The sample tools were fabricated by cold-pressing technology followed by hot-pressing in vacuum of the 51Fe\u201332Cu\u20139Ni\u20138Sn matrix mixture with diamond bits, both in absence and presence of nano-VN additives. It was demonstrated that without VN addition, the diamond\u2013matrix interface contained voids and discontinuities. Nanodispersed VN added to the matrix resulted in the formation of a more fine-grained structure consisting of solid solutions composed of iron, copper, nickel, vanadium and tin in different ratios and the formation of a tight diamond\u2013matrix zone with no visible voids, discontinuities and other defects. Optimal concentrations of VN in the CDM matrix were found achieving the maximum values of nanohardness H = 7.8 GPa, elastic modulus E = 213 GPa, resistance to elastic deformation expressed by ratio H\/E = 0.0366, plastic deformation resistance H3\/E2 = 10.46 MPa, ultimate flexural strength Rbm = 1110 MPa, and compressive strength Rcm = 1410 MPa. As-prepared Fe\u2013Cu\u2013Ni\u2013Sn\u2013VN composites with enhanced physical and mechanical properties are suitable for cutting tools of increased durability and improved performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/machines10060410","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T00:14:14Z","timestamp":1653437654000},"page":"410","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Properties of Cutting Tool Composite Material Diamond\u2013(Fe\u2013Ni\u2013Cu\u2013Sn) Reinforced with Nano-VN"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Athanasios","family":"Mamalis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Project Center for Nanotechnology and Advanced Engineering, 9 Finikos Street, Kifissia, 14564 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vladimir","family":"Mechnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"V.
