Abstract: A cold press and a method for the production of green compacts for diamond-containing tool segments includes a tool matrix, a top ram and a bottom ram assigned to a matrix adapter from opposite directions for the purpose of compressing sinterable metal powder and diamond granules after both of these materials have been fed to the matrix adapter. Step-by-step build-up of the green compact is carried out in such a manner that after one layer of metal powder and one layer of diamond granulate have been charged, these layers are together compressed.

Abstract: A cold press and a method for the production of green compacts for diamond-containing tool segments, comprising a tool matrix and a top ram and a bottom ram assigned to a matrix adapter from opposite directions for the purpose of compressing sinterable metal powder and diamond granules after both of these materials have been fed to the matrix adapter is known. In the present invention, step-by-step build-up of the green compact is carried out in such a manner that after one layer of metal powder and one layer of diamond granulate have been charged, these layers are together compressed. The use thereof for producing diamond-containing cutting segments of saw blades for building machinery.
