20090275274 | Polishing Pad Conditioner - The invention provides a polishing pad conditioner that enables stabilization of brazing metal melting point, minimization of abrasive grain detachment by uniformizing and stabilizing abrasive grain brazing condition, and enhancement of flatness by minimizing thermal deformation of the metal support. The polishing pad conditioner is fabricated by brazing multiple abrasive grains to the surface of a metal support with brazing metal, wherein the composition of the brazing metal expressed in mass % is such that 70%≦Ni+Fe≦90% (provided that 0≦Fe/(Ni+Fe)≦0.4), 1%≦Cr≦25%, 2%≦Si+B≦15% (provided that 0≦B/(Si+B)≦0.8), and 0.1%≦P≦8%. | 11-05-2009 |
20100291844 | DRESSER FOR ABRASIVE CLOTH - The invention provides a dresser for an abrasive cloth, which has a smaller abrasive grain diameter than the conventional dresser and has an abrasive grain spacing regulated in a predetermined range depending upon the abrasive grain diameter to simultaneously meet a high level of pad grinding power and a pad flatness and, at the same time, is less likely to cause dropout of abrasive grains. The dresser comprises a plurality of abrasive grains fixed as a single layer on a surface of a metallic support material. The dresser is characterized in that the metallic support material on its surface on which the abrasive grains are fixed has a convex shape, the difference in height between the end part and the central port on the surface is not less than 3 μm and not more than 40 μm, and the center-to-center spacing between at least one set of adjacent grains is d≦L<2d wherein d represents the diameter of the abrasive grains; L represents the center-to-center spacing between adjacent abrasive grains. The diameter (d) of the abrasive grains is preferably 3 μm≦d<100 μm. | 11-18-2010 |
20140080394 | BEVELING GRINDSTONE - Provided is a beveling grindstone in which diamond abrasive grains etc. are prevented from falling off even after long-term grinding to allow long-term use of the grindstone and in which chipping that occurs during beveling of a hard and brittle material and the occurrence of cracking in the ground material are suppressed. The beveling grindstone is used to bevel the outer circumferential edge of a hard and brittle material and includes: a core having a groove portion formed on the outer circumferential surface thereof with which the outer circumferential edge of the hard and brittle material is brought into contact; and an abrasive grain layer which is formed in the groove portion and to which abrasive grains are secured by brazing. The abrasive grains have an average grain diameter of #4000 to #270. | 03-20-2014 |
