The invention also consists of certain new and orginal features of construction and a combination of parts hereinafter set forth as claimed.
The nature of the invention, as to its objects and advantages, the mode of its operation and the manner of its organization, may be better understood by referring to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing forming a part thereof which shows a fragment or portion of the article of manufacture -comprising this invention.
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view of an article of manufacture embodying the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of another modified form of construction.
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of another modified form of construction.
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view of yet another modified form of the invention.
In FIG. 1 is shown an article of -manufacture made of a plurality `of components and referred to by the general notation 1t). The article 1t) is shown as having a base 12 against which are secured a multitude of particles, chips or bits 16 which are retained by a layer 14 of adhesive material such as a plastic binder or resin coating or forming a portion of the base 12. The particles 16 may be of any suitable shape and possess any predetermined physical characteristic depending on the intended use of the article 10. For example, if the article 10 is to be utilized for abrading purposes, the particles 16 may -comprise chips or crystals of abrasive material such as any suitable cutting grit. The particles 16 may comprise such materials as silicon carbide, tungsten carbide,
diamond particles or dust, so called Carborundum or even Y crystals of sand or other abrasive material. The conventional abrasive cloth or paper containing such abrasive bits generally comprises in addition to the cloth or paper base, an adhesive provided as a thin coating or layer on the surface thereof and the particles or bits secured against or embedded in said adhesive. As such, the particles frequently are easily torn off or otherwise removed from the base during use of the material.
To improve the retention of the bits or particles 16 in the binder 14 and against the base 12, I provide a plurality of filaments or fibers which are adhesively bonded to the assembly 10 by means of the adhesive layer 14 and also preferably to those of the bits or particle 16 which they make surface contact with. In FIG. 1, the filaments 18 are shown as comprising a mesh-like array 17 of crossed filaments consisting of longitudinal filaments of fibers 18 and lateral filaments or fibers 19 woven into a cloth or provided as a matte through the openings of which protrude portions of each of the bits 16. However a random array of unjoined filaments, fibers, wires or whiskers may also be provided which criss-cross throughout the resinous binding material 14 with at least one element making contact with each of .the bits or particles 16 and adhesively bonded thereto so as to serve as a means for anchoring the bit with greater tenacity within or against the binding layer for material or resin such as an epoxy, polyester, polyamide, polycarbonate, urea, or any of the known synthetic plastic materials having the desired physical and chemical characteristics. As stated the adhesive layer 14 may also comprise a portion of the base as in FIG. 3 or all of the base 12 as in FIG. 4 wherein the adhesive layer is identified as l2" or may be impregnated `therein depending on the exact product specification and use. If the base 12 is a fiexible cloth of woven or non woven characteristic, the binding plastic 14 may extend not only substantially covering the particles 16 but also through and through the cloth base 12. As such, the resin 14 may serve to also reinforce and/or rigidize the filaments, fibers or threads of which the base 12 is composed.
The base 12, as stated, may also comprise part (FIG. 3) or all of the resinous material 14 (see FIG. 4 wherein the resinous material is identified by numeral 12") or a rigid material such as metal, ceramic or plastic other than that of which the adhesive binder 14 is made. As such the article 10 may comprise a rigid abrasive or abrading tool or a portion of a structure utilized for resisting abrasion, heat oxidation or other forms of corrosion and wear.
If the particles or bits 16 are made of a material such as tungsten carbide silicon carbide, etc. which may be easily plated by electro-deposition, fiame-plating or other means, they may be plated with chromium carbides, such as tungsten carbide, or other material to improve their resistance to wear and abrasion. For example a hard chromium coating or plating on such particles will serve as a surface hardening means and a dry lubricant so that the particles will encounter less frictional forces during the movement of the surface 11 of the composite article against another surface, thereby enchancing the wear resistance characteristics of the article. The particles may be so plated prior to or after adhesive bonding to the surface of 12 after which a further layer of the binding plastic 14 may be applied thereover to a depth which includes contact with or encapsulation of the cloth 17 or array of filaments, fibers, threads or whiskers 18 and 19.
If the filaments 17 are provided as a woven or otherwise formed cloth or mesh it will act as anet for holding all the particles in place and if the openings in said net are of correct size they will permit portions of the particles to penetrate therethrough to provide an abrasive or abrading resistant surface 11.
