Abstract
A composite abrasive compact is produced by placing strips of suitable abrasive material on a cemented carbide substrate. The strips each comprise abrasive particles, optionally with a particulate second phase, in an organic binder. The organic binder is first removed by volatilisation. Then, the cemented carbide substrate with the strips thereon is subjected to compact-producing conditions of elevated temperature and pressure.
Description
--BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to abrasive products.
Abrasive compacts are used extensively in cutting, milling, grinding, drilling and other abrasive operations. The abrasive 5 compacts consist of polycrystalline diamond or cubic boron nitride particles bonded into a coherent hard conglomerate. The abrasive particle content of abrasive compacts is high and there is an extensive amount of direct particle-to-particle bonding. Abrasive compacts are made under elevated temperature and pressure conditions 10 at which the abrasive particle, be it diamond or cubic boron nitride, is crystallographically stable.
Abrasive compacts tend to be brittle and in use they are frequently supported by being bonded to a cemented carbide substrate. Such supported abrasive compacts are known in the art as composite 15 abrasive compacts. The composite abrasive compact may be used as such in the working surface of an abrasive tool.

Other effective cubic boron nitride abrasive bodies which do not contain as high an abrasive particle content as abrasive compacts 5 are also known and used in the art. Such abrasive bodies generally comprise a sintered body containing 40 to 60 volume percent of cubic boron nitride particles uniformly dispersed in a continuous ceramic bonding matrix. These abrasive bodies are also made under temperature and pressure conditions at which the cubic boron nitride 10 is crystallographically stable. US patent specification no.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The method of the invention is suitable for producing a variety of abrasive bodies, particularly composite abrasive compacts.
Essential to the invention is that a layer of the components 5 necessary to form the layer of bonded ultra-hard abrasive particles, in particulate form, in an organic binder is deposited on a surface of the substrate. This enables thin, i.e. less than 0,5 mm in thickness, layers to be formed on the substrate surface. Further, layers of more uniform composition and thickness can be deposited 10 producing composite abrasive compacts and similar such bodies of improved quality. The organic binder binds the particulate components enabling the layer to be deposited on a curved, irregular or other surface. Finally, as will be described more fully hereinafter, composite abrasive compacts of various shapes and 15 characteristics may be conveniently produced using the method of the lnventlon.
The organic binder binds the particulate components and is preferably removed prior to subjecting the substrate and layer of particulate components to the conditions of elevated temperature and 20 pressure. The binder is preferably one which decomposes or volatilizes at a temperature of 300C or higher. Examples of suitable binders are cellulose binders and plasticizers. Removal of the binder is preferably achieved by heating the layer of particulate components to cause the binder to decompose or 25 volatilise.
The layer of particulate components may be deposited on the surface of the substrate by suspending the particulate components in a liquid such as water which contains the organic binder dispersed or dissolved therein, depositing that liquid suspension on the surface, 30 e.g. by dipping, spraying or coating and removing the liquid from the suspension. Removal of the liquid, particularly if it is water, will generally be achieved by heating.
-- 6 - t 336543 The layer of particulate components ma~ also be produced in the form of a coherent, self-supporting layer which is then placed on the surface of the substrate. The coherent. self-supporting layer may be produced by depositing a coating of the particulate components 5 suspended in a liquid which contains the organic binder dissolved or dispersed therein onto a support surface, remo~Ting the liquid from the coating, and heating the thus treated coating. The liquid will generally be water and it will typically removed from the coating by heating. After removal of the liquid from the coating, and prior to 10 heating it, it is preferable to compact the coating. Compaction may, for example, be achieved by passing the coating through a set of rollers. The coating in its final, heated form is coherent and self-supporting. It may be produced in thin strip form which may be flexible allowing it to be bent. Further details of the particular 15 steps which can be used in producing the coherent, self-supporting layers are described in British Patent Spcification No. 1,212,681.
The method of the invention may be used for producing abrasive bodies of a variety of shapes, sizes, compositions and 20 characteristics. The method may, in particular, be used for producing composite abrasive compacts of high quality. For such composite compacts, the particulate components will comprise the ultra-hard abrasive particles alone or in combination with material necessary to produce a second phase. When the ultra-hard abrasive 25 particles are diamond, the particulate components will typically consist of diamond particles alone or in admixture with a particulate metal. When the ultra-hard abrasive particles are cubic boron nitride, the particulate components will typically consist of cubic boron nitride particles and a particulate second phase such as 30 cobalt, aluminium, and an aluminium alloy or a ceramic compound.
-~ 7 ~ 1 336543 The surface of the substrate may be flat, curved or of other shape.
The presence of the organic binder enables the layer of particulate components to be applied to surfaces such as curved surfaces which would not normally hold the particulate components. In one 5 particular form of the invention, the substrate presents at least one major flat surface and the layer is deposited on that surface so as to cover it completely. The major flat surface may form one side of a disc-shaped substrate.
