Abstract: An abrasive article includes abrasive particles contained within a hybrid bond that may include a metal bond material and an organic bond material, the article having an average thickness of 250 microns or less and the metal bond material including a solid solution phase and an intermetallic phase distinct from the solid solution phase.

Abstract: An abrasive tool, suitable for cutting, slotting, grinding and polishing hard materials, such as ceramics, metals, and composites thereof, and methods for making same. The tool includes a plurality of pores positioned in an abrasive region adjacent an outer circumference of the disk. The pores have any predetermined shape, size and position relative to one another.

Abstract: Abrasive tools and techniques are disclosed that can cut hard, brittle materials to relatively precise dimensions. The tools, which can include a hybrid bond of metal or metal alloy and a resin matrix together with fine abrasive grits, can be employed, for example, in mirror finish cutting applications, thereby enabling ‘1×’ or ‘single-pass’ multi-function abrasive processes. The specific selection of resin and metal or metal alloy types is such that the tool is sufficiently brittle for the purpose of manufacture and durability, but ductile enough to withstand the grinding and handling stresses (an exemplary hybrid bond includes bronze and polyimide). Numerous tool types and applications will be apparent in light of this disclosure, including abrasive products for electronic device manufacturing such as thin 1A8 blades (single blade or multi-blade configuration).

Abstract: An abrasive cutting blade is provided to achieve high-quality surface finishes at high feed rates. The blade is fabricated by electroplating fine abrasive onto a steel cathode disc to form a first layer, followed by electroplating a second layer of coarser abrasive onto the first layer. A third layer of fine abrasive is then electroplated onto the second layer. The resulting composite is then removed from the cathode disc to form a multi-grit, multi-layer, hub-less blade.

Abstract: An abrasive wheel is used to separate individual laminated chips from a strip by cutting through the copper bridging elements. The abrasive wheel is made up of abrasive particles bonded in a matrix having a high glass transition temperature and a cutting edge having a maximum thickness of the order of 350 micron, whereby the cut is substantially straight and free of smears and burrs.

Abstract: A refractory brick and system of bricks for constructing flue walls of a ring furnace. The brick and the bricks of the system have opposed sides and upper and lower surfaces when disposed in a vertical wall structure, with one of the surfaces having at least one crosswise groove while the other surface has a corresponding crosswise tongue for seating in the groove of an adjacent brick, the tongues and grooves terminating short of the ends or sides of the brick when the bricks are disposed in a vertical wall structure. The crosswise tongues and grooves have rounded configurations sized to mate with bricks having the same tongue and groove configurations when a plurality of such bricks are stacked one upon the other in constructing a vertical wall.

Abstract: A cutting wheel, especially suitable for dicing silicon wafers and the like, which has a high degree of stiffness as a result of the wheel being a monolith with a thick inner section and thin outer or cutting section.

Abstract: The invention includes process and apparatus for removing pollutants from a gas including fluidizing a bed of particles in a container, introducing a gas containing pollutant into the bed, removing the pollutant through deposition on the particles, controlling temperatures in the container by injecting coolant fluid through a coolant nozzle, and reducing clogging or fouling on the coolant nozzle. The process and apparatus includes controlling temperatures in the container within narrowly specified ranges of temperatures and providing a constant pressure of coolant fluid and constant pressure of purge gas to the coolant nozzle such that interchangeable selection made between the coolant fluid and purge gas in a time period sufficiently short provides accurate temperature control and reduces clogging or fouling on the coolant nozzle.
