     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present disclosure relates generally to coated abrasive articles that include a tribological performance enhancing composition in a make coat, a size coat, a supersize coat, or combinations thereof, as well as methods of making coated abrasive articles. The present disclosure also relates to coated abrasive articles including a supersize coating comprising a sulfide scavenging composition and/or a crosslinked zinc acrylic binder, as well as methods for making and using such abrasive articles. The present disclosure also relates generally to abrasive articles that include aggregates having an anti-wear composition or grinding aid disposed on or within the aggregates. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Abrasive articles, such as coated abrasives, are used in various industries to machine work pieces, such as by lapping, grinding, and polishing. Surface processing using abrasive articles spans a wide industrial scope from initial coarse material removal to high precision finishing and polishing of surfaces at a submicron level. Effective and efficient abrasion of metal surfaces, particularly iron-carbon alloys, such as carbon steel and stainless steel, and nickel-chromium alloys, such as Inconel, which are required for high performance oxidation resistant and corrosion resistant applications, pose numerous processing challenges. 
     Industries that produce or rely on such alloys are sensitive to factors that influence operational costs, including the speed at which a surface can be prepared, the cost of the materials used to prepare that surface, and the costs associated with the time expended to prepare a surface. Typically, industry seeks to achieve cost effective abrasive materials and processes that achieve high material removal rates. However, abrasives and abrasive processes that exhibit high removal rates often also tend to exhibit poor performance, if not impossibility, in achieving desired surface characteristics associated with high precision finishing and polishing of surfaces. Conversely, abrasives that produce such desirable surface characteristics often have low material removal rates, which can require more time and effort to remove a sufficient amount of surface material. 
     Therefore, there continues to be a demand for improved abrasive products and methods that can offer enhanced abrasive processing performance, efficiency, and improved surface quality.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The following description, in combination with the figures, is provided to assist in understanding the teachings disclosed herein. The following discussion will focus on specific implementations and embodiments of the teachings. This discussion is provided to assist in describing the teachings and should not be interpreted as a limitation on the scope or applicability of the teachings. 
     The term “averaged,” when referring to a value, is intended to mean an average, a geometric mean, or a median value. As used herein, the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” “has,” “having,” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of features is not necessarily limited only to those features but can include other features not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. As used herein, the phrase “consists essentially of” or “consisting essentially of” means that the subject that the phrase describes does not include any other components that substantially affect the property of the subject. 
     Further, unless expressly stated to the contrary, “or” refers to an inclusive-or and not to an exclusive-or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present). 
     The use of “a” or “an” is employed to describe elements and components described herein. This is done merely for convenience and to give a general sense of the scope of the invention. This description should be read to include one or at least one and the singular also includes the plural, or vice versa, unless it is clear that it is meant otherwise. 
     Further, references to values stated in ranges include each and every value within that range. When the terms “about” or “approximately” precede a numerical value, such as when describing a numerical range, it is intended that the exact numerical value is also included. For example, a numerical range beginning at “about 25” is intended to also include a range that begins at exactly 25. Moreover, it will be appreciated that references to values stated as “at least about,” “greater than,” “less than,” or “not greater than” can include a range of any minimum or maximum value noted therein. 
     As used herein, the phrase “average particle diameter” can be reference to an average, mean, or median particle diameter, also commonly referred to in the art as D 50 . 
     Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting. To the extent not described herein, many details regarding specific materials and processing acts are conventional and can be found in textbooks and other sources within the coated abrasive arts.

     Example 2 
     Abrasive Performance Testing S1-S4—1026 Carbon Steel 
     Inventive abrasive discs were successfully prepared that included supersize coats including tribological performance enhancing compositions according to the formulations S1-S4 of Example 1. Abrasive performance testing of the inventive discs and conventional comparative discs was conducted on 1026 carbons steel workpieces. The comparative discs did not have a supersize coating and were used as a control sample. The construction of the abrasive discs and the abrasive performance results are shown in Table 3. The results indicated slightly reduced performance for S1, and increased performance for S2, S3, and S4 formulations. Specific grinding energy (“SGE”) was measured during testing and is graphed compared to cumulative material removed as shown in  FIG. 11 .

     Example 4 
     Abrasive Performance Testing S7-S13—IS 2062 Steel 
     Inventive abrasive discs were successfully prepared that included supersize coats including tribological performance enhancing compositions according to the formulations S7-S13 of Example 1. Abrasive performance testing of the inventive discs and conventional comparative discs was conducted on IS 2062 steel workpieces. The comparative discs did not have a supersize coating and were used as a control sample. The construction of the abrasive discs and the abrasive performance results are shown in Table 5. A bar graph of the cumulative cut results is shown in  FIG. 13A  and a graph of the SGE versus cumulative cut is shown in  FIG. 13B . Unexpectedly and surprisingly, the results indicated beneficial improved abrasive for all inventive samples S7-S13. Again, unexpectedly and surprisingly, the specific grinding energy (“SGE”) was reduced or equivalent for all inventive samples S7-S13.

     Example 8 
     Abrasive Performance Testing S14—1026 Carbon Steel 
     Inventive abrasive discs were successfully prepared that included supersize coats including tribological performance enhancing compositions according to the formulation S14 of Example 7. Abrasive performance testing of the inventive discs and conventional comparative discs was conducted on 1026 carbon steel workpieces. The comparative discs did not have a supersize coating and were used as a control sample. The construction of the abrasive discs and the abrasive performance results are shown in Table 9. Cumulative material removed over time was graphed and is shown in  FIG. 14A . Specific grinding energy (“SGE”) versus cumulative material removed was graphed and is shown in  FIG. 14B . Results indicate some improved abrasive performance for S14 and a reduced SGE during the initial duration of the life of the disc.

