Abstract :

It is well known that, at elevated temperatures, diamonds are easily eroded by oxygen, oxygen compounds, molten KNO3, and hydrogen, hence becoming easily degraded. Our experimental research shows that in high-temperature sintering of diamond/vitrified bond wheel prepared by 3D printing, oxidization of diamond grit occurs. This produces numerous pores in the matrix that weaken the retaining force of the grits and the bending strength of the composites. Coating the diamond surface with a barrier layer is practical in protecting the grit from degradation at high temperatures in oxidizing and corrosive environments. Cubic phase Si with high thermal stability was deposited on diamond girts and effectively protected the grits from being oxidized.
