Abstract
An abrasive article having certain minimum levels of permeability to fluids comprises about 40 to 80%, by volume interconnected porosity and effective amounts of abrasive grain and bond to carry out soft grinding and deep cut grinding operations. The high permeability to the passage of fluids and interconnected porosity provides an open structure of channels to permit the passage of fluid through the abrasive article and the removal of swarf from the workpiece during grinding operations.
