Diamond grinding tools have widely established its usage in machining and cutting of hard materials such as natural stone and concrete. These diamond metal composites are mainly fabricated powder-metallurgically. The sintered metal serves as a boundary matrix for the embedded diamond grains. Therefore the bonding type of the diamonds in the metal matrices is of essential relevance. So it is of important interest if the interfacial area between the diamonds and metal matrices consist of metal-carbides, solid solutions of carbon in metal or even graphite. In this work diamond metal (Co, Fe, Cr) composites have been investigated by X-ray absorption near-edge fine structure spectroscopy (XANES) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) in order to analyse the structure of the interfacial layer between the diamonds and the metal matrices. First analysis of the XANES data indicate changes in the local structure due to the sintering process. XRD studies show the formation of graphite.
