This is the most interesting video I’ve seen here. I had no idea what goes into making diamond cutting tools but I have a pretty good idea now. And those grinders sure take a beating! Great job.

[@fredinit]

Mohs hardness 9 grinding wheel (aluminum oxide / corundum) against Mohs hardness 10 material - diamond. They don't want to use a diamond grinding wheel because it will cut the diamonds. They want the diamonds to protrude from the carrier matrix - which is some sort of carbide (e.g. tungsten carbide). The oven process used to make the carbide is called sintering.

[@zxggwrt]

@@fredinit Thank you! This is really interesting stuff. I know the old saying, cut diamond with diamonds, but as you know that is not the only consideration. I’d like to know more about the diamond powder that is referenced in the video. I figure its composition is a fraction actual diamond and something else like an oxide that behaves like a flux. For sintering as you describe. I’d also like to know how they crush the diamonds to the size they prefer for this powder. Neat stuff!

That "diamond powder" looks more like a mixture of diamond powder and the metal (brass? bronze?) which is going to hold it together, i.e. act as a matrix for diamond grit. Also, this "baking" is probably called "sintering" in the trade... ;-)

[@bobs_ya_runkle]

[@Factory_Monster]

[@SlyNation]

Im surprised that a simple brazing process can withstand the pressures exerted on drill bits! Something that needs a diamond tipped blade/bit is extremely tough and I wouldn't think that brazing would be strong enough to bond the metal base to the diamond metal tips. Pretty cool.

[@MrKotBonifacy]

That "diamond powder" looks more like a mixture of diamond powder and the metal (brass? bronze?) fillings, and this metal is going to hold it together, i.e. act as a matrix for diamond grit. It's the same as with "carbide tips" (saw tips or cutting inserts) - tungsten carbide (WC) or titanium carbide (TiC) are too brittle by themselves (and probably next to impossible to form into some definite shape alone), so they are always used within more elastic matrix - typically cobalt and vanadium (AFAIR).

Where did the fluting come from on the cutting edge? They were not these after coming out of the presses and there was no more pressing done afterwards, only baking. I love the paint they used.

[@dregenius]

Something I just realized is that the wear on those machines, like the lathes, grinding tools, anything with moving parts... has to be unreal.. with all that diamond dust settling on everything...

[@MrKotBonifacy]

That "whole lotta dust" is actually MOSTLY (like 99.9% I'd say) silicon carbide (SiC) dust from all these grinding stones used to smooth/ flatten the diamond grit holding matrix. While the matrix is pretty soft (bronze or brass, I reckon - maybe aluminium bronze or silicon bronze) the diamond grit wreaks havoc on much softer silicone carbide, hence the insane amount of dust - but then again nearly all of it is evacuated before it can "float around" and settle on the machinery. But some of it probably does get airborne, dunno for sure.

[@ruben_balea]

That difference may not exist in Korean, in many languages it's just different types of soldering for everything, you just specify wich type of solder, like TIG soldering, brass soldering, tin soldering, laser soldering, friction soldering and so on.

[@DrFiero]

That may be so… but the English subtitles end up being incorrect. For anyone not hip to the lingo, brazing (or hard soldering) is the act of heating two objects, then using a filler material to join them (think: glue). Welding is the act of bringing one or more objects to the point of being molten then with or without filler they are joined by the fusion of those materials.

[@RetroJack]

Not everyone has English as their first language.

[@shingabiss]

[@broughxtreme]

I used to have my own concrete cutting business so I knew what goes into making the blades. But I am VERY impressed with the grinding wheels, they mush have a high diamond content to be able to grind diamond blades. I still have a segment out of an old diamond drill which I use to reshape/reface the grinding wheels in my workshop. Put a diamond onto a normal grinding wheel and the grinding wheel disapairs.

[@Sharpless2]

The grinding weel is only grinding the carrier matrix, nothing else. This must be done in order to get the disk to actually cut, or rather scratch its way through stuff. For concrete and tiles, these disks are awesome. For everything else, they really suck.

[@krzysztofmeler]

Interesting and somehow impressive, but I see a lot of space for additional automation. This whole manufacturing process could be automated to the point where you put raw materials at the beginning of production line and take boxes ready to be shipped on the other side. I guess it is not automated because work of these people is cheaper than all the required equipment.

[@CCRoselle]

"... but I see a lot of space for additional automation." Possibly all the employees are family and there are many considerations to full automation. If your brother-in-law does not have a job he will NEVER move from your spare bedroom. EVER!

[@campbellmorrison8540]

Really impressive. I didn't realise diamond powder could be compressed like that, I didn't think it would get hard or did you not show the firing of the blades?. What sort of grinding wheel do you use for grinding diamonds?

