A novel composite diamond-containing dispersed material of natural and synthetic diamonds powders and abrasive tools made of it

• Novel Composite Material Based on Micron and Submicron Powders of Natural Diamond and Grinding Powders of Synthetic Diamond
• Grinding Powders Produced from Novel Diamond-Containing Composite Material. Morphometric Characteristics, Technological, Physical-Mechanical, and Electrophysical Properties of the Powders
• Grinding Wheels with the Cutting Layer Consisting of the New Abrasive Grinding Powders
• Machining Efficiency Indices: a Decrease of the Electrostatic Field Intensity, Increase of the Wear Resistance

A two-stage process of producing a novel composite material based on fine-dispersed powders of natural diamonds and mesh grinding powders of synthetic diamonds. At the first stage of producing the components mixture is compacted and at the second stage it is sintered in a gas-thermal reactor of the physicochemical synthesis plant at a temperature of 1100–1200 °C and below ambient pressure in the methane atmosphere. The values of the morphometric characteristics and the uniformity of abrasive powders in these characteristics produced from the new diamond-containing material, their physico-mechanical and electrophysical properties were studied. The results of the use of these composite powders in grinding wheels for machining a hard alloy are discussed. A substitution of powders of the new composite material for synthetic diamond mesh powders in the cutting layer of a standard grinding wheel makes it possible to essentially (more than by a factor of 3) increase the wear resistance of the tool.
