AN ABRASIVE MATERIAL FOR PRECISION SURFACE TREATMENT AND A METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURING THEREOF

摘要

An abrasive material is proposed which is useful for the precision treatment of surfaces. This material may be in the form of an abrasive layer adhered by chemical and/or physical bonds to a carrier, the latter preferably made of a flexible material such as plastic. Alternatively, the abrasive material may be in the form of a free abrasive without a carrier. The abrasive material may be in the form of a vacuum condensate consisting of at least 80 atomic percent of an ultradispersed composite superhard diamond-like substance, preferably containing carbon, and including not more than 0.1 atomic percent hydrogen and oxygen, combined. The abrasive material is preferably obtained from the pulse-flows of an accelerated electroerosive plasma.
