As shown, the shaped abrasive particle 900 may include a body 901 that has a generally cube-like shape. It will be appreciated that the shaped abrasive particle may be formed to have other polyhedral shapes. The body 901 may have a first end face 902 and a second end face 904, a first lateral face 906 extending between the first end face 902 and the second end face 904, a second lateral face 908 extending between the first end face 902 and the second end face 904.

As shown, the first end face 902 and the second end face 904 can be parallel to each other and separated by the lateral faces 906, 908, 910, and 912, giving the body a cube-like structure. However, in a particular aspect, the first end face 902 can be rotated with respect to the second end face 904 to establish a twist angle 914. The twist of the body 901 can be along one or more axes and define particular types of twist angles. For example, as illustrated in a top-down view of the body in FIG. 10 looking down the longitudinal axis 980 defining a length of the body 901 on the end face 902 parallel to a plane defined by the lateral axis 981 extending along a dimension of width of the body 901 and the vertical axis 982 extending along a dimension of height of the body 901. According to one embodiment, the body 901 can have a longitudinal twist angle 914 defining a twist in the body 901 about the longitudinal axis such that the end faces 902 and 904 are rotated relative to each other. The twist angle 914, as illustrated in FIG. 10 can be measured as the angle between a tangent of a first edge 922 and a second edge 924, wherein the first edge 922 and second edge 924 are joined by and share a common edge 926 extending longitudinally between two of the lateral faces (910 and 912).

As shown, the shaped abrasive particle 1100 may include a body 1101 having a generally pyramid shaped with a generally triangle shaped bottom face 1102. The body can further include sides 1116, 1117, and 1118 connected to each other and the bottom face 1102. It will be appreciated that while the body 1101 is illustrated as having a pyramidal polyhedral shape, other shapes are possible, as described herein/ According to one embodiment, the shaped abrasive particle 1100 may be formed with a hole 1104 (i.e., and opening) that can extend through at least a portion of the body 1101, and more particularly may extend through an entire volume of the body 1101. In a particular aspect, the hole 1104 may define a central axis 1106 that passes through a center of the hole 1104. Further, the shaped abrasive particle 1100 may also define a central axis 1108 that passes through a center 1130 of the shaped abrasive particle 1100. It may be appreciated that the hole 1104 may be formed in the shaped abrasive particle 1100 such that the central axis 1106 of the hole 1104 is spaced apart from the central axis 1108 by a distance 1110. As such, a center of mass of the shaped abrasive particle 1100 may be moved below the geometric midpoint 1130 of the shaped abrasive particle 1100, wherein the geometric midpoint 1130 can be defined by the intersection of a longitudinal axis 1109, vertical axis 1111, and the central axis (i.e., lateral axis) 1108.

In particular instances, the center of mass may be displaced from the geometric midpoint 1130 such that the center of mass is closer to a base, e.g., the bottom face 1102, of the body 1101, than a top of the body 1101 when the shaped abrasive particle 1100 is in an upright orientation as shown in FIG. 11.
In another embodiment, the center of mass may be displaced from the geometric midpoint 1130 by a distance that is at least about 0.05 the width (w) along a lateral axis 1108 of the of the body 1101 defining the width. In another aspect, the center of mass may be displaced from the geometric midpoint 1130 by a distance of at least about 0.1(w), such as at least about 0.15(w), at least about 0.18(w), at least about 0.2(w), at least about 0.22(w), at least about 0.25(w), at least about 0.27(w), at least about 0.3(w), or even at least about 0.35(w).

In another embodiment, the center of mass may be displaced from the geometric midpoint 1130 along the longitudinal axis 1109 by a distance (DO of at least about 0.05 the length (1) of the body 1101. According to a particular embodiment, the center of mass may be displaced from the geometric midpoint by a distance of at least about 0.1(1), such as at least about 0.15(1), at least about 0.18(1), at least about 0.2(1), at least about 0.25(1), at least about 0.3(1), at least about 0.35(1), or even at least about 0.38(1).

