- a grinding aid is defined as a material, preferably a particulate material, the addition of which to an abrasive article has a significant effect on the chemical and physical processes of abrading which results in improved performance.
- the grinding aid is added to the slurry as a particulate, however it may be added to the slurry as a liquid or it may be added as an overcoat to reduce the loading of the product.
- the presence of the grinding aid will increase the grinding efficiency or cut rate (defined as weight of work piece removed per weight of abrasive article lost) of the corresponding abrasive article in comparison to an abrasive article that does not contain a grinding aid.
- the grinding aid will either 1) decrease the friction between the abrasive grains and the workpiece being abraded, 2) prevent the abrasive grain from "capping", i.e., prevent metal particles (in the case of a metal workpiece) from becoming welded to the tops of the abrasive grains, 3) decrease the interface temperature between the abrasive grains the workpiece, 4) decreases the grinding force required, or 5) prevents oxidation of the metal workpiece.

- the grinding aid is considered to be non-abrasive, that is, the Moh hardness of the grinding aid is less than 8.
- the grinding aid may also contain impurities; these impurities should not significantly adversely affect performance of the abrasive article.
- the grinding aid particle size preferably ranges from about 0.1 to 100 micrometers, more preferably between 10 to 70 micrometers. In general the particle size of the grinding aid is preferably equal to or less than the size of the abrasive particles.
- the abrasive coating comprises generally at least about 1% by weight, typically at least about 2.5% by weight, preferably at least about 5% by weight, more preferably at least about 10% by weight grinding aid and most preferably at least about 20% by weight grinding aid. More than about 50 weight % grinding aid may be detrimental since it is theorized that grinding performance would decrease (since there are less abrasive particles present).

- the abrasive coating is in the form of a plurality of abrasive composites bonded to the backing. It is generally preferred that each abrasive composites have a precise shape. The precise shape of each composite is determined by distinct and discernible boundaries. These distinct and discernible boundaries are readily visible and clear when a cross section of the abrasive article is examined under a microscope such as a scanning electron microscope, i comparison, in an abrasive coating comprising composites that do not have precise shapes, the boundaries are not definitive and may be illegible. These distinct and discernible boundaries form the outline or contour of the precise shape. These boundaries separate to some degree one abrasive composite from another and also distinguish one abrasive composite from another.
- the abrasive article 100 comprises abrasive composites 122.
- the boundary or boundaries associated with the composite shape result in one abrasive composite being separated to some degree from another adjacent abrasive composite.
- a portion of the boundaries forming the shape of the abrasive composite must be separated from one another. Note that in FIG. 1A, the base or a portion of the abrasive composite closest to the backing can abut with its neighboring abrasive composite.

It is also within the scope of this invention to have a combination of abrasive composites bonded to a backing in which some of the abrasive composites abut, while other abrasive composites have open spaces between them.
- the boundaries forming the shape are planar. For shapes that have planes, there are at least three planes. The number of planes for a given shape can vary depending upon the desired geometry, for instance the number of planes can range from three to over 20. Generally, there are between three to ten planes, preferably between three to six planes.

- at least 10%, preferably at least 30%, more preferably at least 50% and most preferably at least 60% of the abrasive composites have an adjacent abrasive composite that has a different dimension.
- These different dimensions can pertain to the abrasive composite shape, angle between planar boundaries or dimensions of the abrasive composite. The result of these different dimensions for neighboring abrasive composites results in an abrasive article that produces a relatively finer surface finish on the workpiece being abraded or refined.
- the abrasive composite shape can be any shape, but it is preferably a geometric shape such as a rectangle, cone, semicircle, circle, triangle, square, hexagon, pyramid, octagon and the like. Embodiments of preferred shapes are presented below in a section entitled "GEOMETRIES.”
- An individual abrasive composite shape may be referred to herein as "protruding unit.”
- the preferred shape is a pyramid and the base of this pyramid can be a three or four sided. It is also preferred that the abrasive composite cross sectional surface area decreases away from the backing or decreases along its height. This variable surface area results in a non-uniform pressure as the abrasive composite wears during use.
- this variable surface area results in easier release of the abrasive composite from the production tool.
- An essential step to make any of the inventive abrasive articles is to prepare the slurry.
- the slurry is made by combining together by any suitable mixing technique the binder precursor, the grinding aid, the abrasive particles and the optional additives.
- Examples of mixing techniques include low shear and high shear mixing, with high shear mixing being preferred.
- Ultrasonic energy may also be utilized in combination with the mixing step to lower the abrasive slurry viscosity.

- the amount of air bubbles in the slurry can be minimized by pulling a vacuum during the mixing step.
