The invention relates to a method for plating
tungsten on
a diamond surface. In the invention, a salt-bath
tungsten plating method is adopted. The method comprises the following steps of removing greasy
dirt on the surface of
a diamond particle, mixing with
tungsten powder in a
crucible after coarsening and carrying out
sensitization-activation treatment; carrying out high-temperature salt-bath tungsten plating in a fused salt environment; and then cleaning and
drying through a clear water boiling method to obtain an finished product, wherein the method for removing greasy
dirt and coarsening is as follows: placing the
diamond particle in diluted alkaline and carrying out
ultrasonic oscillation cleaning, and cleaning by deionized water; soaking and cleaning by diluted acid; washing to neutral by water; adding into a
nitric acid solution for boiling for 3-10 minutes, carrying out coarsening treatment and washing to neutral by deionized water, and carrying out
sensitization-activation treatment; and cleaning by deoionized water and
drying after cleaning by
alcohol for
acetone, wherein the salt-bath tungsten plating is carried out in a
vacuum furnace. The method for plating tungsten on the
diamond surface can be used for effectively plating a layer of compact and uniform
coating on the surface of the
diamond particle; the phase is mainly composed of WC (Wolfram
Carbide) and W (Wolfram), so that toxic substances are not generated in the process. Moreover, the process is simple and the cost is low.
