Description
C~N _~I nING WiiF.F.L Docket RD-1637 FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to orqanic bonded grinding wheels containing cubic boron nitride abrasive and active fillers.
5 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
~ o-calle~ active fillers such as metal sulfide and haloqen salts such as cryolite which have reactivity toward the material being around have been employed in conventional aluminum oxide abrasive containing orqanic bonded grinding 10 wheels for manv years.
Such qrindinq aid ~illers have not been used in qrindinq wheels containing diamond qrits as the abrasive, because the i~portant use of diamond wheels is in qrinding carbides, qlass and ceramics, particularly ~for resin bonded 15 wheels) in qrinding hard carbides. Grinding aids suitable for qrindinq steel, for example, are of no apparent advantage in carbide qrindinq.
The development of diamond grindinq wheels began in the 1930's, and, until the late 1960's, diamond was the sole 20 "super" abrasive, much harder than the conventional aluminum oxide and silicon carbide abrasives. Concurrent with the development of synthetic diamond bv the hiqh pressure-high tem~erature method tau~ht in General Electric patents issued in the 1960's, the hiqh density cubic form of boron nitride 25 (CBN) having a hardness similar to diamond was discovered, by a~piyin~ hiqh pressur~ to hexagonal ~oron ni~ride at hiqh temperature and in the presence of a catalyst, as disclosed in U.S. Patent 2,947,617.
,~
~ hile not superior to diamond in the grinding of carbides (e.q. cementecl tunqsten carbide) cubic boron nitride (CsN) has been Eound to be superior to diamond when ferrous metals, particularly tool steels are beinq ground. Thus C~N
5 wheels can be superior to diamond wheels in the grinding of tools which combine hard carbides and steels.
Althouqh C~N wheels have been made and tested by others, containinq specific qrinding aids, so far as is known, no commercial use has been made of grindin~ aid 10 fillers in resin bonded C~N wheels.
British Patent 834,351, published in 1960 teaches the use of metal sulfides together with alkali-metal salts such as sulfates as fillers in conventional abrasive wheels for qrindinq alloy steels. While the pat~nt refers to 15 abrasives generally, and lists diamond, such fillers, so far as is known, have never been commercially employed in diamond wheels or in CBN wheels.
Gerrnan Patent P2230701, to Winter h Sohn discloses employinq zinc sulfide with cryolite as a ~rinding aid in 20 stick form to be applied to the workpiece. No suq~estion of incorporatinq the qrindinq aids in the wheel bond appears in the patent.
_MMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is the inclusion in CBN
25 orqanic resin bonded wheels of an iron sulfide filler together with sodium or potassium sulfate. Somewhat inferior to the iron sulfide/alkali sulfate filler are cryolite, or potassium aluminum tetrafluoride, or hexafluoride, in the amount of 8 to 50% bv volume of the qrinding section of the 30 toolO Obviously, combinations of these fillers can be employed. Such wheels, in dry qrinding of tool steels, or qrinding of tool steels in combination with cemented carbides~ show equivalent or better results than the best prior art wheels usinq hond compositions containing silver 35 and drv film lubricants. Elimination of the need for silver is a ma~or economic henefit. These wheels also are advantaqeous in providing qreater freeness of cut and thus more rapid cut of the workpiece.
()3 DE'~\ILF.D DE~ CRIP'rION OF THE INVF.NTION
Wheels according to the present invention may be prepared as followsO
Wheel Pre~aration An intimate mixture of fillers and the csN abrasive is prepared. Fillers are those active materials included as the suh~ect of the application as well as other inert substances. The mixture is then coated with a liquid pickup aqent. A finely divided powdered resin is then mixed with 10 the liquid coated abrasive/filler mixture so as to coat the surfaces of the abrasive and filler particles evenly with resin. In the usual practice, phenolic novolak resin with hexamethylene tetramine crosslinking aqent is chosen as the resin and furfural as the liquid pickup agent.
A typical formulation which illustrates the invention is:
InqredientPercent bv Volume FeS2 11 .SiC 8 Furfural 2 Resin 38 CaO 2 This mixture is then distributed evenly in a groove molded or machined around the circumference of a core. The core is composed of finely divided aluminum powder and resin which has previously been compressed either cold or hot. The wheel, which now consists of the core and circumferentially 30 located abrasive section, is hot pressed to melt and fuse the resin bondinq both the abrasive section and the core.
Pressures to 50 tsi and temperatures from 140 to 200c are applied to the wheel during a period of one-~uarter to one hour to form the wheei Subsequent to this operation the 35 wheel may be heated to a temDerature higher than the molding temperature at at~ospheric pressure to improve grinding characteristics. Finally, the ~heel is machined to prepare a product to standard and fixed dimensional specifications.
~8~
f)ther thermosetti.llg resins or e~uival.ents can be e,lPloyed. The wheels may be straight cyli~drical wheels (lAl shape), or may be cup wheels as in the example above, or mav be any other conventional shape.
S The active filler should be present in a total amount of ~rom 8% to 50% by volume of the qrinding section of the wheel. The ratio of FeS2 to alkali sulfate may be from 4/1 to 1/4 by volume, but is preferably from 40/60 to ~0/40 by volume. Sodium sulfate may replace all or part of the 10 ~254'
