Coated Powders – MDP, RDP & cBNP

Nickel and Copper Coated Products

Coated powder increases particle retention in most bond systems. It also facilitates heat dissipation within the bond system, resulting in longer tool life. We offer MDP, RDP, and cBNP powders with either a Nickel or a Copper electroless coating.

Feature

  • Nickel 30% or 56% by weight
  • Copper 50% by weight
  • Used to enhance bond retention
  • Allows for better heat dissipation
  • Ideal for electroplating, polyimide, and phenolic bonding systems

Nickel Electroless Coatings: Enhancing MDP, RDP, and cBNP Powders

When it comes to maximizing the performance of Metal Diamond Powder (MDP), Resin Diamond Powder (RDP), and Cubic Boron Nitride Powder (cBNP), nickel electroless coatings can play a pivotal role. Nickel electroless coatings offer uniform deposition of metal onto the surface of these powders, leading to significant improvements in their overall performance and functionality. Here’s a further breakdown of the impact and versatility of our nickel-coated powders:

MDP

Nickel electroless coatings on MDP can increase particle retention in most bond systems. This enhanced adhesion between the diamond particles and the metal bond matrix can improve the grinding efficiency and lifespan of tools made with MDP.

RDP

For RDP, nickel electroless coatings can enhance the mechanical interlocking between the resin bond and diamond, thereby improving the grinding performance and durability of resin-bonded diamond tools.

cBNP

When applied to CBNP, nickel electroless coatings can enhance the wettability and bonding strength between the cBN particles and the metal bond matrix. This can lead to improved grinding performance and increased lifespan of cBN tools.

Copper Electroless Coatings: Boosting Performance of MDP, RDP, and cBNP Powders

Copper electroless coatings offer a range of benefits that help increase particle retention in most bond systems, boost their overall performance, and maximize their potential in various applications. Harness the power of Advanced Abrasives’ copper electroless coatings to enhance the performance of your Metal Diamond Powder (MDP), Resin Diamond Powder (RDP), and Cubic Boron Nitride Powder (cBNP).

MDP

Coating MDP with copper enhances its adhesion to metal-bonded matrices. This improved adhesion increases the grinding efficiency and lifespan of tools made with MDP. The copper coating also helps protect the diamond from graphitization at high temperatures, ensuring the hardness and wear resistance of MDP are maintained.

RDP

For RDP, copper electroless coatings improve thermal conductivity and electrical properties, making them more suitable for electronic applications. The coating also helps to strengthen the mechanical interlocking between the resin bond and diamond, which improves the grinding performance and durability of resin-bonded diamond tools.

cBNP

The copper coating on cBNP enhances the wettability and bonding strength between the cBN particles and the metal bond matrix, thus improving the grinding performance and lifespan of cBN tools. Moreover, the copper coating can protect the cubic structure of cBN from transforming into the hexagonal structure at high temperatures.
