Elements of Diamond Tools Development Used in the Technology of Building Materials Processing

The publication presents a timeline for the development of the industrial application of diamonds in the production of machining tools used for cutting, drilling and surface treatment of stone, concrete and ceramic materials. The development of industrial production of synthetic diamond powders used for the production of diamond segments, which are equipped with technological machining tools, is indicated. The technical parameters of diamonds have directed the technology of their production and the technology of improving their technological features in the field of producing more and more effective grains of synthetic diamonds and working segments. In order to increase the efficiency of work of tools equipped with diamond segments, the analysis was carried out and directions of searching for ways to increase the efficiency of their work were indicated. For this purpose, a model of the work of diamond grain working on a metallic binder was presented, and the methods of increasing the efficiency and quality of machining depending on the design of machining tools and technological parameters of their application were presented.
