DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT(S)
According to an embodiment, the abrasive tool includes a carrier element and an abrasive component. The abrasive tool can be a cutting tool for cutting construction materials, such as a saw for cutting concrete. Alternatively, the abrasive tool can be a grinding tool such as for grinding concrete or fired clay or removing asphalt. The carrier element can be a solid metal disk, a ring, a ring section, or a plate. The abrasive component can include abrasive particles embedded in a metal matrix. The metal matrix can have a network of interconnected pores or pores that are partially or substantially fully filled with an infiltrant. A bonding region can be between the carrier element and the abrasive component and can contain a bonding metal. The bonding metal in the bonding region can be continuous with the infiltrant filling the network of interconnected pores.
In an exemplary embodiment, an abrasive component includes abrasive particles embedded in a metal matrix having a network of interconnected pores. The abrasive particles can be a superabrasive such as diamond or cubic boron nitride. The abrasive particles can have a particle size of not less than about 400 US mesh, such as not less than about 100 US mesh, such as between about 25 and 80 US mesh. Depending on the application, the size can be between about 30 and 60 US mesh. The abrasive particles can be present in an amount between about 2 vol% to about 50 vol%. Additionally, the amount of abrasive particles may depend on the application. For example, an abrasive component for a grinding or polishing tool can include between about 3.75 and about 50 vol% abrasive particles. Alternatively, an abrasive component for a cutting-off tool can include between about 2 vol% and 6.25 vol% abrasive particles. Further, an abrasive component for core drilling can include between about 6.25 vol% and 20 vol% abrasive particles.
The metal matrix can include iron, iron alloy, tungsten, cobalt, nickel, chromium, titanium, silver, and any combination thereof. In an example, the metal matrix can include a rare earth element such as cerium, lanthanum, and neodymium. In another example, the metal matrix can include a wear resistant component such as tungsten carbide. The metal matrix can include particles of individual components or pre-alloyed particles. The particles can be between about 1.0 microns and about 250 microns.
In an exemplary embodiment, the bonding metal composition can include copper, a copper-tin bronze, a copper-tin-zinc alloy, or any combination thereof. The copper-tin bronze may include a tin content not greater than about 20 wt%, such as not greater than about 15 wt%. Similarly, the copper- tin-zinc alloy may include a tin content not greater than about 20 wt%, such as not greater than about 15 wt%, and a zinc content not greater than about 10 wt%.
According to embodiments herein, the bonding region can form an identifiable interfacial layer that has a distinct phase from both the underlying carrier and the abrasive component. The bonding metal composition is related to the infiltrant composition in having a certain degree of commonality of elemental species. Quantitatively, an elemental weight percent difference between the bonding metal composition and the infiltrant composition does not exceed 20 weight percent. Elemental weight percent difference is defined as the absolute value of the difference in weight content of each element contained in the bonding metal composition relative to the infiltrant composition.
By way of example only, in an embodiment having a (i) bonding metal composition containing 85 weight percent Cu, 10 weight percent Sn and 5 weight percent Zn, and (ii) an infiltrant composition containing 82 weight percent Cu, 17 weight percent Sn, and 1 weight percent Zn, the elemental weight percent difference between the bonding metal composition and the infiltrant composition for Cu is 5 weight percent, for Sn is 7 weight percent and for Zn is 4 weight percent. The maximum elemental weight percent difference between the bonding metal composition and the infiltrant composition is, accordingly, 7 weight percent.
Other embodiments have closer compositional relationships between the bonding metal composition and the composition of the infiltrant. The elemental weight percent difference between the bonding metal composition and the infiltrant composition may, for example, not exceed 15 weight percent, 10 weight percent, 5 weight percent, or may not exceed 2 weight percent. An elemental weight percent difference of about zero represents the same composition making up the bonding region and the infiltrant. The foregoing elemental values may be measured by any suitable analytical means, including microprobe elemental analysis, and ignores alloying that might take place along areas in which the infiltrant contacts the metal matrix.
Turning to the details of the process by which the abrasive component may be manufactured, abrasive particles can be combined with a metal matrix to form a mixture. The metal matrix can include iron, iron alloy, tungsten, cobalt, nickel, chromium, titanium, silver, or any combination thereof. In an embodiment, the metal matrix can include a rare earth element, such as cerium, lanthanum, and neodymium. In another embodiment, the metal matrix can include a wear resistant component, such as tungsten carbide. The metal matrix can include metal particles of between about 1 micron and 250 microns. The metal matrix can include a blend of particles of the components of the metal matrix or can be pre-alloyed particles of the metal matrix. Depending on the application, the composition of the metal matrix may vary.
