Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to abrasive articles useful for polishing complex materials.
- Work pieces such as read/write heads for the hard disk drive (HDD) industry, have very hard and very soft, complex materials that are typically finished simultaneously by lapping and polishing with abrasive articles.
- the very soft materials that make up the read/write transducer are located at the edge of the very hard material, such as alumina titania carbide (AlTiC). Because high pressures are required to remove the hard AlTiC material, pressures of up to 40 pounds per square inch (psi) are applied. High loads on the work-piece can cause a displacement of the abrasive surface if the abrasive matrix is of sufficiently low modulus. This can result in a build up of abrasive material at the edges of the work-piece.
- AlTiC alumina titania carbide
- FIG. 1 is an illustration of a typical prior art system of an abrasive article 10 having abrasive particles 12 dispersed in binder 13 (forming an abrasive layer) on first major surface 18 a of flexible backing 18 having adhesive layer 14 coated on second major surface 18 b of the abrasive article.
- the adhesive layer such as, e.g., a pressure sensitive adhesive layer, secures the abrasive article to rigid support 22 .
- the adhesive layer is softer (i.e., having a lower Young's modulus) than the flexible backing and the abrasive particles.
- typically work-piece 20 is exposed to an abrasive layer (that includes abrasive particles 18 a and binder 13 ) under a load P.
- an abrasive layer that includes abrasive particles 18 a and binder 13
- the work piece and the load applied thereon deform relatively soft adhesive layer 14 .
- the contours of flexible substrate 18 and abrasive layer 13 tend to follow the deformation of the adhesive layer causing rounding or crowning of the edges of the work-piece. Additionally, high stresses at the edges of work-piece 20 , may also cause rounding of the work-piece edges.
- an abrasive article in one aspect, includes a flexible backing having opposed first and second major surfaces, an abrasive layer comprising a plurality of abrasive particles retained in at least one binder, the abrasive layer disposed on the first major surface of the flexible backing, wherein at least a portion the second major surface of the flexible backing includes replicated microstructures having recesses, and an adhesive, wherein the adhesive is contained substantially in the recesses of the replicated microstructures.
- the article can further include a rigid substrate in contact with at least a portion of the replicated microstructures or a release liner in contact with at least a portion of the adhesive.
- the flexible backing can have a Young's modulus of greater than about 0.5 gigapascals (GPa) or even greater than 2 GPa, and can include rods, triangles, pyramids, truncated pyramids, cones, truncated cones, spheres, or spheroids among other possible shapes.
- GPa gigapascals
- a method of polishing includes providing a work-piece, contacting the work-piece with an abrasive article that includes a flexible backing having opposed first and second major surfaces, an abrasive layer comprising a plurality of abrasive particles retained in at least one binder, the abrasive layer disposed on the first major surface of the flexible backing, wherein at least a portion the second major surface of the flexible backing includes replicated microstructures having recesses, an adhesive; and a rigid substrate in contact with at least a portion of the replicated microstructures, wherein the adhesive is contained substantially in the recesses of the replicated microstructures and moving the abrasive article relative to the work-piece.
- the abrasive article is moved relative to the work-piece thereby polishing a surface of the work-piece.
- a load is applied to the work-piece.
- Flexible backings that include replicated microstructures allow a load that can be applied to the work-piece to be supported by a rigid substrate during polishing.
- the replicated microstructures bear part of the load, transferring at least part of the load to the rigid substrate, thereby reducing or eliminating adhesive deformation.
- the adhesive is substantially contained in the recesses of the replicated microstructures allowing direct contact of the replicated microstructures with the rigid substrate.

- the average depth of recesses 810 was 1.3 mils (33.0 ⁇ m).
- the average width of the base of microstructured features 820 was 1.0 mil (15.4 ⁇ m).
- the average distance between bases of microstructured features 720 was 0.48 mils (12.1 ⁇ m).
- the microstructured features 720 were trapezoidal in shape with an average external angle measured at the bottom of the features of about 100 degrees. The microstructures and corresponding recesses between them followed the down-web direction of the web.

- a solution of 1 g of 3M SCOTCH-WEL Epoxy B/A Adhesive (available from the 3M Company, St Paul, Minn.) mixed according to the supplier specification and 3 g of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) was prepared. The solution was poured onto the polyester backing and spread over the surface of the backing using a rubber roller. The surface was rolled repeatedly as the solvent evaporated and the epoxy adhesive covered the surface in a uniform manner.
- abrasive composite particles comprising 1 micron diamond/silica 50/50 wt. % prepared according to U.S. Pat. No. 6,645,624 (Adefris et. al.) and sieved to a size of less than 38 micron were poured onto the epoxy adhesive in a line along the edge.
- the aluminum plate and the coated backing were held at a 45° angle and tapped gently to cause the particles to roll and coat the tacky resin. The procedure was repeated until the backing contained a complete coating. The sheet was then held perpendicular and tapped rigorously to dislodge loose particles.
- the bound abrasive was then covered with a sheet of silicone release liner and rolled with a rubber hand roller to press the particles into the epoxy adhesive in a single plane.
- the coating was allowed to cure for 12 hrs at room temperature and then an additional 2 hrs at 70° C.
- the abrasive layer was then spray coated with a securing size coating of resin.
- the size coating resin solution consisted of 4 g of a phenoxy resin solution, 30 wt. % in 2-butanone (available under the trade designation of YP-50S from Tohto Kasei Co. Lt. Inabata America Corp, NY, N.Y.); 2.3 g of a polyester polyurethane resin solution, 35 wt. % in MEK (synthesized internally from neopentyl glycol, 21 wt. %, poly caprolactone, 29 wt. %, and a methylene diisocyanate 50 wt.
- the size coating resin solution was placed in an aerosol container.
- the abrasive surface was sprayed with the size coating solution in a well ventilated hood for about 60 seconds or until the surface looked wet.
- the aluminum plate and abrasive article were then heated in an oven at 70° C. for 17 hrs. After cooling, the film with microstructure was turned over, so that the abrasive surface contacted the aluminum plate and the microstructure surface was exposed.
- the release liner of the abrasive article was removed and the abrasive article was hand laminated using a rubber roller to a flat annular shaped, aluminum platen having a 16 inch (40.6 cm) outside diameter, an 8 inch (20.3 cm) inside diameter and a 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) thickness, which was fabricated using standard CNC cutting techniques.
- the platen with the abrasive article was then place abrasive face down onto a quartz sheet, 23 inch (58.4 cm) ⁇ 18 inch (45.7 cm) ⁇ 3 ⁇ 8 inch (0.95 cm).
- An identical platen, weighing 10.7 kg, was placed on top of the first platen with attached abrasive and the entire stack was heated in an oven for 70° C. for 48 hrs. The stack was removed from the oven, the 2 nd platen was removed from the stack and the platen with attached abrasive article was allowed to cool while the abrasive was still in contact with the quartz plate. The abrasive article was trimmed with a razor blade to fit the dimensions of the platen. Following the lapping procedure and the crown measurement procedure described above, the average crown of the three AlTiC coupons was 0.9 micro-inches (0.0229 ⁇ m).
