Abstract
A metal matrix composite (MMC) material machining tool and a method for forming such a tool. In one embodiment, the MMC machining tool of the present invention is comprised of a support disk. In this embodiment, the MMC machining tool is further comprised of a plating material which is bonded to at least a portion of the support disk. The present embodiment further recites a plurality of diamond particles coupled to the plating material such that the plurality of diamond particles are securely plated to at least a portion of the support disk. In this embodiment, the plurality of diamond particles are securely plated to the support disk in a manner such that the plurality of diamond particles are adapted to machine metal matrix composite material.
