Abstract
Abstract Processes for making coated cubic boron nitride abrasive particles for use in grinding wheels are provided having thick multilayer metal coatings which improve retention of the particles within abrasive tools. The metal coatings comprise a primary metal layer chemically bonded to the surface of the abrasive particles and a secondary layer which forms the bulk of the coating. Coated CBN abrasive particles, abrasive tools made therefrom and processes for their production are also provided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A process for the preparation of coated-cubic boron nitride (CBN) abrasive for use in abrasive tools, said process comprising applying a metal coating to CBN abrasive particles of at least one primary metal layer and at least one secondary metal layer, wherein the amount of metal coating is 60-95 wt % of the original CBN abrasive particles before coating, said primary metal layer comprises titanium applied by salt bath deposition and said secondary metal layer comprises nickel/phosphorous applied by electrolyses deposition, said electrolyses deposition being carried out by depositing from about 5 to about 20 layers of electrolessly deposited nickel wherein the final wt % of nickel/phosphorous is from 60-75% of the total particle weight with a phosphorous content between 6 and 11%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
