Definitions

  • Chopped strand fibers are used to reinforce resin-based grinding wheels.
  • the chopped strand fibers typically 3-4 mm in length, are a plurality of filaments.
  • the number of filaments can vary depending on the manufacturing process but typically consists of 400 to 6000 filaments per bundle.
  • the filaments are held together by an adhesive known as a sizing, binder, or coating that should ultimately be compatible with the resin matrix.
  • 183 Cratec® available from Owens Corning.
  • Incorporation of chopped strand fibers into a dry grinding wheel mix is generally accomplished by blending the chopped strand fibers, resin, fillers, and abrasive grain for a specified time and then molding, curing, or otherwise processing the mix into a finished grinding wheel.
  • chopped strand fiber reinforced wheels typically suffer from a number of problems, including lower strength, poor grinding performance as well as inadequate wheel life, presumably due to incomplete dispersal of the filaments within the chopped strand fiber bundle.

  • the composition includes from 30% by volume to 40% by volume of the organic bond material, from 50% by volume to 60% by volume of the abrasive material, and from 3% by volume to 8% by volume of the microfibers.
  • the composition also contains chopped strand fibers, e.g., in an amount within the range of from about 0.1 to about 10% by volume, for example, from about 2 to about 8% by volume.

  • the abrasive article is a wheel or other suitable form for abrasive processing.

  • an abrasive article includes an organic bond material; an abrasive material, dispersed in the organic bond material; chopped strand fibers dispersed in the organic bond material; mineral wool microfibers that are uniformly dispersed in the organic bond material, wherein said microfibers are individual filaments; and one or more fillers.
  • the one or more fillers include a manganese compound.
  • an abrasive article contains chopped strand fibers, mineral wool microfibers, a manganese compound and, optionally, other fillers such as, for example, lime, pyrites and others, yet it does not include potassium salts (e.g., potassium sulfate and/or potassium chloride).

  • chopped strand fibers can be used in dense resin-based grinding wheels to increase strength and impact resistance, where the incorporation of chopped strand fibers into a dry grinding wheel mix is generally accomplished by blending the chopped strand fibers, resin, fillers, and abrasive grain for a specified time.
  • the blending or mixing time plays a significant role in achieving a useable mix quality. Inadequate mixing results in non-uniform mixes making mold filling and spreading difficult and leads to non-homogeneous composites with lower properties and high variability.
  • excessive mixing leads to formation of “fuzz balls” (clusters of multiple chopped strand fibers) that cannot be re-dispersed into the mix.
  • the chopped strand itself is effectively a bundle of filaments bonded together.
  • such clusters or bundles effectively decrease the homogeneity of the grinding mix and make it more difficult to transfer and spread into a mold.
  • the presence of such clusters or bundles within the composite decreases composite properties such as strength and modulus and increases property variability.
  • high concentrations of glass such as chopped strand or clusters thereof have a deleterious affect on grinding wheel life.
  • Increasing the level of chopped strand fibers in the wheel can also lower the grinding performance (e.g., as measured by G-Ratio and/or WWR).
  • producing microfiber-reinforced composites involves complete dispersal of individual filaments within a dry blend of suitable bond material (e.g., organic resins) and fillers.
  • suitable bond material e.g., organic resins
  • Complete dispersal can be defined, for example, by the maximum composite properties (such as strength) after molding and curing of an adequately blended/mixed combination of microfibers, bond material, and fillers. For instance, poor mixing results in low strengths but good mixing results in high strengths.
  • Another way to assess the dispersion is by isolating and weighing the undispersed (e.g., material that resembles the original microfiber before mixing) using sieving techniques.
  • dispersion of the microfiber reinforcements can be assessed via visual inspection (e.g., with or without microscope) of the mix before molding and curing. As will be apparent in light of this disclosure, incomplete or otherwise inadequate microfiber dispersion generally results in lower composite properties and grinding performance.

