Polycrystalline Diamond Powder
What This Product Is
Polycrystalline diamond powder is loose, dry diamond in which each particle is a cluster of many small crystals. The multiple facets give many cutting points and a self-sharpening action, so it removes material quickly while leaving a fine, uniform finish with low subsurface deformation. Supplied dry and graded by micron, it lets a lab charge cloths and laps or mix custom suspensions and pastes.
Intended Use in Metallography
Used for intermediate and fine polishing (and lapping in coarser grades), it is commonly selected when:
- Polishing hard or mixed-phase materials where uniform cutting matters
- Higher removal rates are wanted without sacrificing finish
- Controlling relief between hard and soft phases
- A lab prefers to charge or mix its own diamond at a chosen concentration
Typical Applications
Commonly used for:
- Hardened and tool steels
- Carbides, cermets, and wear-resistant materials
- Ceramics and composites
- Charging cloths and laps; custom suspensions and pastes
