Characteristics of electroplated nickel layer on tungsten carbide

Diamond coating on tungsten carbide (WC-Co) cuttin g tools with cobalt binder experiences delaminating failure due to the deleter ious effect of cobalt. One of the methods used to reduce this effect is by coating an interlayer onto the substrate surface prior to diamond deposition. Diff...
