The Development History of Diamond Tools-001

 

People discovered natural diamonds a long time ago. The crystal clear and colorful intuitive optical properties of gem grade diamonds make people naturally regard them as precious decorations. With the development of modern science, various special properties of diamond have been discovered one after another, and thus the industrial application of diamond has begun - it is made into diamond tools for processing purposes or used for other non processing purposes.

In the early days, diamond tools were made by hand inlay, which mechanically fastened large diamond particles to the tool handle through cold riveting. Obviously, this method has the disadvantages of weak fixation and inability to utilize fine diamond particles; Later, diamond tools made by bronze casting method emerged, which had even more fatal drawbacks - diamonds would shatter due to sudden heating, drift due to their light weight, and could not be positioned at all.

In the 1930s, powder metallurgy technology began to enter the diamond tool manufacturing industry, triggering a technological revolution in diamond tool manufacturing processes; Subsequently, electroplated metal bonding agents, resin bonding agents, ceramic bonding agents, and their composite bonding agents diamond tools were successively manufactured.

 

(1) Various particle sizes of diamonds can be utilized, up to micro powders;
(2) The performance of the binder matrix can be adjusted within a large range to meet different processing requirements;
(3) The binder matrix firmly holds the diamond and has a long service life for the tool;
(4) Can manufacture tools with complex shapes;
(5) The manufacturing process is simple, cost-effective, and efficient.

In the 1960s, the industrialization of synthetic diamond led to the rapid development and popularization of diamond tools, which are now widely used in industries such as building materials, petroleum, geology, metallurgy, machinery, electronics, ceramics, wood, and automobiles.

 

Since the 1950s, when diamond and CBN superhard abrasives were artificially synthesized, superhard material products (diamond, CBN) have experienced rapid development. Starting from now on, our company (www.chinadiatools.com) will share some knowledge about diamond tool manufacturing processes and formulas with everyone. The information shared on this website comes from the public Internet information, which is also for exchange and learning.
