  3. Proprietary information statement • The technology material presented in this talk is available for licensing or joint product development. • None of the slides contain any confidential or proprietary information which would prevent patenting the technology.

  4. What is needed in the market? • To finishing cutting of workpieces from nonferrous metals and alloys the tool from a monocrystal of natural diamond is used. Such tools approximately in 4 times are dearer than tools from polycrystalline synthetic diamonds which are applied for usual cutting. • The purpose of the present work is creation of an inexpensive material from synthetic diamond for replacement of natural diamond in the tool for finishing cuttingInserts in toolsfor purposed cutting At present one of the most important line in solving the problem of the development of superhard materials with qualitatively and quantitatively new complex of physico-mechanical properties is the use of nanodispersed materials as the initial ones. Under the adequate conditions a unique complex of mechanical properties, e.g., a combination of very high hardness and fracture toughness, can be realized in a nanodispersed polycrystal.

  7. a b Mechanical properties of polycrystals are highly structure-sensitive, which is particularly distinct in using nanomaterials. In the present paper developed conditions of preparative treatment of diamond nanopowders, and their effective compacting, including at heightened temperature, before a sintering, are presented. Effect of prior compacting conditions on process of obtaining of qualitative polycrystals by sintering is studied. Thermobaric conditions of production of polycrystal materials based on diamond powders of nanometric range are investigated and optimized. The obtained results have allowed to develop optimum conditions of production of tool materials based on the diamond nanopowders Typical electron microscopic image of the granular structure of a diamond nanocomposite produced by sintering from the mixture of ACM5 0.1/0 diamond nanopowder and a sintering aid: a – a TEM image, b – a microfractogram

  8. Experimental results The mechanical preactivation of the initial reaction mixture by adding sintering aids allows one to essentially increase physico-mechanical characteristics of the high pressure-high temperature sintered diamond nanocomposite. In this case, the composite hardness increases by a factor of 1.7 and fracture toughness almost doubles. This is achieved first of all because of the homogeneity of the nanostructure of the sintered composite and because of the solid boundaries between diamond grains.
