Making abrasive particles with rheology modifiers and partial silane treating for coated abrasive applications | Publication Date: 11.30.16

Summary:

The formation of initial and final particles with desirable shapes and features, and fewer defects, can be improved by modifying the rheology of the gel. In particular, adding starches or other organic materials can improve the viscoelastic behavior of the gel and reduce sticking during removal from tool openings.  Then, by partially silane treating the particles after sintering, the orientation of the particles and distribution of the particles on a coated abrasive can be optimized for better grinding performance.
