WEAR COMPONENT COMPRISING SINGLE CRYSTAL CVD DIAMOND

摘要

A body of single crystal CVD (chemical vapour deposition) diamond particularly suitable as a wear resistant material for wear applications, such as wire drawing dies, graphical tools or stichels, or fluid jet nozzles. The diamond typically has a low wear rate, exhibits a low birefringence indicative of low strain and possesses an ability to be processed to show a high surface polish.
