Abstract: In accordance with a method of producing metal sinter bodies, the bodies are provided with degassing openings which are made preferably before sintering of an initial press body part.

Abstract: A saw comprises a saw blade having an outer edge, and a diamond-containing coating carried on the outer edge of the saw blade, the saw blade being composed of a synthetic plastic reinforced with a fiber material composed of a plurality of fibers with a volume fraction of 30-70%.

Abstract: A grinding or separating tool has a base body with a synthetic plastic max and a plurality of reinforcing fibers, a working coating a plurality of hard grains, and an intermediate layer applied on the base body and located between the base body and the working coating so that the fibers of the base body extend outwardly beyond the plastic matrix of the base body and are embedded in the intermediate layer.

Abstract: A grinding wheel for deep grinding comprises a main body, and a diamond coating on the main body, the diamond coating including a first coating part with fine grain diamonds and a second coating part with diamonds of greater size, the second coating being composed of a plurality of diamond grains which are arranged in one layer as considered in a direction parallel to a feeding direction of the diamond wheel and in a plurality of layers as considered in a direction perpendicular to the feeding direction, the diamond grains of the second coating part being arranged in direct contact with one another and held in a galvanically deposited binder.

Abstract: Grinding of non-round workpieces with plunge cutting on circular grinding machines is performed by a grinding disc which is coupled with a dressing roller and which is also kinematically coupled to a workpiece, so that the grinding is performed in condition of the kinematic coupling.

Abstract: Apparatus for exhibiting grains of precious stone comprises in a container assembly at least two communicating compartments, which communicate with each other through at least one passageway, which constitutes a singling path for grains of precious stone. That communicating passageway is constricted so as to permit singled grains having a given size to move freely through the passageway. The container assembly contains an aggregation of grains of precious stone. The at least two compartments communicating with each other have different elevations. The communicating passageway is defined by a slideway, which is inclined from the vertical, or constitutes a path for a free fall of grains of precious stone from the aggregation. Such apparatus can be used as a sales display container, an ornament, or a gift article.
