Definitions

  • the present invention relates to abrasive members and in particular to flexible abrasive members incorporating abrasive particles.
  • Such abrasive members are useful in grinding, smoothing and other operations on glass, stone, or other materials, and in particular for use as industrial abrasives as a longer-lasting alternative to conventional sanding products.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,256,467 issued August 17, 1981 to Ian Gorsuch discloses a flexible abrasive member comprising a flexible non-electrically conductive mesh material and a layer of electrodeposited metal adhering directly to and extending through the mesh material so that the mesh material is embedded in the metal layer. Abrasive material is embedded in the metal layer.
  • the flexible abrasive member is manufactured by first laying a length of flexible non-­electrically mesh material onto a conductive surface so that the mesh material is in immovable relationship with the conductive surface. A layer of metal is then electrodeposited onto the smooth surface through the mesh material in the presence of abrasive material so that the abrasive material becomes embedded in the metal layer and the metal layer adheres to the mesh. Finally, the mesh and the associated metal layer with the embedded abrasive material are stripped from the electrically conductive surface to constitute the abrasive member.
  • the electrically conductive smooth surface is formed by a cylinder of stainless steel.
  • the mesh material is attached under tension to the surface of the cylinder.
  • the cylinder is prepared by a relatively complex procedure, which involves applying an electrically insulating acid photo resist to the stainless steel cylinder in the desired pattern to form a stencil.
  • An object of the invention is to alleviate the aforementioned problem of the prior art.
  • a method of forming a flexible abrasive member comprising providing a length of flexible fabric, applying a flexible mask of non-electrically conductive material having a multitude of discrete openings therein to one surface of said flexible fabric, placing the fabric with the mask applied thereto in a metal deposition bath, and depositing metal directly in said discrete openings onto said flexible fabric in the presence of particulate abrasive material such that the metal adheres directly to the fabric to form metal deposits in said openings and the abrasive material becomes embedded in the metal deposits.
  • the deposition preferably takes place by electrodeposition and the discrete openings are preferably arranged in the form of a lattice.
  • the fabric may be in the form of a mesh.
  • the stainless steel cylinder may be eliminated when an electrically conductive flexible mesh is used, or if a cylinder is required, in the case of a non-electrically conductive flexible mesh, the cylinder can be of simple construction, e.g. a stainless steel cylinder coated with electrically conductive material, such as wax, to which the electrodeposited metal does not stick.
  • the electrically conductive cylinder is not required and the method can be operated on a continuous basis to produce a flexible abrasive member at a much higher rate and much lower cost than in the process according to the U.S. Patent.
  • the length of flexible mesh material is in the form of a wire mesh, e.g. a fine wire mesh, or metallized polyester resin mesh supplied under the trademark metalin MP E260 by B and SH Thompson Co. Ltd.
  • the length of the flexible material may also be a flexible polymer resin mesh, such a polyester resin mesh, laminated on the side remote from the mask to a metal foil.
  • the metal foil can be easily removed after electrodeposition.
  • the mask By first forming the mask on the electrically conductive mesh material rather than on the electrically conductive surface, i.e. the surface of a cylinder, it is possible to operate the process by continuously passing the laminate through an electrodeposition bath, e.g. an electrolytic bath, where the length of flexible mesh material forms the cathode and metal to be deposited forms the anode.
  • an electrodeposition bath e.g. an electrolytic bath
  • the length of flexible mesh material is a non-electrically conducting flexible polymer resin mesh, such as a polyester resin mesh e.g. that supplied under the trademark Monotex by B and SH Thompson Co. Ltd., and which in the process is in immovable contact with a curved electrically conducting member treated to prevent adhesion of electrodeposited metal thereto.
  • the electrically conducting member may be a cylinder to which the non-electrically conducting flexible polymer resin mesh is applied under tension.
  • the cylinder may be formed of stainless steel or other electrically conductive metal having a smooth surface which may be coated with wax.
  • the non-conducting flexible mesh may be, for example, formed of nylon or terylene.
  • the mask is in the form of a very thin sheet, suitably a few thousandths, e.g. 3-4 thousandths of an inch (0,076-0,102 mm) thick, of a polymer resin, such as polyvinyl chloride.
  • a polymer resin such as polyvinyl chloride.
  • Such a mask defines a lattice with a large number of openings of, for example of 1/16 ⁇ (1,588 mm) diameter. Lamination takes place under heat and pressure.
  • the abrasive material is a conventional abrasive such as diamond or cubic boron nitride, and in particular industrial diamond.
  • the metal can be any metal which can be deposited from a suitable bath by electrodepositing or electroless plating, and is preferably nickel or copper, more preferably nickel.
  • the length of electrically conductive flexible mesh material is continuously passed through an electrolytic bath to form a cathode, the anodes of which are formed by said metal, whereby the metal is continuously deposited in the discrete openings and the particulate abrasive during said electrodeposition is released into said bath.
  • the length of flexible mesh material is present in the bath as a cathode, it is connected to a source of negative potential.
  • the mesh material is preferably in contact with a smooth non-conductive surface, such as a plastic surface in the bath, which is suitably a nickel sulfamate bath.
  • the fabric When the fabric is in the form of a mesh, it is generally laminated onto a backing fabric for strength.
  • An abrasive member reinforced in this way can be made into a sanding belt and similar abrasive articles.
  • the backing fabric comprises a woven polyaramid fabric.

