Just curious if anyone has tried grinding MP35N. What kind of grinding wheels did you use, what parameters?

Thanks in advance. :):crazy:
 
That's a high cobalt nickel alloy, be careful about heating it if you don't have a good coolant setup. Here's some general info on grinding nickel alloys, page 20: https://www.nickelinstitute.org/media/1719/machiningnickelalloys_11008_.pdf

And try not to breath the dust, cobalt is bad to inhale, and some people have nickel sensitivity. Do you have a mist collector if you have coolant, or good HEPA filter air cleaners if you run dry?
 
Yeah, we have mist collectors, and will be running with coolant.

Thank you very much for the link! Have you personally dealt with this material?
 
Not directly, no grinding of cobalt-bearing materials except for carbide tools and the like. I try to capture the dust using HEPA filtered vacs, but I really want to make a more comprehensive setup (just have to allocate time).

Let us know how you do with your project.
 
It will likely be a month or more before I start it...our lead times are horrendous right now! But I will make sure to give an update when I do get to the project. :-)
