Manufacture of tips for diamond burnishing and dressing probes for abrasive wheels with a diamond composition thermal material AKTM (R)
A thermally sound composite material, consisting of polycrystalline diamond and silicon carbide, namely the AKTM(R) aggregate, was developed at the Institute for Superhard Materials of the National Academy of Ukraine. Its improved physical and mechanical properties make it suitable for a wide range of material removal operations. In the present paper the manufacture and the performance of the material on industrial applications are discussed. (C) 2003 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
