Abstract:
1. A method of making a caustic-resistive superabrasive tool, comprising: disposing a plurality of superabrasive particles partially within a temporary support substrate including a reactive source, such that the plurality of superabrasive particles extend at least partially from an interface surface of the temporary support substrate; applying a green support matrix material including a reactive element to the interface surface of the temporary support substrate such that the green support matrix material contacts the plurality of superabrasive particles; curing the green support matrix material to form a support matrix such that a protective layer is formed in situ along substantially all of the interface surface between the temporary support substrate and the support matrix, the protective layer being formed by reaction between the reactive source and the reactive element; and removing at least a portion of the temporary support substrate to expose the protective layer.
