V. Jokanovic et al., Oxidation of metallic binder powder and its influence on mechanical properties metal-diamond composite, MATER T JIM, 41(4), 2000, pp. 492-498
In this paper, the properties of metallic binders based on Co, Fe, bronze a
nd their influence on mechanical characteristics of metallic binder-diamond
composites, obtained by hot pressing of these powders, were analyzed. At t
he same time, the influence of the metallic powder aging process on the mec
hanical characteristics of metallic binder compacts and corrosion of diamon
d grain, conditioned by the oxygen bonded to metallic powder particles, wer
e separately considered.
