DIAMOND COMPOSITE AND A METHOD OF MAKING A DIAMOND COMPOSITE

摘要

The present invention relates to a diamond composite comprising diamond particles embedded in a binder matrix comprising SiC and a Mn+1AXn-phase, where no diamond-to-diamond bonding are present. For the Mn+1AXn-phase n=1-3, M is one or more elements selected from the group Sc, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr and Mo, A is one or more elements selected from the group Al, Si, P, S, Ga, Ge, As, Cd, In, Sn, Tl, and Pb and X is carbon and/or nitrogen.
