DIAMOND POWDER
1. SYNTHETIC DIAMOND POWDER - monocrystalline structure
Our monocrystalline synthetic diamond powder reaches us directly from the manufacturing plant. Very strict process controls lead to a consistent premium quality of the product. Due to our technology we are able to produce different grades of diamonds which suit most applications.
Diamond powder is used for abrasive wet and dry superfinishing and lapping of nonferrous metals, nonmetallics and composite materials.
Grain sizes and hardness are in compliance with US-Standards.
1.1. DIAMOND POWDER MONOCRYSTALLINE - metal bond
Recommended for specific application when the rate of material removal is most important, e.g. hard ceramics, diamond, glass and stones. Good results of surface polishing are already achievable using the fine grain sizes of this kind of diamond powder.
1.2. DIAMOND POWDER MONOCRYSTALLINE - resin bond
As the metal-bond type, the resin-bond diamond powder is available in various grades and sizes. Recommended for general application when surface finish and processing costs are most important e.g. steel, nonferrous materials, carbides and soft ceramics. These budget-priced diamonds are the most friable ones and will thus cause only a minimum of scratches.
2. SYNTHETIC DIAMOND POWDER - polycrystalline structure
The synthetic polycrystalline diamonds are based on a discovery of a new technology by producing a short and powerful explosion, thus transforming graphite into diamond. This process yields the polycrystalline diamond crystals each consisting of thousands of micro-crystallites which are bonded together whereas the natural consists of only one crystal or even of fragments. The polycrystalline diamond is the only type of diamond that has self sharpening properties.
The polycrystalline structure generates every time new sharp edges by
releasing an outer layer of dull micro-crystallites. The polycrystalline diamond laps and polishes every material faster than any other abrasive while producing a mirror-polished and scratch-free surface.
When producing metallographic sections for instance in a long lasting
process your working time can be reduced to 50% by using the polycrystalline diamond.
For decades now, natural diamond powder has been playing a critical role in the world of the superabrasive industry (grinding, cutting, lapping and polishing). Being the hardest material known, natural diamonds have quickly become the ideal abrasive product available, creating better, more competitive and high precision products. Furthermore, the thermal properties and the specific crystal structure of natural diamond grits contribute to this.