[@MrKotBonifacy]

That "diamond powder" looks more like a mixture of diamond powder and the metal (brass? bronze?) fillings, and this metal is going to hold it together, i.e. act as a matrix for diamond grit. It's the same as with "carbide tips" (saw tips or cutting inserts) - tungsten carbide (WC) or titanium carbide (TiC) are too brittle by themselves (and probably next to impossible to form into some definite shape alone), so they are always used within more elastic matrix - typically cobalt and vanadium (AFAIR), hence different classes of inserts, dedicated to various materials (hard/ soft) and types of cut (continuous or interrupted). And then there are ceramic inserts, polycrystalline diamond inserts and cubic boron nitride inserts, but they are totally different animals (and pricey as hell too). Abrasive discs for bench grinders use (typically) a ceramic matrix, while these for angle grinders are phenol-resin bonded (hence the funny smell when cutting steel with them). Also, this "baking" is probably called "sintering" in the trade. In a nutshell, you just heat the mixture to the "below melting point" temperature. PS: At 13:43 you can see individual diamond grains - these tiny black "pimples" are diamonds, all the rest is just a matrix holding them in place. When an individual diamond piece gets too dull, the forces acting on it (while cutting whatever it has to be cut) become stronger than adhesion forces holding it in the matrix, and the grain falls off, and the matrix quickly wears off until new piece of diamond "comes out" - and so da capo al fine. However, when the material being cut is too soft there may be to little force to actually force that blunted grain out (a normal occurrence when drilling holes in glass panes), and that's why the manual calls, in such cases, to run the discs through hard material for a while to "resharpen it". Kinda counter-intuitive, but when you know "how it works" it makes sense. (In case of glass grinding core drills, the drill is pushed into a block of aluminium oxide, aka corundum, normally used as mild abrasive stone for hard steels, like HSS.)

[@campbellmorrison8540]

@@MrKotBonifacy wow what a great explanation thank you. I have seen WC inserts being made and knew they had a binder hence my question about this "diamond powder", much appreciated

[@MrKotBonifacy]

@@campbellmorrison8540 Be my guest : ) Also, I just noticed I omitted one sentence in my previous comment - nothing critical, I just forgot to add "and when the material of matrix/ binder is heated (during sintering) individual pieces of it "glue" themselves with their neighbours, akin to what happens during so-called forge welding". BTW, that "self-sharpening mechanism" works for all grinding materials - ceramic discs for bench/ die grinders and angle grinder ones as well. And, oh, "there's one more thing" ;-) I answered few other questions "like yours" here (there were more than few people asking the "about the same" but the author never answered these so I chimed in, but kinda lost track of what to whom I typed), so anyway: _"What sort of grinding wheel do you use for grinding diamonds?"_ Fro "grinding diamonds as such" a paste of diamond powder and oil (vegetable one?) is used - this is how they make gemstones of rough diamonds, but in this case here you don't really "grind diamonds" but the matrix material and a little bit of the outer part of that steel discs - for which a regular silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic bonded grinding discs are used. And they sorta-kinda manage to do just that, HOWEVER, whenever a diamond piece embedded in the matrix meets that SiC disc it just rips it apart, like a steel ripper rips soil - hence the insane amount of dust produced in the process (it's all SiC grit ripped off the grinding disc) and the rate these discs are used up in the process. But then you have to smooth and flatten the edges of these diamond discs, and SiC-ceramic discs are relatively cheap, so this is how they do it - and then there's no way around it anyway. Even if they tried to use a diamond abrasive wheels (i.e. discs with a thick layer of diamond grit embedded in brass or bronze, or in resin or rubber, which are used in machines for grinding and polishing glass pane edges and for fine-grinding of carbide tools, like tipped saws) these discs would probably get clogged with all that "non-diamond" material. Can't vouch for it, never saw it happening, but I've heard from someone running a carbide tool sharpening shop that whenever a carbide tipped circular saw requires "deep" grinding he uses regular corundum discs to remove some of the steel behind carbide tips because steel tends to clog diamond discs (in the same fashion like aluminium, which clogs regular cutting and grinding discs). And then these diamond discs I just mentioned aren't exactly cheap either, so I guess that "SiC-ceramic discs" option still comes out as the cheapest one. But this is just my educated guess, so don't take it as any Holy Revelation of sort ;-)

Anyone know what is mixed with the diamond powder that hardens and holds the diamond dust on the metal blade when they bake it?

[@Qsderto]

The solders contained powders of technically pure metals in the following approximate ratio, % (wt.): 20 Sn, 43 Cu, 25-30 Co, 7-12 W. Synthetic diamonds with a grain size of 315-400 microns are introduced into the mixture of metal powders. An aqueous solution is added to the solders as a binder a solution of polyvinyl alcohol in an amount of 12% by weight of metal powders. The samples with the applied diamond-containing mixture are dried and then annealed in vacuum or neutral gas at a temperature of 820 C with an exposure time of 40 minutes and more. p.s When you open production, invite me to work as a technology partner.

[@LegendLength]

2:40 i love that little arm

[@muddydave01]

So, what do they grind the diamond edge with?

[@MrKotBonifacy]

Looks like regular silicon carbide (SiC) grinding "stone". And it isn't grinding "diamond" edge "as such" but mostly metal - i.e. steel discs and the brass (probably brass) matrix (that darker, thicker stuff around the circumference of these discs) which holds diamond grit, so "yes, we can". But still, the diamond grit "does its job too", and it grinds down much softer SiC disc like crazy, hence this insane amount of dust.
