Abstract

Abstract The back finish of a flexible grinding tool, especially a grinding belt, contains an ingredient which is composed predominantly of plate-like mineral particles, preferably micaceous iron ore. It gives the belt a higher rigidity and better sliding properties on its back.

Description

~3~7.~ ~3 The invention relates to a flexible grinding t~ol, especially a grinding belt, with a flexible backing which carries a back finish.
In flexible grinding tools, it is often desirable to ensure that the backing has a high strength towards fulling and bending stresses. It is known that, in backings based on fiber material, for example fabric~ this property can be improved by using a hardening back finish which is applied in the liquid state and which partially penetrates into the fiber or thread interspaces and partially remains as a layer on the back of the backing. It should have a high inherent strength in view of its reinforcing function and its capacity for resistance to the mechanical stresses of a grinding machine. Those finishes which are comparatively hard in the hardened state are therefore usually used. In contrast to this, substances remaining relatively soft are employed for the so-called core finish which is introduced into the fiber material before the application of the back finish and grain-side finish, in order to prevent the penetration of the side finishes and protect the fibers against possibly aggressive and embrittling influences of the side finishes.
Furthermore, the aim to be achieved by applying the back finish is to smooth the rear of the backing which is generally uneven or rough according to the textile structure.
However, it is impossible with conventional finishes to eliminate the unevenness of the back completely, since, after the harfening of the finish, the surface structure of the backing exhibits more or less large height differences in ~`

~31~7~ ~

the surface of the layer ~ormed by the finish. There are types of sheet-like textile material which have an especially uneven back. These include stitch-bonded fabrics with ~iber strands which lie on their back and which are connected by means of a stitch-bonding thread. The fiber strands appear as elevations with intermediate depressions. The stitching threads projecting above the fiber strands attain an even greater height. Thus, in a product available on the market, the distanca between the under-side of the yarn and the highest point of the stitch-bonding thread can be of the order of 0.3 to 0.5 mm, with a center spacing of the fiber strands of 1.8 mm. In the grinning zone, the grinding belt is supported on the supporting structure of the gxinding machine at its points which are the highest on its back. If the supporting structure is formed by stationary supporting elements over which the grinding belt slides, the uneven form of the back of the grinding belt can have a highly abrasive effect, especially when the supporting elements are equipped with graphitic sliding coverings which, tensioned by means of pressure bars, are intended to prevent friction between the back of the grinding belt and the pressure-bar surface.
Attempts have heen made to reduce the roughness of the rear of the backing by means of a nonwoven coating (W0 8//02306), but this involves a very high outlay.
The invention reduces the wearing effect of the back of the grinding tool on the supporting structure of the grinding machine and improves the mechanical properties of the grinding tool.
According to the invention, the back finish contains a plate-like mineral ingredient.
The ingredient reinforces the layer containing it and thereby increases the resistance of the tool. Whereas it has been necessary hitherto to influence this resistance by a suitable choice of the hardness, layer thickness and depth of penetration of the back finish, ~ 3 1 4 1 1 0 these parameters can now be chosen with greater freedom.
Th;s applies espec;ally to those parameters ~hich relate to the above-explajn~d ~earing property of the ~ool.
To that extent, the ;nvention i5 base~ on th~ f;nding that, on the one hand, the hitherto conventional hard consistencies of the back fin;sh have an adverse influence on the uearing propert;es of the tool and, on the other hand, a soft consist~ncy of the back finish re~u~es the wear caused by the tool baçk.
The softness of the hardened back finish refers primar;ly to the Shore hardness which should not be hi~her than 90 Shore A~ ~referably no h;gh~r than 8S Shore A and further prefer~bly no higher than 80 Shore A~ hardness rangRs of be~ween 60 and ao Shore A have proven appropriate. It must ~e assume~ that not only the hardness as such but aLso the h;gher wearing capacity of the back finish caused thereby is respons;ble tor the effect accordin~ to the ;n~ention. Softness within the meaning of ~he invention ~ilL th~re~ore also preferab~y rèfer to a relative~y high weariny capacity~
~ck eleva~ions which could other~ise have an abrasive ef~ect àre ehus re~oved more quickly, and pl~ne or softly rounded support;ng surfaces form at these points. Th;s appl;es esPeCially to the points which are r~ise~ 3S a result of stitch-bonding threads Lying undernea~h. It does nat matter if, after th~ wear of the ba~k finish~
the stitch~bonding threads are exposed at these points, especially sincs after a short period of oper~tion they ~re penetrated by a s~iding agent, for example graphite dust, ~hich ;~ abraded by the suppor~in~ eL~ments. A
Plura~;ty of fiber bundles of the stitch-bond;ng threads ~hich ara penetrated by the sl;d;ng agen~ can, ~s 3 ~hole, form a ~ow~fri~t;on sliding ~nd conta~t surfase ot the gr;nding belt ln relat;on to the suppore;ng element.
Although it ;s known ~US-A-3,1b6,3a8) to use poly~er reinforcin~ p~rtlcles in a backing composed of a ~oo~-f;ber n~n~oven, this proposal neverth~less bQars no`relat;on to the ~e~ring proper~ies of a ~rinding-belt baGk and a back finish~

The softness or ~e~ring caparity of the b3ck finish is appropriat~ly selected so that the highest b~ck points ar~ substan~ially removed, to form sur~ace portions havin~ a ~oo~ sliding prope~ty, ~ter approxi-~atel~ one tenth of the inte~ded lifetime of the ~rindin~
belt. In products curr~ntly on the ~rke~, this corres-ponds to ~ per;od of time of approximately half ~n hour~
The re;nfor~ing effe~t of the plate-l;ke ~articl~5 is the grea~er, the more ~hey are ~anged parallel to the tool e~tension An ~dvarlta~eous em~odiment of the invention is therefore distinguished ;n that, in the alignment of the par~icle~, the directional comPonent parallel to the tanl extension p~edom;nates. Th;s can also be favorable in ~erms of the sliding and wearin~
propert;es of the tool~ A multiple mutual overl~pping of a~jacerlt particles also contri~utes to the reinforce-ment. ~his ~pplies especially when the particles are bedded close to the rear sur~ace of the ~ecking and are also at only a short d;stance from one another~ Accor-ding to the inven~ion, such a state c~n b~ achieve~ by ensurin~ that, at least in a produc~ion ~hase in vhich the beLt 3dvance hori70nt~lly or slightly inclined, the f ;nish is of .such low viscosity that the particl~s are concent~ate~ near the rear surface of the backing. In an advantageous extreme case, the p~rticles f~r~ a layer sedimented on the rear of the b~king, ~hilst that part of the back f;nish loc~ted near~r its free surf~ce is substantially free of or clearly ~ore defi~ient in partiGles. The a~vantages of this construction are, on the one hand, the ;mpro~ed reinforcing ~ffect ~f the part;cles, and, on the other hand, ~hat they a~e l~cking in the outermost zone of the finish criticaL for the s~;ting properties and can th~refore be seleGted without taking into account their slidin~ proPerties- In order to sink the particles into thQ re~r surface of the backing, ;t is advantayeous that they have a high specific weight, for e~ample of the order of 5 g/cm3.