  • the fabric is made of poly-p-phenyleneterephthalamide.
  • a laminated abrasive member of this construction has been shown to have remarkable properties of longevity and strength. Such a member can even be used to cut edge on into glass, particularly if the backing material is coated on its underside with polyurethane adhesive.
  • the flexible fabric can also be rendered at least partially conductive, with the metal being deposited directly on the fabric, using the conductive portion as an electrode, particulate abrasive material being embedded in the metal deposits during the formation thereof.
  • a backing fabric can be coated with a vaporized metal such that the vaporized metal becomes firmly attached to the fabric to provide a conductive coating, the conductive coating masked to expose only the discrete locations, and the metal deposited on the coating at the discrete locations, using said coating as an electrode, in the presence of abrasive particles such that said particles become embedded therein.
  • the above described method permits the complete elimination of the lamination stage and the fabrication of an abrasive belt directly onto the backing fabric.
  • the backing fabric is preferably made of polyaramid yarn, such as p-poly(phenylene) terephthalamide and sold by Dupont under the trademark Kevlar.

  • the laminate 20 passes over the smooth non-electrically conductive upper surface of a plastic plate 5 and then out of the bath over idler rolls 6 and 7.
  • the idler roll 2 is maintained at negative potential from an external source and thus makes the flexible laminate 20 passing over the smooth plastic plate 5 the cathode.
  • the passage of the laminate 20 across the smooth member 5 is such that the mask 22 is uppermost.
  • the plastic plate can also be in the form of a drum, with the laminate extending around part of its periphery.
  • the electrolytic bath 4 is also provided with a plurality of titanium baskets 8 containing nickel turnings.
  • the baskets are connected from an external source to a positive potential and thus form anodes.
  • electrodeposition of nickel occurs in the discrete openings of the mask 22, forming in the openings deposits of nickel which intimately adhere to the mesh 21.
  • particles of abrasive material 9 are shaken into the bath 4 from a shaker device 10 and become embedded in the metal deposits to form pellets 23 containing the abrasive.
  • the laminate 20 is passed under idler roller 11 into a washing bath 12 where it is rinsed with water and passed to a collecting roll 13 for the continuous flexible abrasive member.
  • the electrolytic bath is a commercial nickel sulfamate bath supplied under the trademark SNR 24 by Hanson Inc., operated at a 170 amps and 9 volts d.c. and at a temperature of 140° (60°C).