- it is preferred to heat generally in the range of 30° to 70° C, the slurry to lower the viscosity. It is important the slurry have theological properties that allow the slurry to coat well and in which the abrasive particles and grinding aid do not settle out of the slurry.
- the slurry may be exposed to an energy source to initiate the polymerization of the resin in the binder precursor.
- energy sources include thermal energy and radiation energy.
- the amount of energy depends upon several factors such as the binder precursor chemistry, the dimensions of the abrasive slurry, the amount and type of abrasive particles and the amount and type of the optional additives.
- thermal energy the temperature can range from about 30° to 150° C, generally from 40° to 120° C.
- the exposure time can range from about 5 minutes to over 24 hours.
- Suitable radiation energy sources include electron beam, ultraviolet light, or visible light.
- Electron beam radiation which is also known as ionizing radiation, can be used at an energy level of about 0.1 to about 10 Mrad, preferably at an energy level of about 1 to about 10 Mrad.
- Ultraviolet radiation refers to non-particulate radiation having a wavelength within the range of about 200 to about 400 nanometers, preferably within the range of about 250 to 400 nanometers.
- Visible radiation refers to non-particulate radiation having a wavelength within the range of about 400 to about 800 nanometers, preferably in the range of about 400 to about 550 nanometers. It is preferred that 300 to 600 Watt/inch visible lights are used.
- the resulting abrasive article is generally ready for use. However, in some instances other processes may still be necessary such as humidification or flexing.
- the abrasive article can be converted into any desired form such as a cone, endless belt, sheet, disc, and the like, before the abrasive article is used.
- the abrasive coating be present as precisely shaped abrasive composites, hi order to make this type of abrasive article, a production tool is generally required.
- the production tool contains a plurality of cavities. These cavities are essentially the inverse shape of the abrasive composite and are responsible for generating the shape of the abrasive composites.
- the dimensions of the cavities are selected to provide the desired shape and dimensions of the abrasive composites. If the shape or dimensions of the cavities are not properly fabricated, the resulting production tool will not provide the desired dimensions for the abrasive composites.
- the cavities can be present in a dot like pattern with spaces between adjacent cavities or the cavities can butt up against one another. It is preferred that the cavities butt up against one another. Additionally, the shape of the cavities is selected such that the cross-sectional area of the abrasive composite decreases away from the backing.
- the production tool can be a belt, a sheet, a continuous sheet or web, a coating roll such as a rotogravure roll, a sleeve mounted on a coating roll, or die.
- the production tool can be composed of metal, (e.g., nickel), metal alloys, or plastic.
- the metal production tool can be fabricated by any conventional technique such as engraving, bobbing, electroforming, diamond turning, and the like. One preferred technique for a metal production tool is diamond turning.
- thermoplastic tool can be replicated off a metal master tool.
- the master tool will have the inverse pattern desired for the production tool.
- the master tool can be made in the same manner as the production tool.
- the master tool is preferably made out of metal, e.g., nickel and is diamond turned.
- the thermoplastic sheet material can be heated and optionally along with the master tool such that the thermoplastic material is embossed with the master tool pattern by pressing the two together.
- the thermoplastic can also be extruded or cast onto the master tool and then pressed.
- the thermoplastic material is cooled to solidify and produce the production tool.
- preferred thermoplastic production tool materials include polyester, polycarbonates, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene and combinations thereof.
- the production tool may also contain a release coating to permit easier release of the abrasive article from the production tool.

- the coating station can be any conventional coating means such as drop die coater, knife coater, curtain coater, vacuum die coater or a die coater. During coating the formation of air bubbles should be minimized.
- the preferred coating technique is a vacuum fluid bearing die, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,594,865, 4,959,265, and 5,077,870, all incorporated herein by reference. After the production tool is coated, the backing and the slurry are brought into contact by any means such that the slurry wets the front surface of the backing, hi FIG.
- a source of energy 48 (preferably a source of visible light) transmits a sufficient amount of energy into the slurry to at least partially cure the binder precursor.
- the term partial cure is meant that the binder precursor is polymerized to such a state that the slurry does not flow from an inverted test tube.
- the binder precursor can be fully cured once it is removed from the production tool by any energy source. Following this, the production tool is rewound on mandrel 49 so that the production tool can be reused again.
- the production tool may be removed from the binder precursor prior to any curing of the precursor at all.
- the precursor After removal, the precursor may be cured, and the production tool may be rewound on mandrel 49 for reuse. Additionally, abrasive article 120 is wound on mandrel 121. If the binder precursor is not fully cured, the binder precursor can then be fully cured by either time and/or exposure to an energy source. Additional steps to make abrasive articles according to this first method are further described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,152,917 (Pieper et al.) and 6,129,540 (Hoopman et al.), both incorporated herein by reference. Randomly shaped abrasives composites may be made by the tooling and procedures described in U.S. Patent No.
