Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A polycrystalline abrasive grain includes: a plurality of cBN particles; and a binder that binds the plurality of cBN particles, wherein the binder includes at least one of nitride, carbide, and carbonitride of one selected from a group consisting of a group 4a metal, a group 5a metal, and a group 6a metal in a periodic table, and a content of the binder in the polycrystalline abrasive grain is more than or equal to 5 volume % and less than or equal to 50 volume %.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 : A polycrystalline abrasive grain comprising: a plurality of high-pressure phase type boron nitride particles; and a binder that binds the plurality of high-pressure phase type boron nitride particles, wherein the binder includes at least one of nitride, carbide, and carbonitride of at least one selected from a group consisting of a group 4a metal, a group 5a metal, and a group 6a metal in a periodic table, and a content of the binder in the polycrystalline abrasive grain is more than or equal to 5 volume % and less than or equal to 50 volume %. 2 : The polycrystalline abrasive grain according to claim 1 , wherein the polycrystalline abrasive grain has a first surface formed at an outer surface of the polycrystalline abrasive grain, and at least one recess is formed in the first surface. 3 : The polycrystalline abrasive grain according to claim 2 , wherein a value obtained by dividing a total area of the recess by a total area of the first surface and the recess of the polycrystalline abrasive grain is more than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.99. 4 : The polycrystalline abrasive grain according to claim 1 , wherein the binder includes at least one selected from a group consisting of TiN, TiCN, ZrN, HfN, VN, NbCN, TaC, CrN, MoC, and WC. 5 : A grinding wheel comprising the polycrystalline abrasive grain recited in claim 1 .
