WC\/W2C particles in the bond)\u2026.or\u2026..we do improve diamonds\u2019 retention within metal bonds (e.g. by using Ti clad coated diamonds).<\/p><p>Both ways have to be carefully tuned.<\/p><p>Indeed, a metal bond showing too high wear resistance may lead to a dramatic reduction of diamonds\u2019 protrusions. This is what we commonly call: \u201cthe Glazing Effect\u201d.<\/p><p>On the other hand, if diamond\u2019s retention within metal bonds becomes too strong; risk is high to observe most of diamonds polishing and\/or crushing flat on tools\u2019 working surface.<\/p><p>No need to say both phenomena\u2019s are highly detrimental to diamond tools cutting

It requests certain know-how and a good control of the encapsulation process. Indeed, metal layer thickness around each crystal must be well defined and matrix composition close to each crystal (i.e. matrix #1) must be metallurgically\/chemically compatible with main matrix (i.e. matrix #2).<\/p><p>However it is much easier to apply, using coarser diamond grids is more expensive (because of higher coarse grid costs) and risks are higher to get more pull-outs, polished and\/or flat crushed diamonds during cutting cycles. Moreover, it is well known among tool makers that coarse diamond grids are inefficient for cutting hard stones like granite, quartzite, basalt, etc. In few words: there is an actual problem of universality (and\/or versatility).<\/p><p>On the other hand, use of encapsulated diamonds in cutting tools offers an excellent solution to versatility problem.