- the binder precursor is cured by radiation energy.
- the radiation energy can be transmitted through the production tool so long as the production tool does not appreciably absorb the radiation energy. Additionally, the radiation energy source should not appreciably degrade the production tool. It is preferred to use a thermoplastic production tool and ultraviolet or visible light.
- the slurry can be coated onto the backing and not into the cavities of the production tool. The slurry coated backing is then brought into contact with the production tool such that the slurry flows into the cavities of the production tool. The remaining steps to make the abrasive article are the same as detailed above. Another method is illustrated in FIG. 3.
- Backing 51 leaves an unwind station 52 and the slurry 54 is coated into the cavities of the production tool 55 by means of the coating station 53.
- the slurry can be coated onto the tool by any one of many techniques such as drop die coating, roll coating, knife coating, curtain coating, vacuum die coating, or die coating. Again, it is possible to heat the slurry and/or subject the slurry to ultrasonics prior to coating to lower the viscosity. During coating the formation of air bubbles should be minimized. Then, the backing and the production tool containing the abrasive slurry are brought into contact by a nip roll 56 such that the slurry wets the front surface of the backing.
- the binder precursor in the slurry is at least partially cured by exposure to an energy source 57.
- the slurry is converted to an abrasive composite 59 that is bonded or adhered to the backing.
- the resulting abrasive article is removed from the production tool by means of nip rolls 58 and wound onto a rewind station 60.
- the production tool may be removed from the binder precursor prior to any curing of the precursor at all.
- the precursor may be cured.
- the energy source can be thermal energy or radiation energy. If the energy source is either ultraviolet light or visible light, it is preferred that the backing be transparent to ultraviolet or visible light. An example of such a backing is polyester backing.
- the slurry can be coated directly onto the front surface of the backing.
- the slurry coated backing is then brought into contact with the production tool such that the slurry wets into the cavities of the production tool.
- the remaining steps to make the abrasive article are the same as detailed above.
- Another aspect of this invention pertains to a method of abrading a metal or wooden surface.
- This method involves bringing into frictional contact the abrasive article of this invention with a workpiece having a metal or wooden surface.
- abrading means that a portion of the metal workpiece is cut or removed by the abrasive article.
- the surface finish associated with the workpiece surface is typically reduced after this refining process.
- One typical surface finish measurement is Ra; Ra is the arithmetic surface finish generally measured in microinches or micrometers.
- the surface finish can be measured by a profilometer, such as a Perthometer or Surtronic.
- the metal workpiece can be any type of metal such as mild steel, stainless steel, titanium, metal alloys, exotic metal alloys and the like.
- the workpiece may be flat or may have a shape or contour associated with it.
- the force at the abrading interface can range from about 0.1 kg to over 1000 kg. Generally this range is from 1 kg to 500 kg of force at the abrading interface.
- This liquid can be water and/or an organic compound. Examples of typical organic compounds include lubricants, oils, emulsified organic compounds, cutting fluids, soaps, or the like. These liquids may also contain other additives such as defoamers, degreasers, corrosion inhibitors, or the like.
- the abrasive article may oscillate at the abrading interface during use.
- the abrasive articles of the invention can be used by hand or used in combination with a machine. At least one or both of the abrasive article and the workpiece is moved relative to the other during grinding.
- the abrasive article can be converted into a belt, tape roll, disc, sheet, and the like. For belt applications, the two free ends of an abrasive sheet are joined together and a splice is formed. It is also within the scope of this invention to use a spliceless belt like that described in the assignee's co-pending patent application U.S.
- the endless abrasive belt traverses over at least one idler roll and a platen or contact wheel.
- the hardness of the platen or contact wheel is adjusted to obtain the desired rate of cut and workpiece surface finish.
- the abrasive belt speed depends upon the desired cut rate and surface finish.
- the belt dimensions can range from about 5 mm to 1,000 mm wide and from about 5 mm to 10,000 mm long.
- Abrasive tapes are continuous lengths of the abrasive article. They can range in width from about 1 mm to 1,000 mm, generally between 5 mm to 250 mm.
- the abrasive tapes are usually unwound, traverse over a support pad that forces the tape against the workpiece and then rewound.
- the abrasive tapes can be continuously feed through the abrading interface and can be indexed.
- the abrasive disc can range from about 50 mm to 1,000 mm in diameter.
