Abstract: The present invention relates to a bonded abrasive article comprising shaped abrasive particles and a bonding medium comprising a vitreous bond, said shaped abrasive particles each comprising a first side and a second side separated by a thickness t, wherein said first side comprises a first face having a perimeter of a first geometric shape, wherein said thickness t is equal to or smaller than the length of the shortest side-related dimension of the particle, wherein the article exhibits at least on a part of its surface a surface profile comprising at least one surface feature wherein said shaped abrasive particles have a largest dimension of about the same order of magnitude or larger as compared to said surface feature. The present invention also relates to a composition for use of the preparation of a bonded abrasive article, to methods of preparing and using the bonded abrasive article and to methods of grinding and providing a workpiece.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bonded abrasive article comprising specific shaped abrasive particles and a bonding medium comprising a vitreous bond. The present invention also relates to the use of an article according to the present invention in grinding applications, in particular in high performance grinding applications and to the use of an article according to the present invention for abrading a workpiece material particularly a workpiece material selected from steels, non-ferrous metals, and alloys. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for abrading a workpiece, the method comprising frictionally contacting at least a portion of an abrasive article according to the invention with a surface of a workpiece; and moving at least one of the workpiece or the abrasive article to abrade at least a portion of the surface of the workpiece.
