Abstract:
DIAMOND IS SYNTHESIZED BY SUBJECTING CARBON-CONTAINING MATERIAL IN CONTACT WITH A COMPOUND OF MERCURY OR LEAD, SUCH AS MERCURY OXIDE OR LEAD OXIDE, TO A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 2000* C. AND A PRESSURE CORRESPONDING TO A SELECTED TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE DIAMOND STABILITY REGION.
Abstract:
A superabrasive material and method of making the superabrasive material are provided. The superabrasive material may comprise a superabrasive crystal having an irregular surface. The superabrasive material further comprises a plurality of structure defects within the superabrasive crystal. The plurality of structure defects may cause micro-chipping when used as grinding materials.
Abstract:
Nano polycrystalline diamond is composed of carbon, an element of different type which is an element other than carbon and is added to be dispersed in carbon at an atomic level, and an inevitable impurity. The polycrystalline diamond has a crystal grain size not greater than 500 nm. The polycrystalline diamond can be fabricated by subjecting graphite in which the element of different type which is an element other than carbon has been added to be dispersed in carbon at an atomic level to heat treatment within high-pressure press equipment.
