Analysis of the Relationship between the Wear and the Thermoelectric Potential of YT30 Cemented Carbide

The thermoelectric potential is the one of the major physical properties of material, and it is easy to be measured without damaging the material. The analysis and the test about the relationship between the wear and the thermoelectric potential of YT30 cemented carbide inserts have been finished in this paper. The influence rules and the influence extent of thermoelectric potential to the wear have been emphasized. Then the new method of forecasting the life of cemented carbide has been also discussed.
