  • Publication number: 20210138610
    Abstract: A bonded abrasive article can include a body including a bond material, abrasive particles contained within the bond material, and pores contained within the body. At least a portion of the pores of the body can include a coating. In one aspect, the coating can be a poly(p-xylylene) polymer applied via vapor deposition. The coated abrasive body can maintain a high permeability and pore volume after coating, and the coating can provide an increase in flexural strength and corrosion resistance to the abrasive article, thereby greatly enhancing its life time.
    Type: Application
