Abstract: Abrasive wheel using sol gel alumina particles and silicon carbide abrasive particles in a high elastic modulus bond containing an inorganic filler.

Abstract: An improved abrasive product such as a grinding wheel is disclosed. The abrasive product contains an active filler mixture of tin, FeS.sub.2, and K.sub.2 SO.sub.4, which mixture improves the grinding quality and versatility of the abrasive product.

Abstract: A grinding wheel is described which is bonded with a phenol formaldehyde resin based bond containing hexamethylenetetramine as the curing agent. The wheels are made by first wetting the abrasive with furfural in varying quantities relative to the amount of hexamethylenetetramine in the phenol formaldehyde resin. Different amounts of the curing agent require different specific amounts of furfural to produce optimum properties in the finished grinding wheel.

Abstract: A resinoid bonded abrasive article in which the resinoid bond includes 5-80% by volume of an improved active filler or grinding aid. The active filler is a mixture of iron pyrites, potassium sulfate and an alkali haloferrate; the alkali haloferrate having the formula A.sub.x Fe.sub.y ++ Fe.sub.z +++ H.sub.x+2y+3z where A is an alkali metal, H is a halogen, x is a number from 1 to 10, y is a number from 0 to 1, z is a number from 0 to 1, and y and z are not zero at the same time. The fillers are present in the bond in a ratio of alkali-haloferrate-to-pyrites-to-potassium sulfate of 0.5:1:0.5.
