New Diamond-Based Superhard Materials. Production and Properties. Review

Resumo

The authors describe the processes that are integral to the production of diamond polycrystals and provide characterization of precursor materials. The methods of producing diamond-based polycrystalline and composite materials are outlined, and the factors that have an influence on the composition and properties of such materials are analyzed. Some new approaches to the production of diamond-based superhard materials of various functionalities are discussed.
