Abstract: Diamond/NiCrBSi composite coatinglayer was made on the surface of 65Mn steel by vacuum brazing, the phase composition and wear resistance properties of the joint were tested, the results showed that: the diamond/NiCrBSi composite layer formed well, the width of the reacted interface between the composite and base metal is approximately 20 μm, which means well metallurgical combination. The diamond is dispersed in the coating layer, and reacted with the filler alloy resulted in the formation of Cr/C compound with hardness of 1150HV. Ni solid solution phase, Cr/B phase and eutectic phase composed of Ni3Si and Ni3B were also found in the composite coating. The microhardness of all the phase is higher than that of 65Mn base metal. Under the same wear test conditions, the weight loss of 65Mn steel reached 1.350 9 g while the diamond/NiCrBSi composite coating was 0.221 4 g, only 1/6 of loss weight of 65Mn base metal.
