Influence of a TiС Coating on the Wear Resistance of Fe-Diamonds Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Some diamond tools use iron in their composition, and it is known that iron is a strong catalyst for the graphitization of diamonds. This graphitization occurs mainly during the processing of composite materials - conventional sintering or hot pressing, and during cutting operations. This work studies the influence of the behavior of the wear and adhesion, of iron-diamond composites, by considering the use of TiC coated diamonds. Samples were prepared by mixing powders of Fe (40 μm) and diamond (425 μm), and subsequent hot pressing at 35MPa/900°C, for a time of 3 minutes. It was evaluated the mechanism of wear, and the behavior of the samples during diametral compression test. It was used the cumulative times of 2, 6, 12 and 20 minutes during the testing of abrasion.