The elongated reinforcing elements 18, as stated, may be provided in the form of a net or woven cloth, as a matte or loosely held together filaments or in a random array criss crossing the particles 16 throughout the binder layer 14. If provided as a cloth or net they may comprise woven synthetic or natural fibers of any suitable plastic, glass filaments, ceramic fibers or metal elements such as wires, rods or the like. The filaments or elements 18 and 19` may also comprise single elongated crystals of metal such as metal whiskers, the tensile strength of many of which are known to exceed that of most known materials. If such metal Whisker elements are provided, they may be supplied Vas a matte of non-connected elements compessed into the binder layer 14, as a random mixture of such Whisker elements pre-mixed with the adhesive or resinous material or as a matte of metal whiskers which is formed by compressing a plurality of aligned or 4randomly disposed single crystals of metal and resistance welding those portions of each Whisker or crystal which cross portions of `other whiskers or crystals by applying sufficient electrical potential between the platens or rollers between which said matte is so compressed. Such a resistance whelded matte will serve not only to retain the particles 16 in place but also to substantially enhance t-he strength of the assembly 10 in all directions.
It is noted that the binder material 14 in which the laments 18, 19 and particles 16- are embedded in coacting array may comprise other than resinous materials, such as ceramic or metal provided originally in the powdered lor particle state and sintered or otherwise solidified around the bits and filament array.
The improved composite structure or article illustrated in the drawing may be fabricated in a number of manners. For example, a first coating or layer of adhesive may be applied to the base member 12 upon which is disposed by gravity or blown a multitude of the particles 16 which are -retained by said adhesive. The adhesive may be allowed to dry or solidify lor retained in a molten or tacky condition while the individual filaments, whiskers or cloth netting 17 is brought to bear against the particles so that the particles project through the openings therein as illustrated. Further adhesive or resin may then be applied to increase the depth of the coating and to adhesively bond the individual elements of the matte, random array of filaments or cloth to the individual particles or chips 16. In another method, the filaments 18 and 19 may be provided as a matte, cloth or random array in a layer of resinous material .provided on the base member 12 and the particles or bits 16 may be blown, fed by gravity and/or compressively pressed by means of rollers or a platen into the yresinous ylayer and into surface engagement with the individual filaments, fibers or whisker elements 18 and 19.
In a further method, the bits 16 aswell as short lengths of filaments, fibers or whiskers may be premixed with a predetermined quantity of resin or adhesive material and applied by flowing, roller-coating, extrusion coating or other means to the `surface of the base member 12 in such a manner as to provide a random array of particles and elongated elements coacting within the binder layer whereby the retention of the bit elements is enhanced by the elongated elements. Such a mixture may also be cast or molded into various shapes depending on the end use, in such a density that the elongated elements or filaments cooperate with the binder or resin 14 in retaining the bits in place, and the bits 16 in turn cooperate in lretaining the elongated elements in position.
In a further method for producing an article having the components illustrated in the drawing, a non-woven matte or cloth of woven filaments, threads or fibers may be provided and saturated with an adhesive or -resinous material. The bits or particles 16 may thereafter be compressed or otherwise -deposited against the adhesive material saturating the cloth or surrounding the individual filaments or fibers thereof while still in a molten or tacky condition. The composite article so formed may be utilized per se after solidification of the plastic or may be compressively engaged against a base member or support such as 12 prior to solidification of the plastic or after solidification thereof by the application of a further layer or coating of adhesive or resinous material to one surface of said particle adhered structure or to the surface of the base member 12.
In another method of producing an article of the type provided in the drawing, the particles or abrasive bits 16 may be deposited in the binder 14 on the base 12 and the filaments or threads 18 or `19 forcibly secured thereo. One means for forcibly securing said filament or thread members within the resin and against the base and bits, is to provide -it as an elongated thread or filament of substantial length, provide the base 12 as a rigid element or secured against a rigid element `or cylindrical or other elongated shape and Winding said filament against or around .the base 12 in a manner to provide it in spacedapart array as shown. Winding may be effected to provide said filament in one direction or in the two directions illustrated to tensionally draw the filament and particles against the base and may be effected with the filament or thread coated with adhesive in a state prior to setting.
