Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for milling a cermet or cemented carbide powder. The process comprises circulating a slurry comprising powder(s) forming hard constituents, powder(s) forming binder phase and a grinding liquid through a grinding chamber. The grinding chamber comprises grinding elements and an agitator where the agitator is rotating around an essentially horizontal axis. The process according to the present invention provides a cermet or cemented carbide powder mixture at a significantly reduced milling time.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cemented carbide cutting tool insert/button for mining and construction comprising hard constituents in a binder phase of Co and/or Ni and at least one surface portion and an interior portion in which surface portion the grain size is smaller than in the interior portion. The surface portion with the fine grain size has a lower binder phase content than the interior portion.
