Definitions
- the present disclosure generally relates to bonded abrasives, and more particularly to forming bonded abrasive articles through uniaxial hot pressing.
- Uniaxial pressing has typically been restricted to bodies having uniform cross- sections, as non-uniform cross-sections may react unpredictably to the application of pressure. Pressure applied to a body having a non-uniform cross-section may result in a distortion of shape and/or non-uniform density. Uniaxial hot pressing has also typically been restricted to bodies having uniform compositions, in order to avoid differing amounts of shrinkage resulting from variable coefficients of thermal expansion. Differing amounts of shrinkage can result in regions of partially undensified material or regions of increased stress.
- US patent number 4,153,666 discloses hot pressing a preformed shape which deforms orderly to a final shape in a mold against preformed parts having surfaces exactly mating with the surfaces of the preform.
- the preformed parts are formed of a powdered composition having the same compaction ratio as the preform and a coefficient of thermal expansion substantially equal to that of the preform.
- US patent numbers 6,306,325 and 6,508,964 disclose hot pressing ceramic bodies in a mold, wherein the ceramic bodies are homogeneous in composition.
- US patent number 3,467,745 discloses hot pressing refractory carbide bodies with shaped cavities by incorporating a water-reactive carbide in amounts and at locations corresponding to the locations and size of the cavities desired in the final body.
- the water-reactive carbide may be leached out with water following pressing.
- US patent number 5,250,130 discloses hot pressing a green body with a nonuniform compositional cross-section relative to the axial direction by laminating auxiliary material with the green body in the axial direction to achieve a uniform shrinkage that is substantially equal across the laminate.
- the auxiliary material is delaminated from the body after hot pressing.
- a method includes uniaxially hot pressing a preform that includes abrasive particles in a bonding material to form a bonded abrasive body.
- a method in another embodiment, includes uniaxially hot pressing a preform that includes abrasive particles to form a body having a relief extending from a plane on the body that is parallel to an axis of pressing.
- a method of forming a bonded abrasive body includes forming a green body comprising abrasive particles and a bonding material. The method further includes placing the green body in a mold and uniaxially hot pressing the green body to form the bonded abrasive body.
- a method includes forming a mixture of abrasive particles and bonding material, forming the mixture into a green body, and placing the green body in a mold. The method further includes uniaxially hot pressing the mold to form a bonded abrasive body with a near net shape that is asymmetric around a pressing axis.
- a method includes uniaxially hot pressing a green body preform to form a composite body. Pressing includes liquid phase sintering, and during pressing the geometry of the preform is substantially altered.
- FIG. 1 includes a flow diagram illustrating a particular embodiment of a method of making an abrasive tool having a relief.
- FIG. 2a includes an illustration of a preform in accordance with an embodiment disclosed herein.
- FIG. 2b includes a top view illustration of the exemplary preform of FIG. 2a.

- FIGs. 10a, 10b, and 10c include illustrations of multiple exemplary embodiments of abrasive tools with alternative relief orientations.
- a method includes uniaxially hot pressing a preform that includes abrasive particles in a bonding material to form a bonded abrasive body.
- uniaxial hot pressing a force is applied to a body in substantially one direction or along a single axis while heat is applied to the body such that the geometric shape of the body is substantially changed.
- the axis along which force is applied during uniaxial hot pressing is referred to herein as the axis of pressing.
- a bonded abrasive body may be formed by hot pressing a preform (e.g., a green or unsintered body) along a single axis (i.e., the axis of pressing).
- FIG. 1 includes a method 100 of making an abrasive tool using a uniaxial hot pressing process according to an embodiment.
- the method 100 includes combining abrasive particles with a bonding material to form a mixture, at step 102.

- the preform may include a porosity content within a range including any of the minimum and maximum values provided above
- the resulting abrasive body upon completion of the forming process on the preform, the resulting abrasive body may include 0 vol% porosity upon completion of the forming process on the preform.
- the body may include a particular content of porosity.
- the body may include at least about 1 vol porosity, such as at least about 3 vol% porosity, at least about 5 vol% porosity, or even at least about 10 vol% porosity for the total volume of the body.
- the body may include not greater than about 20 vol% porosity, such as not greater than about 15 vol% porosity for the total volume of the body. It will be appreciated that the body may include a porosity content within a range including any of the minimum and maximum values provided above.
- the abrasive body upon completion of the forming process, may include a particular content of bonding material.
- the body may include at least about 10 vol% bonding material for the total volume of the body.
- the body can include at least about 15 vol bonding material, at least about 20 vol% bonding material, or even at least about 25vol% bonding material.
- the body may include not greater than about 70 vol bonding material, such as not greater than about 65 vol% bonding material for the total volume of the body. It will be appreciated that the body may include an amount of bonding material within a range including any of the minimum and maximum values provided above.
- the length, L is selected by considering, for example, the compactibility of the mixture that comprises the preform and the expected life of the compaction tools used to form the preform.
- the final length of the preform should be selected such that wear on the compaction tools due to the abrasive particles in the preform mixture is limited while providing sufficient compaction so the preform is sufficiently strong enough to be handled readily without breaking when placed in a mold.
- the compaction pressure can be within a range that is between and includes about 68.9 Mpa (10.0 ksi) to about 441.3 MPa (64.0 ksi)
- the hot pressing temperature can be within and include a range of about 600 °C (1112 °F) to about 1100 °C (2012 °F)
- the hot pressing pressure can be within and include a range of about 4.9 MPa (710 psi) to about 44.1 MPa (6398 psi).
- an abrasive body includes a preform mixture that includes: a bonding material having 40 wt% electrolytic iron powder (-315 mesh), 48 wt% water atomized pre-alloyed bronze 90/10 (-200 mesh), and 12 wt% nickel base alloy (53-75 ⁇ );
- the preform mixture is compacted at a compaction pressure of about 372 MPa (54 ksi) to form a preform that includes a length that is about 1.8 times greater than the final abrasive body.
- the preform is hot pressed at a temperature of about 900 °C (1652 °F) and a pressure of about 19.6 MPa (2842 psi) to form the abrasive body.
- the embodiments herein represent a departure from the state-of-the-art.
- bonded abrasive articles are formed through processes such as cold pressing or hot pressing. In such processes, forces are applied evenly across the surface of the preform to form the finally-formed abrasive body.
- uniaxial pressing operations such a process is reserved in the industry for those materials having uniform compositions.
- Materials having heterogeneous compositions are regarded as having differential compaction dynamics that can result in density gradients within the finally- formed body and thus a poorly formed and unfit article.
- the present embodiments are directed to uniaxial hot pressing of heterogeneous bodies including abrasive particles and bonding material to form bonded abrasive articles.
- the embodiments herein utilize a combination of features, which include, but are not limited to, compositions of the preform, shape of the preform, composition and shape of the molds, processing parameters including pressure, temperature, and atmosphere, liquid phase sintering, and changes in geometry between the preform and finally-formed abrasive article, which facilitate the forming process and attributes of the finally-formed bonded abrasive bodies.
