Abstract: An abrasive article has an abrasive portion with an organic bond and abrasive particles. The abrasive article has a non-abrasive portion (NAP) mounted to the abrasive portion. The NAP includes molding compound (MC) having chopped strand fibers (CSF). The CSF can be coated with a thermoplastic coating having a loss on ignition (LOI) of at least about 2.4 wt %, and the NAP having no abrasive particles. The NAP can include an MC having no abrasive particles with a MOHS scale hardness of at least about 9. The NAP may include CSF coated with a primary coating and a secondary coating on the primary coating. The NAP may have an outer diameter that is at least half of but not greater than an outer diameter of the abrasive article.

Abstract: An abrasive article may include an abrasive body having a grinding layer, where the grinding layer may include a bond and abrasive particles contained within the bond. The abrasive body also may include a volumetric ratio GLVb/GLVap of at least about 0.4, where GLVb is a volume percent of bond for a total volume of the grinding layer and GLVap is a volume percent of abrasive particles for a total volume of the grinding layer. The abrasive particles may include seeded sol-gel ceramic and may have an average particle size of at least about 600 microns. In addition, the abrasive particles may include a coupling agent that may include an organic material with a silane functional group. Prior to formation of the abrasive article, the abrasive particles may be coated by the coupling agent at a ratio ACOA/AAB of at least about 0.1, where CCOA is the amount of coupling agent in grams in a pre-formation mixture and AAB is the amount of abrasive particles in pounds (lbs) in the pre-formation mixture.
