Abstract: Two diametrically opposed locking bars (18) have relatively offset locking projections (19) so that each tip of an opposing projection reaches into a common plane to enable the lock plug (3) to rotate. The bars have oblique flanks to controllably displace each bar from its locking recess (13,16) in the closing movement. The side profiles of the lock key (4) are made up of arcuate grooves (25) and the crest line of the feeler heads (19) conforms to the groove shape. The displacement plane of the bars (18) is spaced from the diametral plane. The key tip has control ramps in roof shape to issue into the broad sides of the key.

Abstract: The invention has the principal object of providing a loose mass of minute abrasive diamond particles and an effective method for producing the same. The diamond particles meet at the same time these requirements for a slurry abrasive to be used in machining processes: (1) efficient removal of the work material per time, (2) minimized finished surface roughness, and (3) least of the diamond particles left as sticking on the surface of rather soft work material. The diamond particles of the invention have a nominal size of 5  mu m or less by D50 measurement and comprise an explicit thermal effect on the crystal structure due to a heat treatment at a temperature at least of 1000 DEG  C. Further they are deposited on the surfaces with non-diamond carbon which amounts totally to 0.5%, at least, by weight relative to the whole diamond particles. The method of the invention is in particular adapted for producing the diamond abrasive particles of modified properties. The method comprises: providing diamond particles of a D50 average particle size of 50 nm or greater and subjecting said diamond particles to a heat treatment at a temperature at least of 1000 DEG  C either in a non-oxidizing atmosphere or in a vacuum, and converting in part said diamond to non-diamond carbon.
