What is the role of metal covering of ultrahard abrasive grit ?
The nickel or copper cladding up to 60% of the total diamond or cubic boron nitride particle weight is used in resin bonds. The effect of the thick metal layer is to improve the retension of particles and to dissipate the heat generated during grinding processes. Also, thin titanium layers are used in high temperature bonds for protecting the diamond during tool manufacturing. Nickel cladded synthetic diamond Dacia.
