Preparation of nanoscale particles and coatings on the basis of copper, carbon and silicon by the abrasive-reactive wear method

An abrasive-reactive wear technology has been developed that utilizes wear debris as an integral component of the reaction system rather than treating it as a harmful impurity; this technology is applied to the processing of low-grade diamond and silicon by cupric milling tools, and an abnormal influence of graphite on wear degree is established.
