Product Description Application recommended Shape and size Mono crystalline structure (resin bond system diamond power) These budget-priced diamonds are the most friable ones and therefore will produce a minimum of scratches Recommended for general application when surface finish and processing costs are most important, such as steels, nonferrous materials, carbides, and soft ceramics. Irregular shape crystals Mono crystalline structure (metal bond system diamond power) More expensive than resin bond power Recommended for specific application when the material removal rate is most important and/or when resin bond powder is not performing up to standard, such as hard ceramics, glass, and stones. Blocky shape crystals Polycrystalline structure diamond powder Very high friable diamond with multi edge system of hundreds of crystals Recommended for applications when material removal rate and/or surface finish are more important than processing costs, and if it is impossible to achieve good quality in any other way. To be used for computer discs, optical parts, etc. Particle shape varies from round to irregular depending on size. <<< back to product overview
