ANALYSIS OF WEAR CHARACTERISTICS

OF WC-CO CUTTING TOOLS DURING

PARTICLEBOARD MILLING

Through the experiment, it shows that the similarities in the relative wear characteristics of blades
with submicron tungsten carbide grain sizes which suggest that micro-abrasion and bond phase
extrusion may be the main wear mechanisms under the experimental conditions. Nanometric WC
grain size significantly influences tool wear through chipping and cracking. By Joanna Wachowicz
