Ferrous Ball-Milled Powders for the Fabrication of Sintered Diamond Tools

Abstract:

The work presents the possibility of application of inexpensive iron-base powders in the production of sintered diamond tools. It has been shown that ball-milled Fe-Ni-Cu-Sn-C and Fe-Mn-Cu-Sn-C powders can be consolidated to a virtually pore-free condition by hot pressing at 900°C. The as-consolidated materials are characterised by a combination of high hardness, mechanical strength and resistance to abrasion. Their properties can be widely modified by changing the milling time.
