Brazed diamond tools and methods for making the same

摘要

Superabrasive tools and methods for the making thereof are disclosed and described. In one aspect, superabrasive particles are chemically bonded to a matrix support material according to a predetermined pattern by a braze alloy. The brazing alloy may be provided as a powder, thin sheet, or sheet of amorphous alloy. A template having a plurality of apertures arranged in a predetermined pattern may be used to place the superabrasive particles on a given substrate or matrix support material.

主权项

1. A superabrasive tool having a superabrasive impregnated segment, comprising:
a metal matrix sheet comprising an infiltrated metal powder configured for bonding superabrasive particles; a plurality of superabrasive particles each chemically bonded to the metal matrix at specific positions according to a predetermined pattern, where the particles are spaced apart from one another in a uniform grid, and wherein the particles protrude above the metal matrix sheet with equal height; and an overlay material affixed to the metal matrix sheet.