The invention also enables alternate strips of different materials 10 to be formed on the substrate surface. For example, a plurality of coherent, self-supporting layers in strip form may be produced in the manner described above, the strips placed on the major flat surface of a substrate in spaced relationship and a material suitable to produce a bonded abrasive layer less abrasive than the 15 layers of bonded ultra-hard abrasive particles may be placed in the spaces between the adjacent strips. Alternatively, two sets of strips can be produced and placed on the surface, such that the strips of one set alternate with the strips of the other set.
The substrate will generally be a cemented carbide substrate. A
20 preferred cemented carbide is a cobalt cemented tungsten carbide.
The conditions of elevated temperature and pressure which are used in the method of invention are typically a pressure in the range of 50-70 kilobars and a temperature in the range 1450-1600C.
Typically, these elevated conditions are maintained for a period of 25 I0-30 minutes.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described. A plurality of strips of abrasive particles bonded by means of a cellulose binder were produced by suspending the abrasive particles in water in which the cellulose was dissolved. The suspension was deposited on a - 8 - l 336543 surface and the water removed by heating. This produced a coating with some coherency. The coating was passed through rollers to compact it and then heated to produce a self-supporting strip. The two sets of strips were used - each set containing a different 5 abrasive particle.
These strips were then placed on a surface of a cemented carbide body in the manner illustrated by Figures 1 and 2. Referring to these Figures, there is shown a disc-shaped cemented carbide body 10, which has major flat surfaces 12,14 on opposite sides thereof.
10 A plurality of the strips 16,18 were placed on the surface 14. The strips 16 were from the one set whereas the strips 18 were from the other set. The carbide disc on which the strips had been placed were then heated to a temperature of above 300C to volatilize the cellulose binder. Thereafter, the disc was placed in a reaction 15 capsule and the capsule placed in the reaction zone of a conventional high temperature/high pressure apparatus. The contents of the capsule were subjected to a temperature of 1500C and a pressure of 55 kilobars. These conditions were maintained for a period of 15 minutes. This sintering caused the strips 16,18 to 20 form effective layers of bonded abrasive which layers were bonded to each other and to the carbide body 10. The body was recovered from the reaction capsule using conventional techniques.
The body was cut or severed along planes indicated by the dotted lines on Figure 1. This had the effect of producing diamond-shaped 25 abrasive bodies of the type illustrated by Figure 3. It will be noted that each body has two separate layers of different material bonded to the carbide backing, each layer providing a cutting point 20. Thus, for example, the layer 16 may be of diamond compact while the layer 18 may be of cubic boron nitride compact. A variety of 30 different combinations may be used producing versatile abrasive ~ - 9 - 1 336543 bodies, each having cutting points or edges of different abrasive properties. The difference in abrasive properties can also be achieved by using the same abrasive particles, bit of different size, in each layer. The abrasive bodies of Figure 3 may be 5 utilised as inserts in a variety of abrasive tools.
A second embodiment is illustrated by Figures 4 and 5. Figure 5 is a section along the line 5-5 of Figure 4. A disc-shaped cemented carbide body 50 has a plurality of diamond-shaped recesses 52 formed in the flat surface 54 thereof. Each recess is filled with a layer 10 of abrasive particles in an organic binder such as cellulose. The binder was removed by heating. The cemented carbide body was then placed in the reaction zone of a conventional high temperature and high pressure apparatus in the manner described above and subjected to the same high temperature/high pressure conditions. The body 15 recovered from the apparatus was severed along the planes indicated by the dotted lines in Figure 4. Such severing had the effect of producing a plurality of square abrasive bodies of the type illustrated by Figures 6A or 6B depending on how the severing took place. Each abrasive body had a cemented carbide core 58 and 20 abrasive cutting corners 60. The abrasive cutting corners may be of the same material or of different material.
Another embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to Figures 7 to 9. A body 30 of cemented carbide had a circular, in plan, recess 32 formed in one major flat surface 34.
25 Alternate strips of abrasive material 36 and other material 38 were placed across the base surface 40 of the recess. Adjacent strips are contiguous with their neighbours and are spaced evenly across the base surface, as illustrated particularly by Figure 2. Each strip was coherent and self-supporting and produced in the manner 30 described above with reference to the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2.
The abrasive material were diamonds alone or a mixture of diamond particles and cobalt powder. The other material was a mixture of carbide particles and cobalt powder.
lo - 1 336543 The strips were heated to remove the organic binder. Thereafter a layer 42 of diamond particles was placed on the strips 36,38.
The diamonds of the strips were larger than the diamonds of the layer 42. In this manner the recess 32 was completely filled. The 5 loaded disc 30 was placed in a reaction capsule and this capsule placed in the reaction zone of a conventional high temperature/high pressure apparatus. The contents of the capsule were subjected to a pressure of 55 kilobars and simultanously a temperature of 1500 C
and these elevated conditions are maintained for a period of 15 10 minutes. This resulted in the diamond layer 42 forming a diamond compact bonded to the strips 36,38 which in turn were bonded to the cemented carbide disc. The material of the layers 36 formed diamond compact which was bonded on each side to its neighbours.
