Abstract
The paper presents mechanical properties of materials used as matrices in diamond impregnated tools. Several powder metallurgy materials were manufactured by the hot press process from various combinations of cobalt (Co SMS, Co Extrafine, Co 400mesh), carbonyl iron (Fe CN) and tungsten (WP30) powders. After consolidation the specimens were tested for density, hardness and tensile properties. The fracture surfaces and materials’ microstructure were observed using the Jeol JSM- 5400 scanning electron microscope and the Leica DM4000 light microscope. The main objective of the work was to determine the effects of the mean particle size of cobalt as well as additions of iron and tungsten on properties of the as-consolidated material.
