Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to abrading tools and articles, including processes, materials, and composition relating to abrading tools and articles, for example abrading tools or articles comprised of randomly situated sharp edges of a mass of natural or manmade (synthetic) mineral crystals.
- Sheet-like abrasives such as conventional sandpaper, are commonly used in a variety of sanding and cleaning operations including hand sanding of wooden surfaces and cleaning of metal surfaces.
- Conventional sandpaper is typically produced by affixing abrasive mineral to a relatively thin, generally non-extensible, non-resilient, non-porous backing (e.g., paper, film etc.).
- a sanding tool such as a sanding block
- Sanding by hand can, of course, be an arduous task.
- cleaning metal by sanding will work on certain types of metals, but not all metals. Titanium, for instance, should not be cleaned by sanding because debris will be ground into the metal, making adhesive bonding difficult or impossible.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,613,113 discloses a flexible abrasive product comprising a flexible sheet-like reinforcing layer comprising a multiplicity of separated resilient bodies connected to each other in a generally planar array in a pattern that provides open spaces between adjacent connected bodies, each body having a first surface and an opposite second surface, and abrasive particles to cause at least the first surface to be an abrasive surface.
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an abrasive article according to the present disclosure.
- Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the abrasive article shown in Figure 1 in use for cleaning a surface.
- Figure 1 shows an abrasive article 10.
- the abrasive article 10 is useful for a wide variety of applications such as cleaning, sanding, scraping, or other such process of removing an outer layer or adherent matter.
- the abrasive article 10 is useful for cleaning metal surfaces in preparation for adhesive bonding.
- the abrasive article 10 is also useful for removing paint without damaging the underlying parent material, which may be an easily damaged material such as a copper mesh or aluminum.
- the abrasive article 10 includes a plurality of abrasive particles 12 at least partially embedded in a frozen liquid 14.
- the abrasive particles 12 can include aluminum oxide and the frozen liquid 14 can include de- ionized water.
- the liquid 14 can include an additive or a solvent such as an alcohol, for example ethanol.
- Such additives can include selected additives that are chosen based on the surface being cleaned.
- an additive such as peroxide or chromate may be used in order to activate the surface.
- the liquid 14 can be a water or water-alcohol solution that acts as an emulsion solution to bind up the particles 12.
- the liquid 14 can have preselected properties, for example pH level, tailored to the material to be treated with the abrasive article 10.
- the liquid 14 can be selected so as to prevent oxidation of the surface being treated.
- the abrasive article 10 can be manufactured by mixing the abrasive particles 12 with the liquid 14 while the liquid 14 is in a liquid state (i.e., the temperature of the liquid 14 is above the freezing temperature of the liquid 14).
- the mixture of abrasive particles 12 and liquid 14 is placed in a form or container that conforms to the desired shape of the abrasive article 10. The temperature of the mixture is then reduced at least until the liquid 14 is frozen.
- the abrasive article 10 shown in Figure 1 has been made in the form of a block having a plurality of generally planar surfaces.
- alternative embodiments of the abrasive article 10 can take on any desired shape.
- alternative embodiments of the abrasive article 10 can be formed in the shape of a cube, cylinder, pyramid, cone, prism, or sphere.
- Alternative shapes may be desired, for example, so as to allow the abrasive article 10 to better conform to a surface to be cleaned. Any desired form can be achieved by allowing the abrasive article 10 to freeze while in a container that has the desired shape.
- FIG. 2 shows an example of a method of cleaning using the abrasive article 10.
- the abrasive article 10 can be used in a similar fashion as a conventional sanding block - one simply rubs the abrasive article 10 across a surface 16 to be cleaned, for example in directions shown as arrow A.
- the surface 16 includes contaminated regions 18 that may either be coated with various dirt, debris, residue, corrosion, paint or other undesired material.
- a rubbing surface 20 of the abrasive article 10 is rubbed across the contaminated regions 18 of the surface 16, the abrasive particles 12 exposed at the rubbing surface 20 act to scrap away contaminates 18'.
- the frozen liquid 14 at the rubbing surface 20 of the abrasive article 10 will begin to thaw as the rubbing surface 20 is rubbed back and forth across the surface 16.
- the resulting thawed liquid 14' helps to wash away at least some of the loosened contaminates 18', such as corrosion particles and/or other contaminating debris.
- the abrasive particles 12 gradually lose their abrasiveness as they scrape the surface 16. For this reason, when using conventional sandpaper, the sandpaper must periodically be replaced. In contrast, since the frozen liquid 14 of the abrasive article 10 is thawing at the rubbing surface 20 as the abrasive article 10 scrapes the surface 16, new abrasive particles 12 are constantly being exposed at the rubbing surface 20 of the abrasive article 10. It should also be appreciated that abrasive particles 12 embedded in the thawed regions of the abrasive article 10 will also be carried away from the abrasive article 10 by the liquid 14'. The end result is a clean-water break-free surface.
- the method can include rinsing the surface 16 while sanding, for example using a liquid from some source other than the abrasive article 10.
- the rinsing can be done during and/or after the sanding operation. After a thorough rinse (for example with de-ionized water) and drying, the treated surface is ready for bonding. It should also be appreciated that the liquid 14' carries away scraped-away particles from the surface 16 and contaminates 18'.
- the abrasive article 10 allows for sanding without dispersing dust into the air. This is a significant advantage, particularly where the surface 16 and/or contaminates 18 may include hazardous material.
