Research on Sol-Gel Synthesis of Low-Temperature NaO-BO-SiO Vitrified Bonds and Preparation of High-Strength Stacked Abrasives Using the Molding and Crushing Method.

Currently, the sol-gel technique is employed in the synthesis of high-performance vitrified bonds; however, its application in the fabrication of stacked abrasives has been minimally explored. Furthermore, the methods utilized in the production of abrasive particles for stacked abrasives are technically challenging and incur high costs, which hinders their actual industrial application. Consequently, this study utilizes the sol-gel approach to synthesize a NaO-BO-SiO ternary system vitrified bond powder and employs a molding and crushing method, which offers a lower technological barrier and reduced preparation costs, for the production of abrasive particles subsequently fabricating corundum stacked abrasives. Upon setting the binder composition to a molar ratio of n(SiO):n(BO):n(NaO) = 65:23:12, it was observed that the crystallization within the glass matrix was minimized and the optimal sintering temperature for the synthesized laminate abrasive to be sustained at 820 °C. At the aforementioned temperature, the binder melt is capable of flowing uniformly amongst the abrasive granules, thereby ensuring a robust encapsulation of the particles. The average single particle compressive strength of the prepared corundum stacked abrasive with a grain size of forty mesh can reach the highest of all composition points at 28.56 N and the average single particle compressive strength of the prepared diamond stacked abrasive is 28.14 N.
