The novel graphite/diamond composite material (Gradia) possesses ultrahardness, toughness, and semiconductive properties. However, the difference in mechanical properties between its diamond and graphite components makes surface finishing challenging. This study investigated the material removal characteristics of Gradia through experiments and molecular dynamic simulations. The results showed that the main mechanism of phase transformation during mechanical polishing was amorphization, as the graphite and diamond phases of Gradia interconverted under mechanical action. This study also demonstrated the creation of a Gradia tool with a lower wear rate and an unusual self-lubricating characteristic due to the abrasion-induced generation of graphite.
Novel graphite/diamond composite (Gradia) is ultrahard, tough and semiconductive. Surface finishing of Gradia is difficult because of the disparity in mechanical properties between diamond and graphite components. In this work, material removal characteristics of Gradia in mechanical polishing were studied with experiments and molecular dynamic simulations. First, the Gradia surface was well-finished. Then, microstructural investigation showed the main mechanism of phase transformation was amorphization during polishing. The graphite and diamond phases of Gradia underwent interconversion under the mechanical action. In addition, initial and diamond-transformed graphitic phases experienced distortion, twist and reconstruction, producing graphite film. Finally, a Gradia tool was created and demonstrated a lower wear rate than single-crystal diamond tool, suggesting an unusual self-lubricating characteristic with abrasion-induced generation of graphite.
