Titanium chromium alloy coated diamond crystals for use in saw blade segments and method for their production

摘要

Diamond particles are coated with a Ti metal to form Ti metal coated diamond particles product by contacting the diamond particles with an alloy of the following composition, Ti(1-x)Crx, where 0.05≤x≤0.5, at a temperature of less than about 850 DEG C and for a time sufficient for the alloy to coat the diamond particles. The resulting coated diamond particles have an average particle size ranging from about 5 to 800 mu m and are coated with metal coating composed of an inner carbide layer enriched in Cr content and an outer layer depleted in Cr content.
