Frequently Asked Questions
Get insights on lab-grown diamond plates, their benefits and solutions to demanding industrial applications:
Are polycrystalline diamonds sustainable?
Yes. Polycrystalline diamonds are manufactured in a lab and involve no kind of mining. They cause reduced environmental impact.
How hard are polycrystalline diamonds?
The hardness of polycrystalline diamonds falls in the range of ~6500 HV up to ~8000 HV surpassing that of tungsten carbide which lends exceptional hardness and offers outstanding wear resistance. These characteristics make it a superior cutting tool and wear part material for specific non-ferrous and non-metallic abrasive applications.
What are the key use cases of PCD diamond plates?
The key use cases of polycrystalline diamond plates are as follows:
- As cutting tools
- Heat Spreaders
- Large optical windows
- Electrochemical applications
Does the grain structure impact performance?
Yes. The grain boundaries of polycrystalline diamond plates has a direct influence on the thermal conductivity values.
