Abstract
A cutting tool or wear surface having diamond particles chromium mounted thereon. The diamond particles are preferably less than approximately 1,000 nanometers in length. Chromium or chromium like material is preferably mounted to an article through immersion in a bath and electroplating, amongst other techniques.
Claims19
An article for use in cutting or as a wear surface, comprising:
- a body having a first surface thereon;
- diamond particles;
- and
- a chromium containing material coupling said diamond particles to said first surface of said body;
- wherein said coupling material is at least 40% chromium by weight.
A method of making an article for use in cutting or as a wear surface, comprising the steps of:
- providing an article body having a first surface;
- providing diamond particles;
- and
- mounting said diamond particles to said first surface with a chromium containing material in a non-sintered process;
- wherein said diamond particle providing step includes the step of providing diamond particles that are substantially between 500 and 0.05 nanometers in length.
A method of making an article for use in cutting or as a wear surface, comprising the steps of:
- providing an article body having a first surface;
- providing diamond particles;
- and
- mounting said diamond particles to said first surface with a chromium containing material in a non-sintered process;
- wherein said mounting step includes the step of preparing a bath including said chromium containing material and dipping said first surface of said article body into said bath.
A method of making an article for use in cutting or as a wear surface, comprising the steps of:
- providing an article body having a first surface;
- providing diamond particles;
- and
- mounting said diamond particles to said first surface with a chromium containing material in a non-sintered process;
- wherein said mounting step comprises the step of electroplating said chromium containing material to said first surface of said article body.