- abrasive discs are secured to a back-up pad by an attachment means. These abrasive discs can rotate between 100 to 20,000 revolutions per minute, typically between 1,000 to 15,000 revolutions per minute.
- the abrasive article 100 includes a backing 130.
- the backing 130 is typically a belt, though other shapes and forms are possible. When the backing 130 is a belt, it typically includes a machine direction and a cross direction, which are arranged orthogonally to one another.
- the backing 130 is adjacent to and connected to an array 110 of microreplicated features 120. Typically, the features 120 are arranged on the backing 130 in an array 110 including an offset.
- the array 110 is typically oriented on an angle or bias with respect to the machine direction of the article 100.
- the array 110 includes a plurality of features 120. hi the example embodiment shown, each feature includes a base 122 and a body 123.
- the base 122 is a parallelogram, but can be in other shapes, as the particular applications requires.
- Base 122 is adjacent or near the backing 130, and is connected or coupled to the same.
- each feature includes four sidewalls 127 or surfaces projecting from the base forming a polyhedron. While the example features shown include four sidewalls, there can be more or less, depending on the particular application.
- the polyhedron can be of any shape, but is typically pyramidal or prismatic in shape.
- Each feature 120 includes at least one sidewall 124 that forms positive rake angle ⁇ with respect to the base 122. The rake angle ⁇ on the sidewall 124 forms an undercut section 125 on the sidewall 124.
- the undercut 125 functions particularly well in applications where wood is the material to be abraded with the abrasive article 100. In woodworking applications, swarf or other debris tends to build up on and clog the abrasive article 100. Removal of swarf or other debris is facilitated by including a radiused portion R on the sidewall 124 have the undercut 125. The radiused portion R is located adjacent to the backing 130. Including a gap or land region between adjacent features also facilitates removal of built up material.
- the undercut face 125 is the leading edge 124 of the abrasive article as the abrasive article 100 engages a workpiece to remove material.
- leading edge 124 can engage the workpiece with the leading edge oriented to either directly engage or engage at a bias. Including a slight bias angle allows swarf or other debris to be pushed preferentially to one edge of the abrasive article 100 for removal.
- Each feature 120 can also include a top planar portion 128 that is angled at an angle ⁇ with respect to the base 122 of the feature 120.
- the top section 128 is coated with abrasive particles 140.
- the abrasive particles 140 assist in removing material from and further conditioning the workpiece.
- the features 120 of the array 110 are typically arranged having a pitch P in the machine direction (the direction that the undercut surface engages a workpiece) and a gap
- the pitch P between features 120 in the engagement (or machine) direction can be varied so that the leading edge of the undercut 125 sidewall overlaps the base 122 of the feature directly adjacent or neighboring.
- the pitch P can be constant or varied.
- the trailing sidewall 127 (opposite the undercut sidewall) is slanted at angle ⁇ less than 90 degrees from the base 122.
- adding a radiused section R2 at the base of each sidewall in the cross-direction will also aid in material removal.
- the opposed sidewalls in the cross-direction can be angled out from being perpendicular at an angle ⁇ .
- Example 1 An abrasive article according to the present disclosure was made and tested.
- the article included an array of features arranged on a backing material.
- the features were arranged so that the features were offset in the cross-direction.
- Each feature had a height at its point most distally from the backing of about 20 mils (1 mil equals 0.001 inch), a machine direction pitch P of about 32 mils and a cross direction gap of about 2 mils.
- the radius in the sidewall on the undercut sidewall was about 4 miles and the radius of each sidewall in the cross-direction was about 1.3 mils.
- the undercut sidewall had a positive rake angle of about 5 degrees.
- the sidewall opposite the undercut sidewall was angled at about 45 degrees from the base and the planar top portion was angled at about 10 degrees from parallel with respect to the base.
- the abrasive article described-above has been found by the inventors to be particularly well-suited to removing material from wooden workpiece.
- the undercut sidewall performs the majority of material removal.
- the abrasive particles on the planar top section then lightly scratch the surface of the workpiece, allowing the workpiece to be ready to take a stain without further preparation.
- the abrasive article described-above was made by first creating a tool that was a negative of the image formed by the array.
- the tooling was coated with a medium grade abrasive mineral, aluminum oxide, available from Washington Mills.
- a slurry, made with Tatheic/TMPTA acrylic resin, KBF4, Irgacure 369, OX-50 silica and A174 silane and mineral was then coated onto the backing.
- a tool was applied to the slurry while it was on the backing.
- the backing used was polyester /cotton woven backing, available from Milliken. The product was then cured and separated from the tooling.
- abrasive mineral or particles, slurry, backing materials can be used, depending on the particular application desired for the abrasive article.
