COATED ABRASIVES

摘要

A coated super-hard abrasive comprises a core of super-hard abrasive material, which is typically diamond or cBN based, an inner layer of a metal carbide, nitride, boride, boronitride or carbonitride chemically bonded to an outer surface of the super-hard abrasive material and one or more outer layers of a metal carbide, nitride, boride or carbonitride physically deposited on the inner layer. In the case of a single outer layer, the single outer layer has a composition gradient extending through its thickness, and in the case of more than one outer layer, the composition of each layer is different to provide a gradient of material through the various layers. In the case of several outer layers, each layer may also include a composition gradient.
