Abstract

A mathematical model describing the dissolution of quartz in sinteringand fusible vitrified bonding systems was compared with experimental data using XRD techniques. It was found that when the samples were isothermally heat treated, the residual mass fraction of quartz was a function of t^1/2. When compared with experimental data, the model was found to be accurate for short periods of heat treatment. The model is of practical use for predicting the complete dissolution of quartz in vitrified bonding systems used for high performance silicon carbide grinding wheels that contain high clay content ‘sintering'bonding systems, and high performance corundum grinding wheels bonded with high glass content ‘fusible'bonding systems.