In one non- limiting embodiment, the average difference in height can be not greater than about 300 microns, such as not greater than about 250 microns, not greater than about 220 microns, or even not greater than about 180 microns. It will be appreciated that the average difference in height can be within a range between any of the minimum and maximum values noted above.
Moreover, the shaped abrasive particles herein, including for example the particle of FIGs. 13 and 14, can have a profile ratio of average difference in height [hl-h2] to profile length (lp) of the shaped abrasive particle, defined as [(hl-h2)/(lp)] of at least about 0.04. It will be appreciated that the profile length of the body can be a length of the scan across the body used to generate the data of hi and h2 between opposite ends of the body. Moreover, the profile length may be an average profile length calculated from a sample of multiple particles that are measured. In certain instances, the profile length (lp) can be the same as the width as described in embodiments herein. According to a particular embodiment, the profile ratio can be at least about 0.05, at least about 0.06, at least about 0.07, at least about 0.08, or even at least about 0.09.

Moreover, the shaped abrasive particles of the embodiments herein, including for example, the body 1301 of the particle of FIGs. 13 and 14 can have a bottom surface 1304 defining a bottom area (Ab). In particular instances the bottom surface 1304 can be the largest surface of the body 1301. The bottom surface can have a surface area defined as the bottom area (Ab) that is greater than the surface area of the upper surface 1303. Additionally, the body 1301 can have a cross-sectional midpoint area (Am) defining an area of a plane perpendicular to the bottom area and extending through a midpoint 1381 of the particle. In certain instances, the body 1301 can have an area ratio of bottom area to midpoint area (Ab/Am) of not greater than about 6. In more particular instances, the area ratio can be not greater than about 5.5, such as not greater than about 5, not greater than about 4.5, not greater than about 4, not greater than about 3.5, or even not greater than about 3. Still, in one non-limiting embodiment, the area ratio may be at least about 1.1, such as at least about 1.3, or even at least about 1.8. It will be appreciated that the area ratio can be within a range between any of the minimum and maximum values noted above.
In accordance with one embodiment, the shaped abrasive particles of the embodiments herein, including for example, the particle of FIGs. 13 and 14 can have a normalized height difference of at least about 40.

In another embodiment, the shaped abrasive particles herein, including for example, the particle of FIGs. 13 and 14 can have a height variation. Without wishing to be tied to a particular theory, it is thought that a certain height variation between shaped abrasive particles, can improve a variety of cutting surfaces, and may improve grinding performance of an abrasive article incorporating the shaped abrasive particles herein. The height variation can be calculated as the standard deviation of height difference for a sample of shaped abrasive particles. In one particular embodiment, the height variation of a sample can be at least about 20. For other embodiments, the height variation can be greater, such as at least about 22, at least about 24, at least about 26, at least about 28, at least about 30, at least about 32, or even at least about 34. Still, in one non-limiting embodiment, the height variation may be not greater than about 180, such as not greater than about 150, or even not greater than about 120.

The ellipsoidal region 1317 can be defined by a trench region 1318 that can extend around the upper surface 1303 and define the ellipsoidal region 1317. The ellipsoidal region 1317 can encompass the midpoint 1381. Moreover, it is thought that the ellipsoidal region 1317 defined in the upper surface can be an artifact of the forming process, and may be formed as a result of the stresses imposed on the mixture during formation of the shaped abrasive particles according to the methods described herein.
Moreover, the rake angle described in accordance with other embodiments herein can be applicable to the body 1301. Likewise, all other features described herein, such as the contours of side surfaces, upper surfaces, and bottom surfaces, the upright orientation probability, primary aspect ratio, secondary aspect ratio, tertiary aspect ratio, and composition, can be applicable to the exemplary shaped abrasive particle illustrated in FIGs. 13 and 14. While the foregoing features of height difference, height variation, and normalized height difference have been described in relation to the abrasive particle of FIGs. 13 and 14, it will be appreciated that such features can apply to any other shaped abrasive particles described herein, including for example, abrasive particles having a substantially trapezoidal two-dimensional shape.