In an embodiment, the metal matrix can conform to the formula (WC)wWxFeyCrzX(1.w.x.y.z), wherein 0<w<0.8, 0<x<0.7, 0<y<0.8, 0<z<0.05, w+x+y+z≤l, and X can include other metals such as cobalt and nickel.
In another embodiment, the metal matrix can conform to the formula (WC)wWxFeyCrzAgvX(1.v. w-x-y-z), wherein 0<w<0.5, 0<x<0.4, O≤y≤l .O, 0<z<0.05, O≤v≤O. l, v+w+x+y+z≤l, and X can include other metals such as cobalt and nickel.
The abrasive particles can be a superabrasive, such as diamond, cubic boron nitride (CBN), or any combination thereof. The abrasive particles can be present in an amount between about 2 vol% to about 50 vol%. Additionally, the amount of abrasive particles may depend on the application. For example, an abrasive component for a grinding or polishing tool can include between about 3.75 and about 50 vol% abrasive particles. Alternatively, an abrasive component for a cutting tool can include between about 2 vol% and 6.25 vol% abrasive particles. Further, an abrasive component for core drilling can include between about 6.25 vol% and 20 vol% abrasive particles. The abrasive particles can have a particle size of less than about 400 US mesh, such as not less than about 100 US mesh, such as between about 25 and 80 US mesh. Depending on the application, the size can be between about 30 and 60 US mesh.
The mixture of metal matrix and abrasive particles can be pressed, such as by cold pressing, to form a porous abrasive component. For example, the cold pressing can be carried out at a pressure of between about 50 kN/cm (500 MPa) to about 250 kN/cm (2500 MPa). The resulting porous abrasive component can have a network of interconnected pores. In an example, the porous abrasive component can have a porosity between about 25 and 50 vol%.
In an embodiment, a tool preform can be assembled by stacking a carrier element, a bonding slug, and the abrasive component. The carrier element can be in the form of a ring, a ring section, a plate, or a disc. The carrier element can include heat treatable steel alloys, such as 25CrMo4, 75CrI, C60, or similar steel alloys for carrier elements with thin cross sections or simple construction steel like St 60 or similar for thick carrier elements. The carrier element can have a tensile strength of at least about 600 N/mm . The carrier element can be formed by a variety of metallurgical techniques known in the art. The bonding slug can include a bonding metal having a bonding metal composition. The bonding metal composition can include copper, a copper-tin bronze, a copper-tin-zinc alloy, or any combination thereof. The bonding metal composition can further include titanium, silver, manganese, phosphorus, aluminum, magnesium, or any combination thereof. For example, the bonding metal can have a melting point between about 9000C and about 12000C. In an embodiment, the bonding slug can be formed by cold pressing a powder of the bonding metal. The powder can include particles of individual components or pre-alloyed particles. The particles can have a size of not greater than about 100 microns. Alternatively, the bonding slug may be formed by other metallurgical techniques known in the art.
The tool preform can be heated to a temperature above the melting point of the bonding metal but below the melting point of the metal matrix and the carrier element. For example, the temperature can be between about 9000C and about 12000C. The tool preform can be heated in a reducing atmosphere. Typically, the reducing atmosphere can contain an amount of hydrogen to react with oxygen. The heating can be carried out in a furnace, such as a batch furnace or a tunnel furnace.
In an embodiment, as the bonding metal melts, the liquid bonding metal is drawn into the network of interconnected pores of the abrasive component, such as through capillary action. The bonding metal can infiltrate and substantially fill the network of interconnected pores. The resulting densified abrasive component can be not less than about 96% dense. The amount of bonding metal that infiltrates the abrasive component can be between about 20 wt% and 45 wt% of the densified abrasive component. A portion of the bonding metal may remain between the abrasive component and the carrier element such that a bonding region consisting essentially of the bonding metal is formed between the carrier element and the abrasive component. The bonding region can be an identifiable region distinct from the carrier element and the abrasive component. The bonding region can include at least about 90 wt% bonding metal, such as at least about 95 wt% bonding metal, such as at least about 98 wt% bonding metal. The bonding metal can be continuous throughout the bonding region and the densified abrasive component.
