Grinding cermets with diamond wheels

Suitability of aqueous MoS2 nanofluid for small quantity cooling lubrication–assisted diamond grinding of WC-Co cermets

“…The hot plate then increased its power consumption in order to maintain a steady temperature of 200°C despite the spray of cutting fluid. The extra power required by the hot plate was equated with the heat loss due to the spraying action, and h eff was calculated from equation (1)…”

“…As early as 1967, it was observed that the conventional white corundum and green silicon carbide were unsuitable for the grinding of carbide-based cermets containing 15% of nickel as binding material and that diamond grinding of cermets was a much more viable option. 1 Use of cast iron–bonded diamond wheels provided an improvement in the grindability of WC with 12% Co by weight. 2…”
