Abstract

Abstract A dressing tool for grinding wheels includes a base body and a diamond coat which is formed of diamond grains embedded in a metallic bond. The diamond grains are artificially roughened so that their surface area is significantly enlarged and are arranged in the metallic bond with such density that the majority of grains are in direct contact with adjacent grains.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 23
Claim 1
Independent Claim 92 words
In a dressing tool for grinding wheels, comprising a base body and a diamond coat on said base body, said diamond coat including diamond grains held in a metallic bond, the improvement comprising said diamond grains being artificially roughened so that a surface area of said grains is enlarged by a factor of at least two as compared to a natural surface of diamond grains, said diamond grains being arranged in said coat with such a density that the majority of said diamond grains are in direct contact with adjacent diamond grains.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 92 words
In a dressing tool for grinding wheels, comprising a base body and a diamond coat on said base body, said diamond coat including diamond grains held in a metallic bond, the improvement comprising said diamond grains being artificially roughened so that a surface area of said grains is enlarged by a factor of at least two as compared to a natural surface of diamond grains, said diamond grains being arranged in said coat with such a density that the majority of said diamond grains are in direct contact with adjacent diamond grains.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
The dressing tool as defined in claim 2, wherein said indentations are formed by etching with metal.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
The dressing tool as defined in claim 1, wherein said metallic bond is formed of an electro-plated metal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 14 words
The dressing tool as defined in claim 4, wherein said electro-plated metal is nickel.

Claim 10
Dependent Claim 19 words
The dressing tool as defined in claim 1, wherein said diamond grains are arranged in a single plane layer.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 54 words
The dressing tool as defined in claim 1, wherein said diamond grains are arranged on top of one another to form a plurality of layers, the diamond grains of one layer engaging between the diamond grains of another layer and being in direct contact with grains lying alongside, below and above said one layer.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 17 words
The dressing tool as defined in claim 1, wherein said diamond grains are of different grain sizes.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 15 words