The product was removed from the reaction capsule and the sides of 15 the disc removed, as illustrated by dotted lines in Figure 1. After removal of the sides, the resulting product was as illustrated by Figure 3. It will be noted from this Figure that the diamond compact layer 42 has, in effect, a series of grooves 36 containing further diamond compact material located immediately behind it. The product 20 is thus of a groove cutter type.
This invention relates to abrasive products.

The abrasive 5 compacts consist of polycrystalline diamond or cubic boron nitride particles bonded into a coherent hard conglomerate.

Typically, these elevated conditions are maintained for a period of 25 I0-30 minutes.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described. A plurality of strips of abrasive particles bonded by means of a cellulose binder were produced by suspending the abrasive particles in water in which the cellulose was dissolved. The suspension was deposited on a - 8 - l 336543 surface and the water removed by heating. This produced a coating with some coherency.

These strips were then placed on a surface of a cemented carbide body in the manner illustrated by Figures 1 and 2. Referring to these Figures, there is shown a disc-shaped cemented carbide body 10, which has major flat surfaces 12,14 on opposite sides thereof.
10 A plurality of the strips 16,18 were placed on the surface 14. The strips 16 were from the one set whereas the strips 18 were from the other set. The carbide disc on which the strips had been placed were then heated to a temperature of above 300C to volatilize the cellulose binder. Thereafter, the disc was placed in a reaction 15 capsule and the capsule placed in the reaction zone of a conventional high temperature/high pressure apparatus. The contents of the capsule were subjected to a temperature of 1500C and a pressure of 55 kilobars. These conditions were maintained for a period of 15 minutes. This sintering caused the strips 16,18 to 20 form effective layers of bonded abrasive which layers were bonded to each other and to the carbide body 10. The body was recovered from the reaction capsule using conventional techniques.
The body was cut or severed along planes indicated by the dotted lines on Figure 1. This had the effect of producing diamond-shaped 25 abrasive bodies of the type illustrated by Figure 3. It will be noted that each body has two separate layers of different material bonded to the carbide backing, each layer providing a cutting point 20. Thus, for example, the layer 16 may be of diamond compact while the layer 18 may be of cubic boron nitride compact. A variety of 30 different combinations may be used producing versatile abrasive ~ - 9 - 1 336543 bodies, each having cutting points or edges of different abrasive properties. The difference in abrasive properties can also be achieved by using the same abrasive particles, bit of different size, in each layer. The abrasive bodies of Figure 3 may be 5 utilised as inserts in a variety of abrasive tools.
A second embodiment is illustrated by Figures 4 and 5. Figure 5 is a section along the line 5-5 of Figure 4. A disc-shaped cemented carbide body 50 has a plurality of diamond-shaped recesses 52 formed in the flat surface 54 thereof. Each recess is filled with a layer 10 of abrasive particles in an organic binder such as cellulose. The binder was removed by heating. The cemented carbide body was then placed in the reaction zone of a conventional high temperature and high pressure apparatus in the manner described above and subjected to the same high temperature/high pressure conditions. The body 15 recovered from the apparatus was severed along the planes indicated by the dotted lines in Figure 4. Such severing had the effect of producing a plurality of square abrasive bodies of the type illustrated by Figures 6A or 6B depending on how the severing took place. Each abrasive body had a cemented carbide core 58 and 20 abrasive cutting corners 60. The abrasive cutting corners may be of the same material or of different material.
Another embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to Figures 7 to 9. A body 30 of cemented carbide had a circular, in plan, recess 32 formed in one major flat surface 34.
25 Alternate strips of abrasive material 36 and other material 38 were placed across the base surface 40 of the recess. Adjacent strips are contiguous with their neighbours and are spaced evenly across the base surface, as illustrated particularly by Figure 2. Each strip was coherent and self-supporting and produced in the manner 30 described above with reference to the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2.
The abrasive material were diamonds alone or a mixture of diamond particles and cobalt powder. The other material was a mixture of carbide particles and cobalt powder.
lo - 1 336543 The strips were heated to remove the organic binder. Thereafter a layer 42 of diamond particles was placed on the strips 36,38.
The diamonds of the strips were larger than the diamonds of the layer 42. In this manner the recess 32 was completely filled. The 5 loaded disc 30 was placed in a reaction capsule and this capsule placed in the reaction zone of a conventional high temperature/high pressure apparatus. The contents of the capsule were subjected to a pressure of 55 kilobars and simultanously a temperature of 1500 C
and these elevated conditions are maintained for a period of 15 10 minutes. This resulted in the diamond layer 42 forming a diamond compact bonded to the strips 36,38 which in turn were bonded to the cemented carbide disc. The material of the layers 36 formed diamond compact which was bonded on each side to its neighbours.
The product was removed from the reaction capsule and the sides of 15 the disc removed, as illustrated by dotted lines in Figure 1. After removal of the sides, the resulting product was as illustrated by Figure 3. It will be noted from this Figure that the diamond compact layer 42 has, in effect, a series of grooves 36 containing further diamond compact material located immediately behind it. The product 20 is thus of a groove cutter type.
