Nano-cemented carbide is a novel material, which is superior to common cemented carbide on physical and mechanical properties, such as high hardness, toughness, flexural strength and higher wear resisting property. It is proposed to have wide application prospect to tools and mould manufacturing. In this paper, ELID grinding technique is applied to grind nano-cemented carbide tools. And the ground surface quality, cutting edge radius, and machinability of nano-cemented carbide tools are studied, compared with common cemented carbide. It is demonstrated by experimental results that nano-cemented carbide has higher grinding surface quality with less surface flaw than that of common cemented carbide. The cutting edge radius of nano-cemented carbide tool is less than that of common cemented carbide tool. Under the same conditions, the tool life of nano-cemented carbide is 1~2 times longer than that of common cemented carbide. The research results indicate that ELID grinding technique is suitable for grinding cemented carbide tools. Nano-cemented carbide tools have better machinability than common cemented carbide tools.

Nano cemented carbide is a new style cutter material. Because its grain size is very small, it is superior to common cemented carbide in properties, such as high hardness, fracture toughness, flexural strength and higher abrasion resistance. As a cutter material, nano cemented carbide has wide use. In this paper, nano cemented carbide tool was ground with ELID technology, and the cutting properties of nano cemented carbide were studied, and the difference in cutting properties among the ultra-fine grain, common cemented carbide and nano cemented carbide was analyzed under the same condition. Results imply that the ground surface roughness of nano cemented carbide is obviously lower than that of common cemented carbide, and the tool life of nano cemented carbide is 5-7 times longer than that of common cemented carbide at low cutting speed.

Nanocomposite AlCrSiN hard coatings were deposited on the cemented carbide substrates with a negative substrate bias voltage within the range of −80 to −120 V using the cathodic arc evaporation system. The effect of variation in the bias voltage on the coating-substrate adhesion and nanohardness was investigated. It was clear that if bias voltage increased, nanohardness increased in the range from −80 V to −120 V. The coating deposited at the bias voltage of −120 V had the highest nanohardness (37.7 ± 1.5 GPa). The samples were prepared by brushing and wet microblasting to finish a surface and prepare the required cutting edge radii for the tool life cutting tests and the coating adhesion observation. The indents after the static Mercedes indentation test were studied by scanning the electron microscope to evaluate the coating-substrate adhesion. The longer time of edge preparation with surface finishing led to a slight deterioration in the adhesion strength of the coating to the substrate. The tool wear of cemented carbide turning inserts was studied on the turning centre during the tool life cutting test. The tested workpiece material was austenitic stainless steel. The cemented carbide turning inserts with larger cutting edge radius were worn out faster during the machining. Meanwhile, the tool life increased when the cutting edge radius was smaller.

Cemented carbide tools are widely used in machining industry due to their superior properties. WC-Co composite cemented carbide tool materials reinforced with Ni and SiC nano particles were fabricated by using powder metallurgy followed by hot extrusion. Different modified mechanism (nano-SiCp modified,binder(Co, Ni) modified and Co electoless plating coated WC ) of WC-based cemented carbide tool materials were fabricated by using powder metallurgy followed by hot extrusion. Microstructure,mechanical and cutting properties were studied. The results show that the heat-resistance, as well as high-temperature behaviors (hardness, wear-resistance and obdurability ) ,can be improved by adding nano-SiCp on WC-based cemented carbide. Ni-Ti replaced Ni as binder can improve hardness and red-hardness of tool. Mechanical properties are enhanced due to Co as binder having more wettability on WC surface than Ni .
