Sheet glass tool
View Patent ↗A sheet glass tool in which many abrasive grains are anchored in an anchoring layer formed on the tool tip, wherein a coolant flow channel is formed between a first abrasive grain and a second abrasive grain that are adjacent to each other.
1. A sheet glass tool comprising a number of abrasive grains each having a grain size of 2 μm or more and 150 μm or less and anchored to an anchoring layer formed at a tool tip, wherein
a coolant flow channel is formed between a first abrasive grain and a second abrasive grain that are adjacent to each other,
65% or more of the surface area of each individual abrasive grain is covered with a brazing material used to form the anchoring layer,
the anchoring layer is formed in a manner such that the thickness thereof is thick in a region in close proximity to the abrasive grains and thinner than the region in close proximity to the abrasive grains in a region spaced apart from the abrasive grains so as to climb up the abrasive grains,
and
when viewed in a flow channel direction of the coolant flow channel, the conditional expression [1] described below is satisfied:
S 1/ S≥ 0.45 [1],
where S is an area of a region enclosed by a first imaginary line that passes through an apex of the first abrasive grain and extends in a thickness direction of the anchoring layer, a second imaginary line that passes through an apex of the second abrasive grain and extends in the thickness direction of the anchoring layer, a third imaginary line that connects the apex of the first abrasive grain and the apex of the second abrasive grain, and a fourth imaginary line that connects a bottom of the first abrasive grain and a bottom of the second abrasive grain, and S1 is an area of a region corresponding to the coolant flow channel.
2. The sheet glass tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the anchoring layer is composed of a plurality of first plated layers in which lower end portions of the abrasive grains are individually embedded, and a second plated layer that covers the first plated layers and extends to the tool tip, and
the lower end portions of the abrasive grains are located above a lower end surface of the first plated layers.
3. The sheet glass tool according to claim 2 , wherein
the sheet glass tool is composed of an increased-diameter portion having a generally constant diameter, a reduced-diameter portion having a generally constant diameter, and a tapered portion for connecting the increased-diameter portion and the reduced-diameter portion, wherein the increased-diameter portion has a larger diameter than the reduced-diameter portion, and
the anchoring layer is formed on a lower end portion of the increased-diameter portion, on the reduced-diameter portion, and on the tapered portion.
4. The sheet glass tool according to claim 2 , wherein
the sheet glass tool is composed of an increased-diameter portion having a constant diameter, a reduced-diameter portion having a chamfered groove, and a tapered portion connecting the increased-diameter portion and the reduced-diameter portion, wherein the increased-diameter portion has a larger diameter than the reduced-diameter portion, and
the anchoring layer is formed on a lower end portion of the increased-diameter portion, on the reduced-diameter portion, and on the tapered portion.
5. The sheet glass tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the sheet glass tool is composed of an increased-diameter portion having a generally constant diameter, a reduced-diameter portion having a generally constant diameter, and a tapered portion for connecting the increased-diameter portion and the reduced-diameter portion, wherein the increased-diameter portion has a larger diameter than the reduced-diameter portion, and
the anchoring layer is formed on a lower end portion of the increased-diameter portion, on the reduced-diameter portion, and on the tapered portion.
6. The sheet glass tool according to claim 1 , wherein
the sheet glass tool is composed of an increased-diameter portion having a constant diameter, a reduced-diameter portion having a chamfered groove, and a tapered portion connecting the increased-diameter portion and the reduced-diameter portion, wherein the increased-diameter portion has a larger diameter than the reduced-diameter portion, and
the anchoring layer is formed on a lower end portion of the increased-diameter portion, on the reduced-diameter portion, and on the tapered portion.
7. A sheet glass tool comprising a number of abrasive grains each having a grain size of 2 μm or more and 150 μm or less and anchored to an anchoring layer formed at a tool tip, wherein
the anchoring layer is composed of a plurality of first plated layers in which lower end portions of the abrasive grains are individually embedded, and a second plated layer that covers the first plated layers and extends to the tool tip,
the lower end portions of the abrasive grains are located above a lower end surface of the first plated layers,
the second plated layer has a surface formed into a step shape in which a region in close proximity to the abrasive grains is at a higher level and a region spaced apart from the abrasive grains is at a lower level than the region in close proximity to the abrasive grains,
a coolant flow channel is formed between a first abrasive grain and a second abrasive grain that are adjacent to each other,
65% or more of the surface area of each individual abrasive grain is covered with the anchoring layer, and
when viewed in a flow channel direction of the coolant flow channel, the conditional expression [1] described below is satisfied:
S 1/ S≥ 0.35 [1],
where S is an area of a region enclosed by a first imaginary line that passes through an apex of the first abrasive grain and extends in a thickness direction of the anchoring layer, a second imaginary line that passes through an apex of the second abrasive grain and extends in the thickness direction of the anchoring layer, a third imaginary line that connects the apex of the first abrasive grain and the apex of the second abrasive grain, and a fourth imaginary line that connects a bottom of the first abrasive grain and a bottom of the second abrasive grain, and S1 is an area of a region corresponding to the coolant flow channel.
