DRY GRINDING CEMENTED CARBIDE WORKPIECES WITH SILVER-COATED DIAMOND GRIT

摘要

Disclosed is an improved method for dry grinding a workpiece comprising a non-ferrous metal carbide-containing alloy with a resin bonded grinding element having diamond particles embedded in the grinding surface thereof. Such improvement for increasing the grinding ratio and decreasing the power required to rotate the grinding element during grinding operations comprises coating the exterior surfaces of each said diamond particle with a layer of metal consisting essentially of silver prior to embedding the diamond particles in the grinding element.
