Abstract
Abstract Abrasive grains rigidly bonded to each other form aggregates which are dispersed in a resilient matrix of an abrasive wheel so that the aggregates do not significantly interfere with each other's individual movement under grinding stresses against the resilient restraint of the matrix. The wheels remove metal from a workpiece much faster and lose less abrasive material than corresponding wheels in which the same abrasive particles are individually embedded in the same matrix.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A shaped, flexible, resilient abrasive member essentially consisting of a matrix of elastomeric material and a plurality of aggregates embedded in said matrix in spaced relationship and bonded to each other by said material, each aggregate essentially consisting of a multiplicity of grains of abrasive material and of a bonding agent more rigid than said elastomeric material and bonding said grains to each other, said matrix having a Shore A hardness of 75 to 20, and said aggregates having a Shore D hardness of at least 65.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
87 words
A shaped, flexible, resilient abrasive member essentially consisting of a matrix of elastomeric material and a plurality of aggregates embedded in said matrix in spaced relationship and bonded to each other by said material, each aggregate essentially consisting of a multiplicity of grains of abrasive material and of a bonding agent more rigid than said elastomeric material and bonding said grains to each other, said matrix having a Shore A hardness of 75 to 20, and said aggregates having a Shore D hardness of at least 65.
