Description

203~706 _ Docket BV-2486 VITRIFIED BONDED GRINDING WHEBL
WIT~ MI~T~RES ~F SOL GEL AL~MINO~S
ABRASIVES AND SILICON CARBI~E

Ken Lee 220 Reservoir Street Holden, Massachusetts 01520 Charles V. Rue The Common Petersham, Massachusetts 01366 TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to vitrified bonded grinding wheels and more specifically to vitrified bonded grinding wheels containing a mixture of a sintered aluminous abrasive and a non-sintered abrasive.

BACRGROUND OF T~E INVENTION
The abrasive grain portion of the majority of vitreous-bonded grinding wheels in commercial use is composed of either fused aluminum oxide or silicon carbide.
Those skilled in the art of grinding select silicon carbide as the preferred abrasive when the object to be ground is titanium, a super alloy, a low-tensile ferrous alloy, or a nonmetallic such as stone, ceramic, or glass. Similarly, those skilled in grinding select fused aluminum oxide for grinding steels, hardened or soft.
The use of mixtures of silicon carbide abrasive grains with fused aluminum oxide abrasive grains in the manufacture of grinding wheels and other abrasive bodies is known in the art and produces a product with properties intermediate to either abrasive type used singly. Such 2e~

2032~0-6 mixed abrasive type wheels are used where a single wheel must grind a wide variety of materials and need not be optimum for any single material. The grinding perfor~.ance is usually intermediate between that of either abrasive type used alone.

SU~Y OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention provides a vitreous-bonded mixed abrasive grinding article in which the abrasive grit portion is composed of silicon carbide grains plus sintered sol-gel alumina grains. The invention grinding articles provide substantial and unexpected benefits in the grinding of certain hard-to-grind metals over and above the results obtained using either type of abrasive grain alone.
The present invention provides a soi gel alumina based vitreous bonded grinding wheel that is well adapted for use in a wide range of applications including those for which alumina based wheels have usually been considered unsuitable.
The present invention further provides an abrasive article comprising a sintered sol gel aluminous abrasive and a vitreous bond which demonstrates excellent grinding performance that is quite unexpected in the circumstances.
The present invention resides in the discovery that when certain superior sintered sol gel aluminous abrasives are blended with silicon carbide in certain proportions in a vitrified bond, a product results which is not inferior to a grinding wheel wherein the abrasive is all sintered sol gel aluminous abrasive and in fact in some cases, produces a product the grinding properties of which are actually superior to the product which contains 100% of the sintered sol gel aluminous abrasive. Novel and useful grinding wheels result from replacing from 10 to 90 and preferably 30 to 70 by volume of the sintered sol gel aluminous abrasive with silicon carbide.

DETAILED DESC~IPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention is concerned with vitrified bonded grinding wheels which contain certain sintered sol gel aluminous abrasives blended with silicon carbide in certain proportions. There are several sintered aluminous abrasives currently in existence including sintered bauxite based abrasives and co-sintered alumina-zirconia. Sol gel aluminous abrasive grits are taught, for example, in U.S.
Patent 4,314,827. However the abrasives most conveniently used in the present invention are the newer sol gel types of alumina based abrasives taught by U.S. Patent 4,623,364.
The grain is made by preparing an aqueous gel of submicron sized hydrated alumina particles with an effective amount of submicron seed crystals, drying the gel, crushing the dried gel to a desired size, and firing the green grains at between about 1100C and 1500~C. Alternatively, the gel can be extruded in the form of filaments, dried, broken to the desired size and fired to form a microcrystalline abrasive grit with a substantially constant cross-section and an aspect ratio greater than 1. The resulting abrasive is such that each abrasive grain is made up of numerous submicron sized alpha alumina crystals and has a hardness of at least 16 and preferably at least 18 GPa. Such abrasives are commonly referred to as "seeded gel abrasives". The seed material can also be any other material such as ferric oxide or any other material that is substantially isostructural with alpha alumina under the reaction conditions following known principles of crystal propagation and growth.
The silicon carbide component of the abrasive blend can be, for example, the grit available as Crystolon~
from Norton Company. The grit can be either the green or the black silicon carbide varieties. Preferably the grit size of both abrasive components is from about 20 to about 240 such as from about 30 to about 160 and most conveniently from about 40 to about 120 mesh. The two abrasives may each be present in the wheel in quantities of about 10% to about 40% by volume, based on the total volume of the wheel. The wheels themselves are usually made up of from about 30% to about 56% by volume of combined abrasive, about 2.5% to about 50% by volume of vitrified bond, and about 5% to about 65% by volume of pores though proportions outside these ranges can be used if desired in special applications.
As pointed out in U.S. Patent 4,543,107 sintered sol gel aluminous abrasives, unlike the non-sintered type, can be susceptible to damage by inorganic glassy bonds at elevated temperatures. Therefore the bonds employed in the present invention should preferably be formulated so that they mature at 1220C or lower and even more preferably at 1100C or lower. In addition to the usual inorganic materials that go into vitrified or inorganic glassy bonds for grinding wheels, the bond may also incorporate therein beneficial fillers such as mullite, kyanite, bubble alumina, and the like.
While the discussion and data herein is directed to grinding wheels, it should be understood that abrasive articles such as sharpening stones, segments, and the like, are within the scope of the invention.
EXAMPLE I
A series of grinding tests were performed to illustrate the advantageous properties of the abrasive grit blends of the invention. In each case the grits were bonded with a bond, which comprised 30% ball clay and 70%
of a glass frit with a silica content of from 40 to 65~
weight, which had no deleterious affect on the grain when fired to a working temperature of 1100C or lower. The mixture was formed into a 12.7 cm wheel with a thickness of 0.64 cm. Each wheel after firing contained 48% by volume of total abrasive grit.

The sintered sol-gel aluminous grits used in the following Examples were seeded sol-gel grits made by Norton company having a grit size of 60 and a hardness in excess of 18 GPa. The green or black silicon carbide used also had a grit size of 60. The amount of bond in each case represented 11.55% of the total volume of the wheel.
The wheels were tested in an oil cooled plunge grinding rig on four different metal billets: titanium 6Al-4V; stainless steel 440C; stainless steel 302 and Titanium metal. Wheel rotation was 4970 rpm and the table speed was 15.4 m/min.
The results on the four metals are set out in the following Tables:

100% SG 4.56 4.465 1.02 2765 The above data demonstrate clearly that although, as might be anticipated, the G-ratio of the mixture is generally intermediate between the extremes represented by the component grits used alone, or else very close to that of the premium SG grit figure, the corresponding power drawdown to achieve that G ratio is significantly lower than with either component grit alone.
This is an unexpected result that could not have been predicted on the basis of the known behavior of the component grits. In an efficient grinding operation it is important to have a wheel with a long life that remains sharp that uses the lowest possible power drawdown to achieve the desired cut. The data clearly shows that the grit combinations of the present invention meet this requirement, especially in the context of grinding stainless steel.
The beneficial results detailed above are most surprising in view of the fact that they are secured by the incorporation of a grit that would normally be expected to have a deleterious effect on the metals ground. Indeed the data for SiC grit wheels indicates that their performance on stainless steels is poor and the performance of aluminous wheels on titanium alloys is likewise relatively inferior. Yet the performance of the blend is superior on all of these.
EXAMPLE II
The procedures of Example I were repeated except that the wheels were tested using a coolant that was a water soluble oil. The results are reported in Tables V to VII
