Modeling of new superhard carbon materials based on fullerenes and nanotubes

A brief overview of the current state of theoretical research aimed at finding superhard materials based on carbon fullerenes and nanotubes is presented. Information is presented on the elastic properties of the main classes of condensed phases formed during the interaction of fullerenes and (and) nanotubes both due to weak (van der Waals type) bonds and as a result of their polymerization with the emergence of strong covalent sp³ bonds. Models of new hypothetical carbon nanostructured materials (the so-called autointercalated hyperdiamonds, covalent lattices of tubes, cubic crystals of tubes, etc.) are discussed. Their elastic characteristics are considered in relation to their atomic structure, features of the electronic structure and chemical bonding. The problems of synthesis of these systems are briefly considered.

Keywords: fullerenes, nanotubes, crystalline phases, hardness, atomic structure, chemical bonding, modeling.

Study of the properties of chromium-diamond coatings based on detonation nanodiamonds from various manufacturers

The article presents the studied dependence of the most important operational parameters of chromium-nanodiamond coatings on the quality of the studied detonation nanodiamonds and the method of their dispersion in an aqueous suspension. It is shown that the best result in terms of microhardness of coatings in the hard chromium plating mode is achieved using nanodiamonds produced by NanoCarbon Research Institute (Japan), which actually form a dispersion of individual particles (≈ 4-5 nm) in water, and the best wear resistance of chromium-nanodiamond coatings is provided by using detonation nanodiamonds produced by FSUE SKTB Technolog (Russia).

Keywords: chromium-nanodiamond coatings, detonation nanodiamonds, properties, dispersion, microhardness, wear resistance.

On the Effect of Surface Properties of Metallic Melt on the Process of Diamond Formation in the Me-C System

The results of a study of the contact interaction of Ni-Mn melt with pyrographite depending on the content of Cu and Cr additives in it are presented. Such physicochemical parameters as the surface tension of liquid Ni-Mn-Cu and Ni-Mn-Cr melts and the wetting angle of graphite are determined. The surface energy at the metal-graphite interface and the expected interfacial energy at the diamond-metallic melt interface are calculated. The effect of these quantities under conditions of high p, T parameters on the process of diamond formation in the Ni-Mn-Cu-C and Ni-Mn-Cr-C systems is established.

Features of the cutting process on the first and last revolution of the part when entering and exiting the cutter

A method for calculating stresses in the cutter during its cutting in and exiting the part is described. It is established that during the first and last revolutions of the part, the front angle of the tool differs significantly from the values ​​characteristic of stationary turning. Changes in the front angle affect the magnitude and sign of stresses on the front and rear surfaces of the cutter, and taking it into account allows calculating stresses and subsequently assessing the probability of tool failure.

Keywords: cutting in and exiting the tool, stress calculation, cutting edge rounding, front angle, chip shrinkage, round diamond-carbide plate.

Interpretation and applied aspects of various morphological characteristics of powders on dhard materials

The results of the study of the information and geometric essence of the latest morphological characteristics of powders of superhard materials and the degree of their sensitivity to changes in powder quality are presented. A new original method for indirect determination of the average value of the sharpening angle of the cutting edges of abrasive powder grains is presented.
