Abstract

ABSTRACT
An abrasive article such as a grinding wheel, disc or like tool is made up of metal objects such as rivets, staples or studs imbedded in a backing member and abrasive particles such as diamond or cubic boron nitride particles are electroplated onto exposed surfaces of the metal objects to provide a distribution of abrasive conglomerates over one surface of the article.

Description

and SindR application in di~er~e fielas 8uch a~ for ~xample ~rinding wh~el~ or discR, drilling bite and 8a~8, flexible discs, belt3 a~d ~heets.
The inventio~ provide~ an abrasive ar~icle ~, comprising a pluralit~ of metal ob~ects (~uch a8 staplea, studs or ri~et~) imbedded in ~ carryin~ material ; (Sor example a synthetic plastics material such a~
Slexi~l~ or non-flexible nylo~ or other plastics mat~rial) 80 that at least a part oS each metal object `~ i8 oxposed on a ~r~ace oS the car ~Lng mateIial and i. abras$ve particle~ (~uch a~ diamond or cubic boron ~Lt~ide pa~ticles) adhered to said expo#ed part3 of the ob~ect~ preferably b~ plati~g) to pro~id~ a distribution of abras~L~e conglomerates over ~aid surface. ~ each ~ - ¢o~glomerate can be spread to form regular patter~
.. ~ over the surface of the tool~, adYantages of clearance : Sor cuttL~gs w~th a corresponding lower loading on th~
Sacs Or l~uch a tool results in Saater stock remo~al :. 20 rates, lower power consumpton and reduced co~t.
- !C~e in~antion al~o pro~des a method of manu~actu~ing an ~rasiYe article comprising adhering .. diamond, cubic boron nitride or lilce abra~ive particles, by means o~ an electro-depo~ition process onto metal ~5 studs, rivets, 8taple8 or lil~e metal object~, .
