The raw powder was approximately 91.5 wt. % with an average particle size (D50) of approximately 0.5 microns. % diamond particles, 7.0% by weight of a vitreous material with an average particle size of 2.5 microns %, and 1.5 wt. % of an organic binder (polyethylene glycol). It was a final mixture.

[0054] Approximately 0.543g / cm 3 The powders are mixed and mixed to obtain the desired tap density. In total, 47.5g of raw powder was added to the mold in three steps. The mold was filled.

[0055] After filling the mold, it was closed and the precalculated volume was 33 cm 3 The powder is then cooled at room temperature. The pressure applied was approximately 9 tons / inch for approximately 10 seconds. 2 (124MPa) After cold pressing, the press body was removed from the mold and transferred to an oven. Heating was performed at a heating rate of 1°C / min to 515°C, followed by a heating rate of 2°C / min to a temperature of 700°C. The heating was performed at 400°C and maintained at 700°C for 3 hours.

[0056] A series of 10 sintered bodies (samples 1 to 10) were prepared by the above process. Sample S The fabrication of the body of 1 was sufficiently repeatable. This resulted in the voids between the 10 samples. The standard deviation of the porosity values ​​was 0.122, which is referred to herein as the porosity content variation (PCV The measured density (weight divided by volume) of each body after heating and cooling to room temperature. of) is 1.44g / cm 3 It was.

[0057] [Table 1]

[0058] All pore size distributions described herein are determined according to ASTM D4404-10. and measured with a Micromeritics AutoPore IV mercury porosimeter. The porosity was measured via the water saturation of the pores by the Archimedes method.

[0059] The porosity measurement was carried out by placing the sample body in an oven at 80°C for about 2 hours and then removing it from the oven. Immediately after taking out the dry weight (W bd The dry weight was measured. After the measurement, the device was placed in a chamber containing distilled water and immersed in the water to measure the weight of the device due to water absorption. Increase in quantity (W ba) was measured using a balance. After a stable weight of the body in water was obtained, the body was placed in the water. The body is then removed from the container, dried with a damp cloth to remove excess water, and the body is immediately reweighed to remove any excess water. (W bs The weight of the body saturated with water was obtained. The porosity was calculated by the following formula: P(% )=(V body wV body true / V body w)×100, where V b ody w =W bs -W ba / d w and V true =W bd / d theo and d th eo is the theoretical density of the body without pores. Based on the amount of bond and vitreous bonding material, excluding pore volume, 3.21 g / cm 3 The value of The density of the body was calculated based on the value obtained during the Archimedes method. The dry weight of the main body (W bd ) to the volume of the body (V body w ) by dividing did.

[0060] The porosity values ​​measured via the Archimedes method and listed in Tables 1 and 2 were Regarding the open porosity of the sample, this means the pores accessible to water. The percentage of the total volume of the body (not reached by the The closed porosity was less than 1% by volume. , actual density, and measured "open" porosity (via the Archimedes method described above). The calculations were made based on the above.

[0061] Another series of nine body specimens (specimens S11 to S19) were prepared by adding the powder material to the mold in one step. The powder was mixed in the same manner as the samples in Table 1, except that the tap density was not increased and the powder was not mixed to its tap density. The porosity and density obtained are shown in Table 2.

[0062] From Table 2, the obtained porosity has a standard deviation of 1.47 (corresponding to a PCV value of 1.47 ), which had a much larger porosity variation (approximately 49%–54%). By measuring the pore size distribution of the body, it was found that more than 3% of the pore volume was made up of pores larger than 1 micron. It was also possible to observe that the pores were caused by the cold pressing and heating. The density of the body also varies widely, from 1.48 to 1.62 g / cm 3 The range was.

[0064] Example 2 Microstructural investigation. SEM of a cross-cut section of Sample 9 of Example 1 to illustrate the microstructure of the body. The image is shown in FIG. 4A. The body is clear without any larger agglomerates of particles and larger It can be seen that there were no significant pores or cracks and the structure was very homogeneous. Image analysis, performed using ageJ software, demonstrated that the transverse section of the body shown in Figure 4A 1mm 2 Agglomerates (referred to herein as defects) having a diameter size of 50 microns or more within an area of (also called

[0065] Further, FIG. 4A focuses on detecting defects having a size of 18 microns or more. Analysis of the image shows that the body is 1mm2 It is clear that the product contains less than five defects within the area of ​​the An average of three images at different positions was taken for analysis.

