What is a Diamond powder?

Generally, diamond powder refers to artificially made nm to μm size diamond crystals, and is mainly used as an abrasive. Natural diamond is a very expensive substance as a gemstone, so there was a problem that it was difficult to use it for industrial purposes, but since it became possible to artificially produce diamond powder, it is one of the hardest diamonds in the world. Taking advantage of its characteristics as a substance, demand has expanded rapidly, especially in the fields of cutting and polishing. There are two types of diamond powder, single crystal and polycrystal. Polycrystal tends to have higher performance than single crystal because it is an improved latecomer.

Application of Diamond powder

Diamond powder is often used as abrasive grains or as a diamond cutter blade and saw wire attached to the cutting edge. Basically, it is a product for industrial and field work, but diamond cutters are very cheap, so they are sometimes used by DIY. In addition, in beauty-related fields, it has become so familiar that it is used in products such as nails, face powders, perfumes and moisturizers, and handmade accessories.
