The methods of making diamond tools have undergone a remarkable development since the invention of synthetic diamond in the mid-1950s. The current review summarises key historical, recent and ongoing trends and developments in sintered diamond tools. The report concentrates on tools used within the stone and construction industries which, being the main consumers of metal-bonded diamond tools fabricated by powder metallurgy (P/M) technology, have always fuelled advances in tool design and production technologies.

The paper is concerned with determining the influence of the laser treatment process on the properties of electro-spark coatings. The properties of the coatings after laser treatment were assessed based on following methods: microstructure and X-ray diffraction analysis, adhesion tests, roughness measurement, hardness tests, tribological properties and application tests. The tests were carried out on WC-Co coating (the anode) obtained by electro-spark deposition over carbon steel C45 (the cathode) and molten with a laser beam. The coatings were deposited by means of the EIL-8A and they were laser treated with the Nd:YAG. The tests show that the laser-treated electro-spark deposited WC-Co coatings are characterized by lower hardness, higher seizure resistance, roughness and adhesion. The laser treatment process causes the homogenization of the chemical composition, the structure refinement and the healing of microcracks and pores of the electro-spark deposited coatings. Laser treated electro-spark deposited coatings are likely to be applied in sliding friction pairs and as protective coatings.

Szybki rozwój technologii wytwarzania narzędzi metaliczno-diamentowych nastąpił pod koniec lat 50, bezpośrednio po opanowaniu syntezy diamentu na skalę przemysłową. Do końca lat 80, czynnikiem ograniczającym wykorzystanie spiekanych narzędzi diamentowych była bardzo wysoka cena syntetycznego surowca. Późniejszy postęp w projektowaniu wysokociśnieniowych pras umożliwił masową produkcję tanich proszków diamentu. Do połowy lat 90 jako osnowę w spiekach metaliczno-diamentowych powszechnie wykorzystywano kobalt i jego stopy. Drastyczny spadek cen diamentu sprawił, że udział proszków metalicznej osnowy w surowcowych kosztach produkcji narzędzi wzrósł z kilku do kilkudziesięciu %. Dodatkowym czynnikiem, który zachęcił do poszukiwania nowych, tańszych materiałów osnowy, była rosnąca i niestabilna cena kobaltu. W wyniku prac zainicjowanych w latach 90, do chwili obecnej opracowano wiele nowych proszków osnowy, wytwarzanych na bazie żelaza lub miedzi. Równolegle z postępem w zakresie produkcji diamentu i proszków osnowy, opracowano też nowe narzędzia oraz metody ich wytwarzania. Na uwagę zasługuje ciągłe doskonalenie linowej piły diamentowej jako uniwersalnego narzędzia oraz opanowanie metod precyzyjnego pozycjonowania kryształów diamentu w metalicznej osnowie.

The methods of making diamond tools have undergone a remarkable development since the invention of synthetic diamond in the late 1950s. Until the late 1980s, the diamond tool industry had been mainly threatened by a very high cost of diamond. The forthcoming rapid improvements in high pressure equipment and its large-scale implementation for diamond synthesis resulted in tremendous price cuts on the diamond supply side. Until the mid-1990s cobalt-based matrix powders were commonly used in fabrication of sintered diamond tools. The marked decrease in the price of synthetic diamond drastically increased the contribution of cobalt to the overall tool fabrication costs. The sharp rise and instability in the price of cobalt initiated an intensive search for cheaper matrix materials. Since the 1990s a large number of iron- and copper-base powders has been developed to cater for the wide diversity of tool manufacturing techniques and application conditions. Concurrently, new types of tools and tool manufacturing routes have been developed and refined. Continuous improvements of the diamond wire saw and its use as a versatile tool, as well as implementation of methods of positioning diamond crystals within the matrix are worthy of mention.
