Popis: The manifestation of Rebinder effect in abrasive machining of sapphire has been studied versus coolant pH. The change of pH from neutral to acidic results in an 1.8 times higher rate of grinding with a bound abrasive. An alkaline medium also facilitates the workpiece surface attrition by a bound abrasive. The use of an acidic solution as a coolant leads to an increase in efficiency of polishing sapphire, while an alkaline one lowers the polishing efficiency.
