, wherein antenna has a radius of curvature about an axis along at least a portion thereof such that the first end is disposed adjacent to but is spaced from the second end, and an integrated circuit (IC) operably coupled to the antenna and configured to store at least a first data.

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.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a shaped abrasive particle transfer assembly. The shaped abrasive particle transfer assembly includes a substrate including an adhesive and a plurality of shaped abrasive particles adhered to the substrate and forming a predetermined pattern thereon.

Abrasive preforms include a frame having first and second opposed parallel major surfaces. The first major surface has a plurality of first cavities formed therein. The second major surface optionally has a plurality of second cavities formed therein. The frame comprises a binder precursor material. Abrasive particles are disposed in at least a portion of the plurality of first cavities and optional plurality of second cavities. Methods of making abrasive articles using the abrasive preforms and bonded abrasive articles preparable thereby are also disclosed.

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.

A grinding wheel center hole protection pad is provided, which mainly include a positioning portion attached to the peripheral thereof and the guiding portions disposed at the center hole at the axial center thereof. The guiding portions serve as the isolation layer between the center hole of the grinding wheel and the peripheral plate guiding wall of a flange plate. Therefore, the grinding wheel can be closely attached to the flange plate during the assembling process to decrease eccentricity. Accordingly, it is not necessary to perform the cutting calibration process and balance adjustment by a cutting machine, which can reduce the waste of manpower and material resources.

A fixed abrasive article having a body including abrasive particles contained within a bond material, the abrasive particles including shaped abrasive particles or elongated abrasive particles having an aspect ratio of length:width of at least 1.1:1, each of the shaped abrasive particles or elongated abrasive particles having a predetermined position or a predetermined three-axis orientation, including a placement angle ranging from +90 degrees to −90 degrees and a rake angle ranging from +90 degrees to −90 degrees.

A bonded abrasive wheel is disclosed comprising a plurality of abrasive particles disposed in a binder, a first grinding surface, a second surface opposing the first grinding surface, and an outer circumference. The wheel comprises a rotational axis extending through a central hub and a circuit configured as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) unit coupled to the abrasive wheel. The circuit comprises an antenna configured to communicate with one or more external devices and comprising a first end and a second end, wherein antenna has a radius of curvature about an axis along at least a portion thereof such that the first end is disposed adjacent to but is spaced from the second end, and an integrated circuit (IC) operably coupled to the antenna and configured to store at least a first data.
