Abstract

Abstract The invention is a phenol-formaldehyde resin bonded grinding wheel which has grinding characteristics like that of shellac bonded grinding wheels. This soft, mild grinding action results from the basic phenol-formaldehyde resin initially containing from 0.5 to 2.5% by weight of hexamethylenetetramine, when used in conjunction with a material such as liquid one-stage phenol-formaldehyde resin, or furfural as the bond pick-up agent.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 98 words
A bonded abrasive product comprising abrasive grain and a thermoset polymeric bond, wherein the improvement comprises: A thermoset polymeric bond based on the reaction product of a phenol and an aldehyde in a molar ratio of said phenol to said aldehyde of greater than 1, and wherein said reaction product is cured by a methylene group donor, said donor being present in sufficient quantity so as to provide from 0.3 to less than 1.2% by weight of methylene groups, based on the weight of said methylene group donor and said reaction product of said phenol and said aldehyde.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 98 words
A bonded abrasive product comprising abrasive grain and a thermoset polymeric bond, wherein the improvement comprises: A thermoset polymeric bond based on the reaction product of a phenol and an aldehyde in a molar ratio of said phenol to said aldehyde of greater than 1, and wherein said reaction product is cured by a methylene group donor, said donor being present in sufficient quantity so as to provide from 0.3 to less than 1.2% by weight of methylene groups, based on the weight of said methylene group donor and said reaction product of said phenol and said aldehyde.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 31 words
The abrasive product of claim 1 wherein said methylene group donor is one selected from the group consisting of hexamethylenetetramine, an aldehyde, trimethylol phenol, one stage phenol-aldehyde resin, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 35 words
The abrasive product of claim 2 including a reactive liquid pick-up agent for said bond, the liquid pick-up agent being selected from the group consisting of furfuraldehyde, liquid one stage phenol-formaldehyde resin, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 75 words
An abrasive product comprising abrasive grain, a reactive liquid bond pick-up agent, and a thermoset polymeric bond, wherein the improvement comprises: a thermoset polymeric bond based on the reaction product of phenol and an aldehyde in a molar ratio of phenol to aldehyde greater than 1, and wherein said reaction product is cured with an amount of hexamethylenetetramine of from 0.5 to less than 2% of the combined weight of hexamethylenetetramine and phenol-aldehyde reaction product.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 75 words
An abrasive product comprising abrasive grain, a reactive liquid bond pick-up agent, and a thermoset polymeric bond, wherein the improvement comprises: a thermoset polymeric bond based on the reaction product of phenol and an aldehyde in a molar ratio of phenol to aldehyde greater than 1, and wherein said reaction product is cured with an amount of hexamethylenetetramine of from 0.5 to less than 2% of the combined weight of hexamethylenetetramine and phenol-aldehyde reaction product.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 39 words
The abrasive product of claim 4 wherein said bond pick-up agent is a liquid phenol-aldehyde resin based on the reaction product of phenol and an aldehyde in a molar ratio of aldehyde to phenol equal to at least 1.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 14 words
The abrasive product of claim 4 wherein said bond pick-up agent is an aldehyde.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 20 words
The abrasive product of claim 4 wherein said thermoset polymeric bond includes from 0% to 30% by weight or filler.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 119 words
An abrasive product consisting essentially of from 44 to 60% by volume of abrasive, 2 to 56% by volume of bond, and 0 to 38% by volume of pores; said bond including 5 to 30% by weight of a liquid bond pick-up agent, 0 to 30% by weight of filler 40 to 90% by weight of a thermoset polymeric bond, wherein the improvement comprises: a thermoset polymeric bond based on the reaction product of a phenol and formaldehyde in a molar ration of said phenol to said formaldehyde greater than 1, and wherein said reaction product is cured with from 1 to less than 2% hexamethylenetetramine, based on the combined weight of said phenol-formaldehyde reaction product and said hexamethylenetetramine.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 119 words
An abrasive product consisting essentially of from 44 to 60% by volume of abrasive, 2 to 56% by volume of bond, and 0 to 38% by volume of pores; said bond including 5 to 30% by weight of a liquid bond pick-up agent, 0 to 30% by weight of filler 40 to 90% by weight of a thermoset polymeric bond, wherein the improvement comprises: a thermoset polymeric bond based on the reaction product of a phenol and formaldehyde in a molar ration of said phenol to said formaldehyde greater than 1, and wherein said reaction product is cured with from 1 to less than 2% hexamethylenetetramine, based on the combined weight of said phenol-formaldehyde reaction product and said hexamethylenetetramine.
