  • Large Diameter Cutting Tool
    Publication number: 20140073230
    Abstract: An abrasive cutting tool includes a body in a shape of a large diameter disk having an outer diameter of at least about 60 centimeters. The body has an aspect ratio defined as a ratio (D:T) between the outer diameter to an axial thickness of the body of at least about 10:1. The body includes an abrasive portion having a bond material and abrasive particles contained within the bond material. The abrasive portion also includes a first filler having iron and sulfur with an average particle size of not greater than about 40 microns. The body also includes a reinforcing member and a Thermal Adhesion Factor (TAF) of at least about 30%.
