Surface roughness of
diamond and CBN crystals
The surface roughness of diamond
or CBN grits is an indicator for
    the retaining behaviour inside
    the bond and/or the coating

    the breakdown behaviour

    the shaping of cutting edges
    and the cutting behaviour
Coatings for diamond and CBN crystals
   tasks of coatings are
         increase of mechanical clamping
         heat diversion

   coatings can be made out of
         Ag – coating
         Cr – spikes
         Cu – coating
         Ni – coating
         Ni/P – coating
         Ti – coating
         glass – coating

   guarantor for best use is the adaption of
