Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a particle abrasive of minute single crystal diamond that has mechanical strengths characteristic of diamond, a particle surface coated with non-diamond carbon formed by conversion from diamond and ≤5 μm average particle diameter. SOLUTION: The surface-modified minute diamond abrasive comprises bringing diamond particles formed by static ultra-high pressure synthesis and having ≤5 μm average particle diameter (D50 value) into close contact with an iron group metal or an iron group metal oxide, heating and keeping the diamond particles in a nonoxidizing atmosphere at
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a composite sintered body substantially comprising only diamond particles and silicon carbide(SiC) and having high strength, especially high bending strength. SOLUTION: The composite sintered body is effectively produced by the following process. Two-component mixed powder substantially consisting of diamond powder and silicon carbide powder is charged into a high purity SiC crucible, and the two-component powder is subjected to puressurizing stage at a temp. of >=1,400 deg.C under an atmosphere free from oxygen in order to convert substantially all amount of silicon contained into silicon carbide and to integrate the diamond with the formed silicon carbide by sintering.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide tip material whose joining strength to tool base material is improved and an effective method of manufacturing it. SOLUTION: 1. Sintered super abrasive grain tip material comprises a sintered super abrasive grain layer comprising its super abrasive grains adjacent to each other joined to each other through a metal layer and/or a ceramic layer or directly and a steel material layer containing carbon of 0.90% or less integrated due to sintering. 2. Sintered super abrasive grain tip material is manufactured in such a way that mixture of super abrasive grain particles and metallic and/or ceramic binder, a cemented carbide alloy disk having the same outer diameter as the inner diameter of a cylindrical body made of metal of high melting point, and a disk made of steel containing carbon of 0.90% or less are layered in the cylindrical body in this order and sealed, and then, a sintered super abrasive grain layer is formed by sintering super abrasive grain particles with each other by putting it into a super high pressure and temperature process. At the same time, this sintered super abrasive grain layer, the cemented carbide alloy disk and steel disk are jointed to each other, and a layered structural body made of sintered super abrasive grains, cemented carbide alloy and steel is recovered from the super high pressure and temperature process.
