  • a coated abrasive article has been described which incorporates hollow microspheres in a size and/or make coat layer located in-between a backing and an abrasive grain coating (U.S. Pat. No. 4,543,106 (Parekh)).
  • the microspheres in Parekh reside in a relatively flat-surfaced resin coating (make and/or size), whereas the abrasive grains principally rest upon and project from the surface of the make coat resin layer.

  • This modification is made to enhance the erodability of the composites.
  • Altering the erodability of the composites using relatively soft materials in conjunction with the hard materials (viz., resin binder, abrasive particles) of an abrasive composite can affect the aggressiveness of the abrasive article. The desirability of this effect may depend on the ultimate use envisioned for the abrasive article.

  • the invention provides an abrasive article comprising a plurality of abrasive composites attached to a backing, the composites comprising abrasive particles and hollow spheres dispersed in a binder, wherein the abrasive particles comprise at least about 10 vol. _ and the hollow spheres comprise at least about 15 vol. %, respectively, of the total volume of the composites.
  • the hollow spheres comprise hollow spherical bodies or balloons formed of glass or ceramic, or a temperature-resistant polymeric material.
  • the hollow spheres are "microspheres", and are occasionally referred to as such herein, in the sense that the hollow spheres have a diameter of from about 4 to about 250 micrometers and a median diameter of from about 25 to about 125 micrometers, although both larger and smaller diameters could also be useful.
  • Such hollow spheres generally have a shell thickness of from about 3 to about 15% of the diameter of the hollow sphere.
  • the average volume percentage occupied by the hollow spheres in the abrasive composites is at least about 15, more preferably at least about 25, and most preferably between about 35 and about 50.

  • low density hollow spheres used in the present invention contain entrapped gas.
  • the binder matrix of the abrasive composites is filled with and encapsulates the hollow spheres to form a closed cellular-like structure.
  • the incorporation of the hollow spheres into the abrasive composites of a structured abrasive article results in significant savings in resin and abrasive particle costs.
  • the hollow spheres take up a considerable percentage of the volume of the abrasive composites that otherwise would be occupied by abrasive particles and/or resin. Consequently, the inclusion of the hollow spheres in the abrasive composites effectively reduces the amount of binder resin and abrasive particles required and thereby extends the supply of these production materials. This translates into a substantial cost reduction in the fabrication of the abrasive article.
  • no appreciable decrease in the cut rate of the abrasive article is observed even though the amount of abrasive particles in the composite is greatly reduced.
  • inclusion of the hollow spheres in the composites of a structured abrasive also has allowed an increase in the resin to abrasive particles ratio within the slurry while maintaining acceptable cut performance.
  • This increase in the resin to abrasive particles ratio within the slurry is achieved while maintaining and without sacrificing acceptable cut performance.
  • This increase in the resin to abrasive particles ratio effectively reduces the viscosity of the slurry to a more processable level while reducing the amount of abrasive particles needed to achieve the same result.

  • radiation such as ultraviolet (U.V.) and/or visible light
  • U.V. ultraviolet
  • visible light used to effect cure of the binder resin in the abrasive composites can transmit more easily through the composite, resulting in more extensively cured binder.
  • another advantage of the enhanced passage and penetration of the radiation through the binder matrices of the composite, as enabled by the hollow spheres is that slurries comprising relatively darker colored abrasive particles, such as black silicon carbide, ceria or diamond, or other opaque abrasive particles, can be thoroughly cured.

  • some of the hollow spheres are situated in the immediate surface regions of the composites and, among these, some have partly exposed surfaces. This is a natural consequence of the blending of the hollow spheres throughout the binder matrix. Prior to usage in an abrading operation, the vast majority of the hollow spheres typically will be completely embedded within the binder matrix of the composites and will only be subject to exposure during an actual abrading operation as consequence of composite erosion. However, the initial exposure of some hollow spheres poses no drawback, and it may be helpful in promoting the initial breakdown of any composite tips.
  • a successful abrasive article is one that is able to provide a high cut rate, while maintaining a sufficiently low surface finish on a workpiece, i.e., Ra and Rz. Additionally, the abrasive article preferably has a long useful working life.
  • the cut rate, surface finish, and generally article life depend on the composition of the composite. Many times, the desired properties are directly adverse. For example, a low (and desirable) surface finish may simply be the result of a very low cut rate.
  • an abrasive article with a high cut rate may abrade so quickly and coarse that several sequential grades of abrasive articles are needed in order to refine the surface finish.
  • the topography, abrasive particles, any fillers, and bubbles are important constituents in a useful abrasive article.

These boundaries separate one abrasive composite from another to some degree. These boundaries are readily visible and discernible when a cross-section of an abrasive article of this invention is viewed under a scanning electron microscope.
  • Such precise shapes can be formed, for example, by at least partially curing the curable binder of a flowable mixture of an uncured binder precursor, abrasive particles, and the hollow spheres, while the mixture is both being formed on a backing and filling a cavity on the surface of a production tool, and then removing the cured binder to form a composite.

  • the density of the composites can be between about 5 and about 15,000 composites per square centimeter, preferably between about 2,000 and about 10,000 composites per square centimeter.

However in some instances, such as when a high volume percentage of bubbles is desired, it may be best to have a wide distribution of bubble sizes. A wide distribution of sizes will allow a tighter and denser, and thus higher, packing of bubbles in the composite. Further, at times it may be desirable to mix two types of bubbles. The two types of bubbles could differ, for example, by their size distribution, median size, wall thickness, or composition material (e.g., glass, clay, polymer).