The improved structure in `a coated, abrasive bit hereinabove described, may be fabricated in a number of manners. For example, the bits may be charged into a so-called rotary hopper and caused to flow as a steady stream from a 4first level in the hopper to `the lower end thereof by rotation of the hopper. As the bits freely fall through space, a coating application means such as flame spraying equipment of the plasma-arc type may direct a stream of heated particles or vapor of the material to -be coated against the falling particles for a sufiicient period `of time so that a coating of substantially equal thickness develops on substantially all of the particles. The coating may comprise such hard surfacing materials as tungsten carbide, boron carbide, tungsten metal or other extremely hard metal or compound. A face on which the coated bit is fabricated may comprise a softer material having the desired characteristics such as a silicate, quartz, oxide such as aluminum oxide, or perhaps even metal of predetermined shape. For example, it is known that the metal molybdenum is capable of withstanding temperatures in excess of 4,500o F. Preshaped small cutting members made of molybdenum and ame coated with a hard material such as tungsten carbide may Ibe used for machining or grinding purposes and in an environment `or condition whereby high temperatures exist during machining without destruction of the cutting tool or particles.
The free-falling particle o-r particles plating or coating method described in the hereinabove paragraph may include preheating the particles or articles to be coated by means of la second flame or plasma-jet or jets directed thereagainst prior -to free-fall through space to facilitate coating since the particles will only be heated during the short interval they fall through the coating flame or jet.
In another method, a plurality of particles may be disposed against a base member preferably made of a high temperature resistant metal such as molybdenum or ceramic or coated with a ceramic material such as tungsten carbide and, while so disposed, may be flame coated by directing a coating jet or ame such as a plasma arc against the upper surfaces of the particles. The ame sprayed material will thus be applied as a uniform coating not only to the exposed surfaces of the bits or particles but also -to the surrounding areas of the layer of bonding material, (ie. sintered powdered metal, bers, combinations of metal and fibers or whiskers, resin, etc.). Depending on the nature of the coating material, the resulting structure may be provided with varying degrees of oxidation resistance, hardness, lubrication, etc.
Coating `of various materials such as molybdenum, tungsten, tantaluni, columbium, zirconium, titanium, etc. or alloys, oxides, nitrides -or other compositions containing these high temperature metals may be applied by means such as described above not only to enhance the physical characteristics of abrasive bits, metal powder particles, etc. but may also be applied to short single crystals of metal such as metal whiskers to enhance their physical characteristics and enhance their resistance to heat oxidation .and other chemical attack. Alternate coatings of the same or different metals, alloys, oxides, nitrides, cermets, etc. or combinations of these materials may be applied as described to predetermined thicknesses to cooperate in producing particles, whiskers or composite articles as described hav-ing predetermined physical and chemical characteristics.
Whereas in FIG. 1, the individual particles or abrasive bits 16 are sho-wn immediately adjacent the surface 13 of the base 4member 12 and are preferably initially held thereagainst by means of the cloth or webbing 17, in FIG. 2 a modified structure is shown in which the abrasive bits or particles are applied as a plurality of layers distributed throughout the binding layer 14 and in which only the upper layer of said particles 16 penetrate or push through lthe openings in the cloth or netting 17. Thus there are provided a plurality of bits or particles 20 underneath those bits 16 which protrude outward Ifrom the surface of the member The lower layer or layers of particles may serve a number of functions including that of -substantially enhancing the strength of the bonding layer 14 and providing means for replenishing parti-cles should the .article 10 be subject to abrasion or wear. It is also noted in FIG. 2 that the adhesive or binding material 14 is shown extending substantially above the upper surface of the netting or cl-oth 17, at least to a greater degree than illustrated in FIG. 1. In both the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is noted that the .individual particles or bits 16 are bonded and held not only by the adhesive layer 14 'but also the individual vfilaments or threads of the netting or cloth 17 to which they are bonded.
In FIG. 3 preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in which the fwovcn cloth or netting 17 of FIGS. 1 and 2 has been replaced by a plurality of short, randomly distributed bers or filaments 22 which arc disposed within the adhesive layer 14 and are individually bonded not only to the individual bits 16y but to each other at points where they cross. The combined article 21 thus provides a bit covered base 12' held in a binder layer 14 and further retained together by means of laments or fibers 22 of any suitable synthetic plastic, ceramic or glass materials. It is briefly noted that the filament elements 22 may also comprise metal wires or whiskers randomly distributed throughout the bonding layer 14 though preferably extending substantially parallel to the surface 13 of the base 12.
FIG. 4 illustrates a construction similar to that described with respect to FIG. 3 except that the entire base 12 is formed of a lresinous material 12 which is similar to the material of layer 14 of FIG. 3. The individual bits 16 and filamentary bodies 22 of FIG. 4 are 6 similar in every respect to their respective counterparts 16 and 22 of FIG. 3.
