Multifunction abrasive tool with hybrid bond
First Claim
1. A multifunction abrasive tool, comprising:
- a hybrid bond of a bronze and a polyimide; and
a plurality of fine abrasive grits blended with the hybrid bond;
wherein the tool has a substantially uniform thickness of 250 microns or less.

Abstract
Abrasive tools and techniques are disclosed that can cut hard, brittle materials to relatively precise dimensions. The tools, which can include a hybrid bond of metal or metal alloy and a resin matrix together with fine abrasive grits, can be employed, for example, in mirror finish cutting applications, thereby enabling ‘1×’ or ‘single-pass’ multi-function abrasive processes. The specific selection of resin and metal or metal alloy types is such that the tool is sufficiently brittle for the purpose of manufacture and durability, but ductile enough to withstand the grinding and handling stresses (an exemplary hybrid bond includes bronze and polyimide). Numerous tool types and applications will be apparent in light of this disclosure, including abrasive products for electronic device manufacturing such as thin 1A8 blades (single blade or multi-blade configuration).
