This invention relateis to a process o-f manufacture of abrasive grains at ambient temperature for providing a uniform hard, surface thereon leading to delayed fracture and therefore, enhanced life of abrasive wheels made from such grains.
We have proposed a process whereby abrasive grains are chemically modified to provide a uniform^ hard, surface thereon - This is covered by our Patent Application No. /HAS/97.
However in that process the treated abrasive grains wi11 have to be fired in a furnace from 300 deg C to 700 deg.C. On the other hand, in the process proposed herein the bonding takes place at room temperature itself thereby avoiding furnacing and saving substantial energy.
In this process abrasive grains are wetted with any type of phosphoric acid (up to 5X by weight of the grains) in a suitab 1 e mixer- A b 1 end of any oxide of copper and aluminous compound in the

prooortion 30:70 to 70:30 is prepared.
