Study of Inhibition Function of Grinding Fluid Additive to Leaching Cobalt from Cemented Carbide

Abstract

Grinding fluid is the essential supplementary material in cemented carbide grinding process. The amine-base additive can make cobalt leach from cemented carbide. Through grinding test, this paper mainly studies the influence of TEA-containing solution on cobalt leaching from cemented carbide and the leaching mechanism by SEM and AES, and then identifies the effective inhibitor. The results are as follows: (1) TEA additive can make cobalt leach from cemented carbide. (2) Additive of triethanolamine oleate in th…
