如今的工程陶瓷生产商面临着更严格的公差、更高的表面光洁度和生产率。这些要求强调了耐用金刚石工具的开发，该工具能够实现高的去除率，同时使表面保持在公差范围内，并表现出大多数应用所需的平滑度和均匀性。工具性能的一个关键组成部分是用于将钻石固定到工作表面的粘合方法。本文回顾了常用粘接方法的性能，并重点介绍了新的发展。

TODAY'S PRODUCERS OF ENGINEERED CERAMICS ARE FACED WITH ACHIEVING TIGHTER TOLERANCES, IMPROVED SURFACE FINISH, AND PRODUCTIVITY. THESE REQUIREMENTS HAVE PLACED AN IMPORTANCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF DURABLE DIAMOND TOOLS WHICH ARE CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING HIGH RATES OF STOCK REMOVAL WHILE LEAVING A SURFACE WHICH IS WITHIN TOLERANCES AND WHICH EXHIBITS THE SMOOTHNESS AND UNIFORMITY WHICH IS DEMANDED IN MOST APPLICATIONS. A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF THE PERFORMANCE OF A TOOL IS THE BONDING METHOD UTILIZED FOR SECURING DIAMONDS TO THE WORKING SURFACE. THIS PAPER REVIEWS THE PERFORMANCE OF THE COMMONLY UTILIZED BONDING METHODS AS WELL AS HIGHLIGHTS NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
