Attaining a superior finish in stellite with lapping emeries

We currently use 36-grade emeries for lapping stellite. Machining time is also quite high. Is there any other emery grades to attain a superior finish in stellite and also to reduce the machining time.

Try using ceramic abrasives.
On stellite they seem to do better than even CBN.