[0066] In contrast, the same types and amounts of starting components (diamond particles, vitreous bonds, organic bonds) agent) but was not prepared by an embodiment of the method disclosed herein; A comparison sample is shown in FIG. 2B. It can be seen that the microstructure is much more heterogeneous. Image analysis of the microstructure of the sample shown in Figure 2B reveals diameter sizes of more than 50 microns. Has 1mm 2 The amount of defects was determined to be 200 per unit.

[0067] The body of the sample shown in FIG. 4A was micrometer-sized according to ASTM D4404-10. The pore size was measured using a eritics AutoPore IV mercury porosimeter. Further analysis was performed using the distribution of the mean.

[0068] A graph of the pore size distribution is shown in FIG. 2A, which shows D10, D50, D90, and D99. The measured pore size distribution confirms the homogeneous structure of the body shown in Figure 4A. The body has a narrow pore size distribution, with all pores smaller than 1 micron up to the D99 value. It can be seen that it was.

[0070] Example 3 Mechanical properties with various porosities. Various bodies with porosities of 52 to 59 percent were prepared and the mechanical properties Shore D hardness The same volume was poured into the mold as described in Example 1 and the elastic modulus (EMOD) was tested. By varying the amount of powder mixture filled into the die while pressing, different voids can be obtained. A body having porosity was formed.

[0071] The Shore D hardness measurements of the main body samples are shown in Figure 7. The highest Shore D hardness was about 53. It can be seen that the body has a porosity of 1.0%. The Shore D hardness was measured according to ASTM-D224 Measured by 0.

[0072] A similar trend could be observed for the elastic modulus (EMOD). The best value was about The EMOD was also observed at a porosity of 53%, but as the porosity increased further, the EMOD decreased. OD was determined according to ASTM-E1876.

[0073] Example 4 Assembling the grinding wheel. The samples S1 to S10, which are sintered bodies produced according to the description of Example 1, are used herein. Cut the body into smaller body segments, also called bodies, and each body segment is As shown, it is approximately 0.5 inches long, 0.125 inches high, and 0.25 inches thick. The mold had a rounded edge and was shaped like a square.

[0074] The body segments are attached to the outer surface of a preformed wheel substrate using an epoxy adhesive. The 48 mounted body cells covered an 11 inch diameter circular substrate area. A drawing of a wheel containing a segment (a plurality of 48 bodies) is shown in FIG.

[0075] The body segment described and shown in this example is merely one non-limiting embodiment. The shapes of the main body segments and the arrangement of the multiple main bodies on the substrate may vary. It will be appreciated that the grinding wheel may be larger than 11 inches. Or it may have a smaller diameter size.

[0076] Example 5 Grinding performance testing. The grinding performance of a representative body (sample S20) with a porosity of 52.8% was compared with that of the over- The grinding performance of the main body (C1) made by overpressing was compared with that of the main body (C2) made by overpressing. The amount of powder was increased and pressed to the same volume. Porosity is 1mm 2 A less homogeneous structure with a defect density of about 22 defects per A further comparative body (C2) having the following structure was tested.

[0077] [Table 4]

[0078] Using the main body samples summarized in Table 4 as segments, a multi-body test was performed as shown in Figure 6. A grinding wheel with the structure of a segment wheel was prepared. The grinding experiment was carried out using the Revasu The grinding was performed using a 7AF-HMG grinding machine and a 4H-N type with a diameter of 6 inches was used as the substrate. Silicon carbide wafers of 1000 nm were used.

[0079] The results summarized in Table 4 show that the wheels made from the overpressed bodies It can be seen that too high a maximum force (over 100 lbs) was required for grinding. The comparative wheel C3 required a lower maximum force of 23 pounds, but the valley depth (the surface of the wafer) was The subsurface induced damage was very high (1192 microns). The wheel of the main body sample S21 had For sample C3, an excellent surface finish was achieved with low surface roughness and approximately 10 times lower valley depth. did.