It will be appreciated that the amount of dopant material within the body of the shaped abrasive particle can be within a range between any of the minimum or maximum percentages noted above.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 is formed from a mixture having the following composition:
SiC 250g
A1203 7.5g
PVA soln(21%)
PEG400
TEA 1.75g
Water 205g
After mixing, the materials of the Example 1 composition are sintered at about
1910° C under a hot pressure process to form an article having greater than about 98% theoretical density. Then, article is crushed, sieved, and incorporated into a resin bond material to form abrasive segments representing bonded abrasive articles. The abrasive segments of Example 1 are tested against a wet titanium alloy workpiece and a dry white cast iron workpiece placed on a 2-axis hydraulic surface grinding machine sold by Okamoto Corporation as model 6· 18 DX. The table speed of the grinder is 60 feet/minute at an infeed (i.e., cut depth) of about 0.0005 inches for the titanium alloy workpiece and an infeed of about 0.0015 inches for the white cast iron workpiece. Abrasive segments of Example 1 are tested against the state of the art abrasives. The results of the testing of Example 1 and the state of the art abrasives are shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16.
FIG. 15 includes a bar chart 1500 that illustrates a G-ratio for various bonded abrasive grinding wheels, including an Example 1 grinding wheel. A first bonded abrasive grinding wheel includes black silicon carbide (37C) particles contained within a bond material. A second bonded abrasive grinding wheel includes hot pressed silicon carbide (HP-SiC) particles contained within the bond material. A third bonded abrasive grinding wheel includes liquid phase sintered silicon carbide (LPS- SiC) particles, according to Example 1, contained within the bond material. A fourth bonded abrasive grinding wheel includes LPS-SiC particles, according to Example 1, contained within the bond material. A fifth bonded abrasive wheel includes standard alumina particles contained within the bond material.
As shown, the first bonded abrasive wheel has a G-ratio of about 100. The second bonded abrasive wheel has a G-ratio of about 122.80. The third bonded abrasive wheel has a G-ratio of about 336.80. The fourth bonded abrasive wheel has a G-ratio of about 327.20. Finally, the fifth bonded abrasive wheel has a G-ratio of about 220.40.
FIG. 16 includes a bar chart 1600 that illustrates a G-ratio for various bonded abrasive grinding wheels used to grind a white cast iron. The first bonded abrasive grinding wheel included black silicon carbide (37C) particles contained within a bond material. The second bonded abrasive grinding wheel included hot pressed silicon carbide (HP-SiC) particles contained within the bond material. The third bonded abrasive grinding wheel included liquid phase sintered silicon carbide (LPS-SiC) particles, according to Example 1, contained within the bond material. The fourth bonded abrasive grinding wheel included LPS-SiC particles, according to Example 1, contained within the bond material. The fifth bonded abrasive wheel can include standard alumina particles contained within the bond material. As shown, the first bonded abrasive wheel included a G-ratio of about 100. The second bonded abrasive wheel included a G-ratio of about 120.40. The third bonded abrasive wheel included a G-ratio of about 583.54. The fourth bonded abrasive wheel included a G-ratio of about 641.79. Finally, the fifth bonded abrasive wheel can include a G-ratio of about 539.18.
The grinding wheels for Example 1 and the fourth bonded abrasive wheel also including liquid phase sintered silicon carbide abrasive grains demonstrate improved grinding performance when compared to that of the comparative wheels. In particular, with respect to the grinding of a titanium alloy workpiece, the relative performance ratios of the abrasive wheels having liquid phase sintered silicon carbide abrasive particles have an improvement of almost 3 times that of the wheel including solid state silicon carbide abrasives. Furthermore, with respect to the grinding of a white cast iron workpiece, the relative performance ratios of the abrasive wheels having liquid phase sintered silicon carbide abrasive grains have an almost 5 times improvement over the solid state silicon carbide abrasive grains. The abrasive wheels having liquid phase sintered silicon carbide abrasive particles demonstrate improvement over abrasive wheels having other abrasive content, such as the alumina grains of the fifth wheel and the black silicon carbide grains of the first wheel, when grinding the titanium workpiece or the white cast iron workpiece. The foregoing embodiments are directed to abrasive grains that represent a departure from the state-of-the-art. In particular, it is typically expected that solid state silicon carbide abrasive grains will outperform liquid phase sintered silicon carbide abrasive grains because the solid state grains have an increased hardness and density with respect to the liquid phase sintered silicon carbide abrasive grains.
However, as demonstrated in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, the liquid phase sintered silicon carbide abrasive grains outperform the solid state silicon carbide grains. Without being bound to a particular theory, the improved performance of the liquid phase sintered silicon carbide abrasive grains can be due to the solid state silicon carbide abrasive grains being too hard and breaking as larger pieces as opposed to the liquid phase sintered silicon carbide abrasive grains that break into smaller pieces along the grain boundaries. For example, as seen in FIG. 3, the grain boundaries of the etched liquid phase sintered silicon carbide abrasive particle are more clearly defined than the grain boundaries of the etched solid state silicon carbide abrasive particles of FIG. 5. Accordingly, as the liquid phase sintered silicon carbide abrasive grains are used during grinding, less material is removed from the abrasive wheel as opposed to the larger amounts of abrasive material being removed from the wheels having solid state silicon carbide grains.
