Thermal damage to diamonds is a major limitation in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processing of metal matrix diamond composites. In this paper, a numerical simulation model was established to describe the thermal effect of the Diamond-CuSn10 composite on the LPBF process. The simulation results show that the temperature of the diamond presents a double-peak structure, and the double-peak temperature curve shape can be modulated by modifying the laser scanning offset and the size of the diamond powder. And it suggests that the heat of the diamond mainly comes from the transfer of the molten pool. Then, combined with the experimental phenomenon, the mechanism of diamond graphitization in the LPBF process is analyzed. It indicates that since the surface defects of the diamond inhibit the heat conduction of the diamond, the temperature accumulates on the surface, leading to the graphitization of the diamond. Finally, based on this model, the potential of Ti-coated diamonds to prevent and reduce thermal damage in the LPBF process has been extensively studied. It is found that a Ti coating with low thermal conductivity can effectively reduce diamond temperature and improve diamond graphitization resistance. This study can provide a good method and basis for the preliminary selection of LPBF process parameters and the understanding of the graphitization mechanism of diamond tools.
