Diamond is the hardest and the most abrasive-resistant natural substance



known and is, thus, rapidly being used in numerous industries. Apart from

using the diamond stone for different applications, diamond is also churned

into a powder and also used as a paste, depending upon the need of the

specific application. Primarily, both diamond powder and diamond paste are

used for polishing various substances where high surface finish is given

prime importance.

To begin with, diamond powder is available in two types namely, natural

diamond powder and synthetic diamond powder. Until 1957, before the

emergence of synthetic diamond powder, natural diamond powder was

predominantly used for commercial purposes. It is more expensive than

synthetic diamond powder and is ideal for application on materials like

Single Crystal Ferrite, Tungsten Carbide (6% CO), or Ti-6AL-4V Alloy, as it

has a lower cutting rate. On the other hand, synthetic diamond powder has a

distinctive feature termed as "friability", which refers to the ability of

the material to fracture the object. This feature of friability helps

produce superiorly polished, high shine edges of objects. Thus, synthetic

diamond powder is widely being preferred over natural diamond powder owing

to its higher cutting rate.

Diamond powders, both natural as well as synthetic, are available in the

market in various coatings, particle shapes and grades. Some of the common

areas where diamond powders find application are lapping, polishing,

grinding & sawing of industrial tools and components. Also, these can be

used for polishing precious and semi-precious stones such as Diamonds, Ruby,

Emerald and Cubic Zirconia, to name a few.

Diamond paste, basically, refers to compound of finely grounded or powdered

diamond particles that are used for polishing numerous surfaces and tools.

Diamond paste is usually liquid based, either water or oil, which acts as

the binding agent.
