Abstract:
Abrasive particles comprising shaped abrasive particles each having a sidewall, each of the shaped abrasive particles comprising alpha alumina and having a first face and a second face separated by a sidewall and having a maximum thickness, T; and the shaped abrasive particles further comprising a plurality of grooves on the second face.
Abstract:
A method of making shaped abrasive particles including forming an abrasive flake comprising a plurality of precursor shaped abrasive particles and a frangible support joining the precursor shaped abrasive particles together; transporting the abrasive flake through a rotary kiln to sinter the abrasive flake; and breaking the sintered abrasive flake into individual shaped abrasive particles. The method is useful to make small shaped abrasive particles having insufficient mass to be efficiently individually sintered in a rotary kiln without joining two or more of the shaped abrasive particles together.
Abstract:
A method of making sintered abrasive particles includes passing alumina precursor particles through a flame under conditions such that they are converted to alpha alumina. The precursor particles comprise a precursor of alpha alumina and have an average particle size of less than or equal to 500 microns. Sintered abrasive particles have a cellular microstructure comprising alpha alumina crystal grains of alpha alumina having a maximum dimension of less than about 3 microns are also disclosed. The sintered abrasive particles have an average particle size of less than or equal to 500 microns, and are essentially free of seed particles and alpha alumina grain size modifiers. Abrasive articles comprising a binder and a plurality of the sintered abrasive particles are also disclosed.
