DIAMOND GRINDING WHEEL AND DIAMOND GRINDING METHOD, GROUND DIAMOND BODY OBTAINED THEREBY, SINGLE-CRYSTAL DIAMOND, SINTERED DIAMOND BODY, COMPOSITE DIAMOND GRINDING WHEEL, AND DIAMOND GRINDING WHEEL SEGMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain an inexpensive grinding wheel for diamond and a diamond grinding method capable of grinding single crystal diamond, diamond thin film, sintered diamond body or the like at low temperature without causing cracking, fracture, or deterioration, maintaining stable performance of an abrasive, and attaining stable grinding quality by simple operation. ;SOLUTION: This diamond grinding wheel has major constituents formed out of an intermetallic compound of one or more elements selected out of a group of Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and one or more elements selected out of a group of Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Mo, Ta, W. This diamond grinding method includes pressing the grinding wheel against the diamond relatively rotating or moving the grinding wheel at room temperature or, as necessary, while heating a portion to be ground to 100 to 800C.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
