“…These features make HEAs stand out among the conventional alloys and also make them highly in demand in the production of metal–diamond composites for abrasive or thermoconductive needs. In recent years, a number of works have been published that reveal the potential of HEAs as a binder for diamond tools, which is associated with a combination of their high strength, ductility and, as a result, high diamond retention strength and better tool performance [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Among other positive features, these works show the possibility of intermediate carbide layer formation, performing a protective function.…”
