Types of metal powders for diamond segment
In summary, metal powders play a crucial role in diamond segment manufacturing by serving as binders to secure diamond particles onto the tool's substrate. Commonly used metal elements for this purpose include nickel, cobalt, iron, chromium, titanium, copper, zinc, silver, vanadium, tungsten, tin, nickel-chromium alloy, zirconium, silicon, molybdenum, niobium, and tantalum. The choice of metal powder depends on the specific performance requirements and applications of the diamond tool. These metal powders ensure that diamond tools exhibit essential properties such as hardness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity.
