Abstract
A multilayer abrading tool is produced by first providing a tool substrate with a structured abrading surface. An abrasive grit coating is provided by mixing a temporary binder, an abrasive grit material and an infiltrant powder material. This coating is then applied to the structured surface. The tool is then heated to drive off the binder and to cause infiltration of the infiltrant in the abrasive grit to form a multilayer of diamond grit suspended in a braze matrix which is attached to the structured surface of the tool substrate.
Claims2
An abrading tool having a "multilayer abrasive grit matrix surface layer" produced without a mold, said abrading tool comprising:
- an abrading tool substrate, having a structured abrading surface, and a multilayer of abrasive particles attached thereto in substantially an even thickness coating, said multilayer of abrasive particles being diamond grit suspended in an infiltrant matrix.
