Modern technologies of abrasive processing of materials require the use of powders with unique properties of thermal stability and wear resistance, specific grain morphology that improves the modification process, with increased chemical and thermal resistance in the abrasive tool. The main way to solve this problem is to use synthetic diamond grinding powders and composite grinding powders based on cBN abrasive micropowders with formed thermostable wear-resistant, combined from a mixture of soluble and insoluble activated by mechano-chemical technology as abrasives in the working layer of the abrasive tool components, oxygen- and carbide-containing coatings.
The purpose of this article was to study the formation of coatings on diamond grains (and their mixtures with compacts) from 2- and 3-components, their further use in diamond grinding tools and the establishment of the most effective combined coatings to increase the wear resistance of grinding wheels and improving the roughness of the machined surface with such wheels.
The introduction of grains of compacts into the working layer of the diamond wheel (50 by 50) and the coating of the surface of the grains of this mixture worsens the wear resistance of diamond wheels. Studies have shown that with an increase in processing productivity, the surface coating of cBN grains has the effect of increasing the wear resistance of wheels, but the additional presence of compacts gives an even greater effect. It is here, in contrast to diamond wheels, that we have a positive from the introduction of compacts with a surface coated with a combination of B2O3+SiC. The main conclusion is that coating the surface of grains, both cBN and with the presence of compact grains, can give an effect on wear resistance precisely when processing productivity is increased.