     Abrasive Performance Testing S15—1026 Carbon Steel 
     Inventive abrasive discs were successfully prepared that included grinding aid aggregates having compositions according to formulation S15 of Example 9 that were disposed on the make coat along with the abrasive grains.  FIG. 15A  depicts the surface of the inventive abrasive disc of Example 10 prior to deposition of a size coat.  FIG. 15B  depicts the surface of the inventive abrasive disc of Example 10 after a size coat has been applied and cured. Abrasive performance testing of the inventive discs and conventional comparative discs was conducted on 1026 carbon steel workpieces. The comparative discs did not have any grinding aid aggregates in the make coat or any supersize coating and were used as a control sample. The construction of the abrasive discs and the abrasive performance results are shown in Table 11. Cumulative material removed and wear on the discs was graphed and is shown in  FIG. 16A . Specific grinding energy (“SGE”) versus cumulative material removed was graphed and is shown in  FIG. 16B . Results indicate improved abrasive performance for S15 and a reduced SGE compared to the control.

     Example 11 
     Abrasive Performance Testing S15 and S16—1026 Carbon Steel 
     Inventive abrasive discs were successfully prepared that included grinding aid aggregates having compositions according to formulation S15 and S16 of Example 9 that were disposed on the make coat along with the abrasive grains.  FIG. 17  depicts the surface of the inventive abrasive disc S16 of Example 11 prior to deposition of a size coat Abrasive performance testing of the inventive discs and conventional comparative discs was conducted on 1026 carbon steel workpieces. The comparative discs did not have any grinding aid aggregates in the make coat or any supersize coating and were used as a control sample. The construction of the abrasive discs and the abrasive performance results are shown in Table 12. Cumulative material removed and wear on the discs was graphed and is shown in  FIG. 18A . Specific grinding energy (“SGE”) versus cumulative material removed was graphed and is shown in  FIG. 18B . Results indicate improved abrasive performance for both S15 and S16 as well as reduced SGE compared to the control.

     Example 12 
     Abrasive Performance Testing S15—IS 2062 Steel 
     Inventive abrasive discs were successfully prepared that included grinding aid aggregates having compositions according to formulation S15 of Example 9 that were disposed on the make coat along with the abrasive grains. The loading weight (areal density) of the grinding aid aggregates was varied for samples D1-D3. Abrasive performance testing of the inventive discs and conventional comparative discs was conducted on IS 2062 Steel workpieces. The comparative discs did not have any grinding aid aggregates in the make coat or any supersize coating and were used as a control sample. The construction of the abrasive discs and the abrasive performance results are shown in Table 13. Cumulative material removed was graphed and is shown in  FIG. 19 . Results indicate improved abrasive performance for discs including the S15 grinding aid aggregates, but unexpectedly and surprisingly, the performance improvement, although significant, was not linear compared to the amount of S15 grinding aid aggregates loaded onto the make coat.

     Abrasive Performance Testing S15-Belts 
     Inventive abrasive belts were successfully prepared that included grinding aid aggregates having compositions according to formulation S15 of Example 9 that were disposed on the make coat along with the abrasive grains. The wt % of the grinding aid aggregates was varied for samples D4-D5. Abrasive performance testing of the inventive belts and conventional comparative belts was conducted on INCONEL® alloy 718 workpieces. The comparative belts did not have any grinding aid aggregates in the make coat or any supersize coating and were used as a control sample. The construction of the abrasive belts and the abrasive performance results are shown in Table 14. Cumulative material removed was recorded. Results indicate improved abrasive performance for both D4 and D5 compared to the control. Results indicate improved abrasive performance for belts including the S15 grinding aid aggregates, but unexpectedly and surprisingly, the performance improvement, although significant, was not linear compared to the weight % of S15 grinding aid aggregates loaded onto the make coat.

     The components were thoroughly mixed together to form an anti-wear composition. 
     Example 15 
     Abrasive Aggregates 
     Vitrified abrasive aggregates of aluminum oxide grit particles dispersed in a glass bond were soaked in the anti-wear composition so that the anti-wear composition was disposed within the aggregates between the grit particles of the aggregate and in the pores of the aggregate. Portions of the surface of the aggregates, and in some cases, the entire aggregate surface, were covered with the anti-wear composition. The aluminum oxide grit particles had an average size of P36 (˜525-545 microns) while the aggregates had an average size from screen 10 to screen 18 (1 mm to 2 mm). The treated aggregates were collected and dried in an oven until the anti-wear composition was solidified (“cured”). 
     Example 16 
     Coated Abrasive Preparation with Abrasive Aggregates 
     A sample coated abrasive will be prepared that includes the treated abrasive aggregates of Example 15. The sample coated abrasive will be tested to determine its abrasive performance compared to a control sample. Beneficial abrasive results for the sample coated abrasive will be observed.

     The supersize coating was applied to an abrasive disc to form an inventive sample. Abrasive testing was conducted comparing the sample disc to a comparative abrasive disc where the only difference was that the comparative disc did not have any supersize coat. The results of the abrasive testing are summarized in Table 21 and shown in  FIG. 22A  and  FIG. 22B .
