Abstract

A three-step process for producing a composite diamond film is presented. Plasma deposited diamonds are reinforced by an electroplated metal binder and the diamonds regrown to produce a continuous, strongly adhered diamond film on molybdenum and tungsten substrates. Microscratching and pin-on-disk testing indicate that the composite films are more adherent than plasma deposited diamonds alone.