Sample E was mixed for 15 minutes with an Eirich-type mixer. Sample F was processed through an Interlator at 3500 rpm. Sample G was processed through an Interlator at 6500 rpm. Sample H was mixed for 15 minutes with an Eirich-type mixer, and then processed through an Interlator at 3500 rpm.
  • a dispersion test was used to gauge the amount of undispersed mineral wool for each of samples B through H.
  • the dispersion test was as follows: amount of residue resulting after 100 grams of mix was shaken for one minute using the Rototap method followed by screening through a #20 sieve. As can be seen, sample B was observed to have a 0.9 gram residue of mineral wool left on the screen of the sieve, sample C a 0.6 gram residue, and sample E a 0.5 gram residue. Each of samples D, F, G, and H had no significant residual fiber left on the sieve screen. Thus, depending on the desired dispersion of mineral wool, various mixing techniques can be utilized.
  • sample compositions A through H were blended with furfural-wetted abrasive grains aged for 2 hours before molding. Each mixture was pre-weighed then transferred into a 3-cavity mold (26 mm ⁇ 102.5 mm) (1.5 mm ⁇ 114.5 mm) and hot pressed at 160° C. for 45 minutes under 140 kg/cm 2 , then followed by 18 hours of curing in a convection oven at 200° C. The resulting composite bars were tested in three point flexural (5:1 span to depth ratio) using ASTM procedure D790-03.
  • FIG. 1 is a one-way ANOVA analysis of composite strength for each of the samples A through H.
  • Table 8 demonstrates the means and standard deviations. The standard error uses a pooled estimate of error variance.
  • the composite strength for each of samples B through H is significantly better than that of the non-reinforced sample A.
  • Example 3 which includes Tables 9 and 10, demonstrates grinding performance as a function of mix quality.
  • Table 9 components of two sample formulations are provided (in vol %). The formulations are identical, except that Formulation 1 was mixed for 45 minutes and Formulation 2 was mixed for 15 minutes (the mixing method used was identical as well, except for the mixing time as noted).
  • Each formulation includes Sloss PMF® mineral wool, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
  • Other types of single filament microfiber e.g., glass or ceramic fiber may be used as well, as previously described.
  • the manufacturing sequence of a microfiber reinforced abrasive composite configured in accordance with one embodiment of the presents invention includes five steps: bond preparation; mixing, composite preparation; mold filling and cold pressing; and curing.
  • a bond quality assessment was made after the bond preparation and mixing steps.
  • one way to assess the bond quality is to perform a dispersion test to determine the weight percent of un-dispersed mineral wool from the Rototap method.
  • the Rototap method included adding 50 g-100 g of bond sample to a 40 mesh screen and then measuring the amount of residue on the 40 mesh screen after 5 minutes of Rototap agitation.
  • the abrasive used in both formulations at Step 3 was extruded bauxite (16 grit).
  • the brown fused alumina (220 grit) is used as a filler in the bond preparation of Step 1, but may operate as a secondary abrasive as previously explained.
  • the Varcum 94-906 is a Furfurol-based resole available from Durez Corporation.
  • Table 10 demonstrates the grinding performance of reinforced grinding wheels made from both Formulation 1 and Formulation 2, at various cutting-rates, including 0.75, 1.0, and 1.2 sec/cut.
  • the material removal rate (MRR), which is measured in cubic inches per minute, of Formulation 1 was relatively similar to that of Formulation 2.
  • the wheel wear rate (WWR), which is measured in cubic inches per minute, of Formulation 1 is consistently lower than that of Formulation 2.
  • the G-ratio, which is computed by dividing MRR by WWR, of Formulation 1 is consistently higher than that of Formulation 2.
  • mix time has a direct correlation to grinding performance.
  • the 15 minute mix time used for Formulation 2 was effectively too short when compared to the improved performance of Formulation 1 and its 45 minute mix time.
  • Example 4 which includes Tables 11, 12, and 13, demonstrates grinding performance as a function of active fillers with and without mineral wool.
  • Table 11 components of four sample composites are provided (in vol %).
  • the composite samples A and B are identical, except that sample A includes chopped strand fiber, and no brown fused alumina (220 Grit) or Sloss PMF® mineral wool.
  • Sample B includes Sloss PMF® mineral wool and brown fused alumina (220 Grit), and no chopped strand fiber.
  • the composite density (which is measured in grams per cubic centimeter) is slightly higher for sample B relative to sample A.
  • the composite samples C and D are identical, except that sample C includes chopped strand fiber and no Sloss PMF® mineral wool.
  • Sample D includes Sloss PMF® mineral wool and no chopped strand fiber.
  • the composite density is slightly higher for sample C relative to sample D.
  • a small but sufficient amount of furfural (about 1 vol % or less of total abrasive) was used to wet the abrasive particles, which in this case were alumina grains for samples C and D and alumina-zirconia grains for samples A and B.
  • Table 12 demonstrates tests conducted to compare the grinding performance between the samples B and D, both of which were made with a mixture of mineral wool and the example active filler manganese dichloride (MKC-S, available from Washington Mills), and samples A and C, which were made with chopped strand instead of mineral wool.
  • MKC-S active filler manganese dichloride
  • samples A and B were tested on slabs made from austenitic stainless steel and ferritic stainless steel, and samples C and D were tested on slabs made from austenitic stainless steel and carbon steel.
  • samples B and D were tested on slabs made from austenitic stainless steel and carbon steel.
  • Table 12 using a mixture of mineral wool and manganese dichloride samples B and D provided about a 27% to 36% improvement relative to samples A and C (made with chopped strand instead of mineral wool). This clearly shows improvements in grinding performance due to a positive reaction between mineral wool and the filler (in this case, manganese dichloride). No such positive reaction occurred with the chopped strand and manganese dichloride combination.
  • Table 13 lists the conditions under which the composites A through D were tested.
  • Wheels were prepared as in Example 4 and only differed with respect to the type of fibers and level of MKCS present. Specifically, wheels included either 8 vol % of (glass) chopped strand fibers (CSF) or 8 vol % of microfibers of mineral wool (MW). For each category, the level of MKCS was either 0 or 3.42 vol %.
  • the G-ratio for the wheels containing 8 vol % CSF was decreased by about 10% when MKCS was added (from 330 kg/dm 3 without any MKCS to 296 kg/dm 3 with MKCS).
  • An opposite trend was observed with the wheels prepared with mineral wool, where adding MKCS resulted in an increase of about 20% in the G-ratio (from 311 kg/dm 3 at 0 levels of MKCS to 385 kg/dm 3 when 3.42 vol % MKCS was added).
  • MKCS interacts differently with the two fiber types and that a synergistic effect is obtained by combining MW microfibers with MKCS. No such effect was observed with the MKCS-CSF combination.
  • adding MKCS to compositions that contain CSF had a negative effect on G-ratio.
  • Example 6 which includes Table 15 and FIG. 2 , demonstrates grinding performance as a function of active fillers in combination with mineral wool and chopped strand fibers. As can be seen in Table 15, components of eight sample composites are provided (in vol %).
  • the bond included (organic) resin, Sloss PMF® mineral wool (MW) microfibers, iron compound (pyrite), lime, and the active filler manganese dichloride (MKCS).
  • Exp5 through Exp8 samples also included potassium sulfate filler, while the remaining samples (Exp1 through Exp4) did not.
  • the data also indicate that potassium salts have an increased effect on performance in compositions which include the higher levels of glass chopped strand fibers, mineral wool microfibers and a manganese compound, and less of an effect in compositions that include mineral wool microfibers, a manganese compound and lower levels of chopped strand fibers.
