  • Patent number: 10323165
    Abstract: An agglomerate abrasive grain includes a mixture of individual abrasive grains and hollow bodies, wherein the abrasive grains and the hollow bodies are held together via a binding matrix of aluminosilicate and alkali silicate, and the agglomerate abrasive grain has an open porosity and a closed porosity in each case ranging from 5% by volume to 40% by volume, wherein the total porosity of the agglomerate abrasive grain is less than 50% by volume.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 18, 2019
    Assignee: ImerTech SAS
    Inventors: Knuth Gebhardt, Georg Paul Zylka
  • Patent number: 9102858
    Abstract: The present invention relates to abrasive grain agglomerates composed of fine-particle primary abrasive grains which are held together by means of a binder based on an aluminosilicate having a molar ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 of from 1:2 to 1:20. The particular advantage of these abrasive grain agglomerates is that the binder cures fully at below 450° C., preferably below 400° C., to form abrasive grain agglomerates having an extraordinarily high strength.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 1, 2009
    Date of Patent: August 11, 2015

  • Patent number: 9005323
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are abrasive grains based on zirconia alumina melted in an electric arc furnace, comprising a content of 52 to 62 wt % Al203 and 35 to 45 wt % ZrO2, wherein the high-temperature phases of the zirconia are stabilized by a combination of reduced Ti compounds and yttrium oxide.

  • Patent number: 8864862
    Abstract: The present invention relates to abrasive grains, which are coated with a micro-particle inorganic powder and a binder, consisting of the group of conventional abrasive grains as well as the group of the “superabrasives”, wherein the binder comprises an aluminosilicate with a molar ratio of Al2O3 to SiO2 of 1:2 to 1:20 as well as at least one complex alkaline fluoride. The particular advantage of this coating is that the binder can already be completely hardened at below 400° C. The invention also relates to a method for producing such abrasive grains as well as to the use thereof for producing abrasives.
