Abstract

Doping of the diamond–(WC–Co) composite material by the chemical elements Ti, Zr, V, Ta, Nb, Cr, Mo, Ni, Re, Os, Si, and B is considered. The influence of each element on the composition, structure, and properties of the (WC–Co)-matrix and the interface between the diamond and the (WC–Co)-matrix is considered. The potential of doping with a combination of nickel, chromium, and silicon is demonstrated.
