Abstract:
A boehmite particulate material is disclosed. The material is formed by a process that includes providing a boehmite precursor and boehmite seeds in a suspension, and heat treating the suspension to convert the boehmite precursor into boehmite particulate material. The boehmite particulate material has an aspect ratio of not less than 3:1.
Abstract:
A method for making abrasive grains, the method comprising mixing one or more solids with one or more liquids in a twin screw extruder to form a mixture, transferring the mixture to a high pressure piston extruder; and extruding the mixture from the high pressure piston extruder through a die to form an extrude. The method further includes segmenting the extrudate to form extruded shaped abrasive particles.
Abstract:
An alumina particulate material is disclosed, including particles comprising transitional alumina having an aspect ratio of not less that 3:1 and an average particle size of not less than 75nm. Also disclosed are fabrication techniques based on seeded processing pathways.

Abstract:
A method of forming a shaped abrasive particle includes applying a mixture into a shaping assembly within an application zone and directing an ejection material at the mixture in the shaping assembly under a predetermined force, removing the mixture from the shaping assembly and forming a precursor shaped abrasive particle.
Abstract:
A method for forming alumina particulate material comprising: Providing a boehmite precursor and boehmite seeds in a suspension at a weight ratio not less than 60:40, the boehmite precursor comprising hydrated alumina and heat treating the suspension at temperatures greater than 120°C, converting the boehmite precursor in boehmite particulate material and calcining said particulate material to transform it into transitional alumina particulate material having a platelet shape and a secondary aspect ratio of not less than 3:1.
