METHOD FOR GRINDING GLASS

摘要

A method of grinding a glass or other workpiece is described comprising the steps of: contacting a grinding layer (22) of a flexible abrasive article (10) with the surface of a glass workpiece, the grinding layer comprising abrasive grit dispersed in a bonding matrix (15), the matrix (15) attached to a flexible backing (12); and moving the grinding layer (22) of the flexible abrasive article (10) and the surface of the glass workpiece relative to one another at a velocity of at least about 16.5 meters per second to provide a final surface roughness Ra less than about 0.030 micrometer.
