Title:
CERIUM BASED ABRASIVE MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING CERIUM BASED ABRASIVE MATERIAL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/048280
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A cerium based abrasive material containing 40 wt % or more of cerium oxide (relative to the total rare earth oxides), wherein the material contains fluorine in an amount of 0.5 to 10 wt % in terms of atomic weight relative to the cerium based abrasive material and comprises abrasive grains composed of crystals having a lattice constant in the range of 0.544 to 0.560 nm as measured by the powder X-ray diffractometry; and a method for evaluating a cerium based abrasive material which comprises the steps of subjecting the material to an analysis by the powder X-ray diffractometry, wherein the diffraction angle ($g(u)) of at least one maximum peak of the four maximum peaks appearing in the specific four ranges is determined, and calculating from the angle the lattice constant of the crystal constituting abrasive grains of the material. The cerium based abrasive is capable of forming a surface polished with improved accuracy and also exhibits improved machining capability; and the method for evaluation allows relatively simple and easy evaluation of a cerium based abrasive material.
