Metal-bonded grinding tool
View Patent ↗A metal-bonded grinding tool including a base and abrasive grains bonded to the base by means of a metal bond matrix containing a Cu alloy as a main component. A content of at least one of an alloy phase, a mixed phase, and an intermetallic compound of Zr and Ti in the metal bond matrix is in a range of 3.8 to 19.2 wt %.
1. A metal-bonded grinding tool comprising:
a base; and
abrasive grains bonded to said base by means of a metal bond matrix, said metal bond matrix consisting essentially of:
a Cu alloy as a main component;
zirconium; and
titanium;
said zirconium and said titanium being present as one of an alloy phase, a mixed phase, and an intermetallic compound,
and wherein a content of said at least one of an alloy phase, a mixed phase, and an intermetallic compound of Zr and Ti in said metal bond matrix is in a range of 3.8 to 19.2 wt %.
2. A metal-bonded grinding tool according to claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of Ti to Zr is in a range of 0.5 to 2.0.
3. A metal-bonded grinding tool according to claim 1 , wherein said Cu alloy is selected from a group consisting of a bronze containing 10 to 33 wt % of Sn, a brass containing 5 to 20 wt % of Zn, and an aluminum bronze containing 5 to 20 wt % of Al.
4. A metal-bonded grinding tool according to claim 1 , wherein said abrasive grains are abrasive grains of a material selected from a group consisting of diamond, cubic boron nitride, silicon carbide, and cemented carbide.
5. A metal-bonded grinding tool, comprising:
a base; and
abrasive grains bonded to said base by means of a metal bond matrix containing a Cu alloy as a main component;
wherein said metal bond matrix contains at least one of an alloy phase, a mixed phase, and an intermetallic compound of Zr and Ti,
wherein the content of said at least one of an alloy phase, a mixed phase, and an intermetallic compound of Zr and Ti in said metal bond matrix is in a range of 6.4 to 14.1 wt %.
