(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 ) did.

[0060] The porosity values ​​measured via Archimedes' method and listed in Tables 1 and 2 were measured 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 Archimedes' method above). The calculation was based on the above.

[0061] Another series of nine body samples (samples S11 to S19) were prepared by adding the powder material to the mold in one step. The powder was added in the same manner as the samples in Table 1, except that 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). ) had a much larger porosity variation (approximately 49% to 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 particles larger than 1 micron. Similarly, the pores in the specimen after cold pressing and heating were also observed. The density of the body 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 Figure 4A. The body is clear without any larger agglomerates of particles and larger It can be seen that there were no pores or cracks and the structure was very homogeneous. Image analysis performed using ageJ software revealed that the transverse section of the body shown in Figure 4A 1mm 2 Agglomerates (referred to herein as defects) having a diameter of 50 microns or more within an area of (also called 'non-isotopic')

[0065] Furthermore, FIG. 4A focuses on detecting defects with a size of 18 microns or greater. Analysis of the image shows that the body is 1mm2 It is clear that the area contains less than five defects, and 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, glassy bond, organic bond) agent), but was not prepared by an embodiment of the method disclosed herein, A comparison sample is shown in Figure 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 diameters of over 50 microns. 1mm 2 The quantity of defects was determined to be 200 per unit.

[0067] The body of the sample shown in FIG. 4A was subjected to Micron The pore size was measured using a eritics AutoPore IV mercury porosimeter. Further analysis was carried out by the distribution of the mean.

[0068] A graph of the pore size distribution is shown in Figure 2A, showing 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 less than 1 micron in size 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% were prepared, and the mechanical properties Shore D hardness The same volume of pressurized water was used as described in Example 1 and tested for hardness and elastic modulus (EMOD). By varying the amount of powder mixture filled into the mold while pressing, different voids can be obtained. A body having porosity was formed.

[0071] The Shore D hardness measurement list for the main body sample is shown in Figure 7. The highest Shore D hardness was approximately 53 It can be seen that the body has a porosity of 100%. The Shore D hardness is measured according to ASTM-D224 Measured by 0.

[0072] A similar trend was observed for the elastic modulus (EMOD). The best value was approximately Although it was observed even at a porosity of 53%, EMOD decreased with further increase in porosity. OD was determined according to ASTM-E1876.

[0073] Example 4 Assembling the grinding wheel. Samples S1 to S10, which are sintered bodies produced according to the description of Example 1, are used in the present specification. Cut the body into smaller body segments, also called the body of the body, and each body segment is As shown, it is approximately 0.5 inches long, 0.125 inches high, and 0.25 inches thick. It had a chip shape and rounded edges.

[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 segments (a plurality of 48 bodies) is shown in FIG.

[0075] The body segment described and shown in this example is only one non-limiting embodiment. The shapes of the main body segments and the arrangement of the multiple main bodies on the substrate are various. It will be appreciated that the grinding wheel may be larger than 11 inches. Or it can have a small 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- pressure 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 same structure was tested.

[0077] [Table 4]

[0078] Using the main body samples summarized in Table 4 as segments, a multi- A grinding wheel with a segment wheel structure was prepared. The grinding was performed using a 7AF-HMG grinding machine, and the substrate was a 4H-N type with a diameter of 6 inches. A silicon carbide wafer of 1000 nm was used.

[0079] From the results summarized in Table 4, it can be seen 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 lbs, but the valley depth (surface of the wafer) The subsurface induced damage was very high (1192 microns). The wheel of the main specimen S21 Sample C3 achieved an excellent surface finish with low surface roughness and approximately 10 times lower valley depth. did.
