An abrasive article can include an abrasive component including a body. The body can include a bond matrix and abrasive particles contained in the bond matrix. In an embodiment, the body can include an interconnected phase extending through at least a portion of the bond matrix. The body can include a discontinuous phase including a plurality of discrete members. At least one of the discrete member can include a macroscopic pore. In another embodiment, the body can include a porosity of at least 15 vol % for a total volume of the body.

Abrasive article and method of forming

A process can include forming at least one precursor abrasive component on a core and infiltrating at least a portion of the precursor abrasive component. The precursor abrasive component can include a body including a metal bond matrix and abrasive particles. Infiltrating can be performed after forming the precursor abrasive component with an infiltrant material. The infiltrant material can include a metal element, an alloy or a combination thereof. In an embodiment, forming at least one precursor abrasive component can include simultaneously joining the precursor abrasive component to the core.
