The growth properties of diamond grain were examined by Raman spectroscopy and microscope images. Diamond thin films were prepared on single crystal Si wafers by microwave Plasma chemical vapor deposition. Preparation conditions, substrate temperature, boron concentration and deposition time were controlled differently. Prepared diamond thin films have different surface morphology and grain size respectively Diamond grain size was gradually changed by substrate temperature. The biggest diamond grain size was observed in the substrate, which has highest temperature. The diamond grain size by boron concentration was slightly changed but morphology of diamond grain became amorphous according to increasing of boron concentration. Time was also needed to be a big diamond grain. However, time was not a main factor for being a big diamond grain. Raman spectra of diamond film, which was deposited at high substrate temperature, showed sharp peaks at 1334$cm^{-1}$ / and these were characteristics of crystalline diamond. A broad peak centered at 1550$cm^{-1}$ /, corresponding to non-diamond component (sp$^2$carbon), could be observed in the substrate, which has low temperature.

Characterization of an ultra precision grinding plate for GMR head manufacturing is performed by measuring frictional forces between the grinding plate and the advanced ceramic Two kinds of methods of producing the precision grinding plates are presented: texturing and micro-channeling. Texturing is effective in terms of production time but micro-channeling excels in quality control. It is found that the frictional coefficient of a precision grinding plate decreases as the impregnation of diamond grain onto the precision-grinding plate progresses, and remains unchanged once the impregnation process is successfully completed, even after 100 revolutions of the precision-grinding plate against the advanced ceramic under 40 N of normal force. Therefore, the measurement of the frictional coefficient can replace costly and time-consuming process of estimating the level of impregnation of diamond grain on the precision-grinding plate, which has been performed by using scanning electron microscope, and be employed as an index to determine the level of impregnation of diamond grain.

Development of diamond wheel with fine grains and multi-pore structures were newely attempted to be studied in this paper. Wheels, that are employed for the smooth and mirrow finishing of die materials such as tungsten carbide alloy using tool and die materials, must have both performances to remove tool marks efficiently and to contact elastically with curved surfaces. Diamond abrasive grains were bonded firmly by a melamine to prevent the decrease of machining efficiency due to grain sinking within the bond materials. Also, highly foamed structures were developed to increase the flexibility of the wheel, and to induce active self-sharpening by increasing contact pressure between the wheel and work sufaces. In this paper, melamine-bonded diamond wheels are trial manufactured, then the forming method of wheels are explained.

To grow the diamond films by using RF-MW mix-process, at first, diamond seeds were deposited on silicon substrate by RF plasma CVD, and then a diamond layer grown by MW plasma CVD on the seeds. The grain-size of diamond films deposited by using HF-MW mix-process was smaller and denser than those of the MW plasma CVD process. The deposited diamond films were analyzed by scanning electron microscophy, X-ray diffractometer and Raman spectroscopy.

In sawing operation of synthetic jewelry, the performance of diamond cutter blade is very dependent on the blade variables. This investigation presents ecperimental results which show the effects of the blade variables such as types of diamond abrasives, grain size of diamond, concentration, and bond materials on the beavior of te blades. Based on the experimental results an optimum blade condition for the sawing of cubic zirconia was recommended.

In this work, powder metallurgy and severe plastic deformation by high-pressure torsion (HPT) approaches were combined to achieve both full density and grain refinement at the same time. Pure Cu powders were mixed with 5 and 10 vol% diamonds and consolidated into disc-shaped samples at room temperature by HPT at 1.25 GPa and 1 turn, resulting in ultrafine grained metallic matrices embedded with diamonds. Neither heating nor additional sintering was required with the HPT process so that in situ consolidation was successfully achieved at ambient temperature. Significantly refined grain structures of Cu metallic matrices with increasing diamond volume fractions were observed by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), which enhanced the microhardness of the Cu-diamond composites.

$WC-3%(Cr_3C_2)-2%(Mo_2C)-12%Ni$ carbides were ground with three different types of electroplated diamond wheels with respect to grain friability. The grinding ratio in the case of the highest toughness grains, A becomes the highest at the workpiece speeds of 40 and 70mm/min exhibiting larger effect with smaller workpiece speed. The grinding ratio with the medium toughness grain is higher than that of grain A at higher workpiece speeds than 100mm/min. The surface roughness becomes smaller with increasing the grain friability The increasing rate on surface roughness with the increase of workpiece speed becomes higher with using the grain of lower friability.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed to study the stress induced grain boundary migration caused by the interaction of dislocations with a gain boundary. The simulation was carried out in a Ni block (295020 atoms) with a ∑ = 5 (210) grain boundary and an embedded atom potential for Ni was used for the MD calculation. Stress was provided by indenting a diamond indenter and the interaction between Ni surface and diamond indenter was assumed to have a fully repulsive force to emulate a faction free surface. Results showed that the indentation nucleated perfect dislocations and the dislocations produced stacking faults in the form of a parallelepiped tube. The parallelepiped tube consisted of two pairs of parallel dislocations with Shockley partials and was produced successively during the penetration of the indenter. The dislocations propagated along the parallelepiped slip planes and fully merged onto the ∑ = 5 (210) grain boundary without emitting a dislocation on the other grain. The interaction of the dislocations with the grain boundary induced the migration of the grain boundary plane in the direction normal to the boundary plane and the migration continued as long as the dislocations merged onto the grain boundary plane. The detailed mechanism of the conservative motion of atoms at the gram boundary was associated with the geometric feature of the ∑ = 5 (210) grain boundary.

A revolutionary "Active Braze Coated Diamond" (ABCD) has been developed for bonding diamond grits firmly in the metal matrix. The molten braze is wetted and reacted with diamond to form strong chemical bond at the interface so that the diamond does not become knocked out of tools. The ABC is a nickel alloy that can form metallurgical diffusion bondswith the metal matrix. In essence, ABCD turns diamond into a metal grain so that the diamond tools can be made by conventional powder metallurgical process without being concerned about the poor bonding between matrix metal powder and the diamond as before.
