    1. Why Has CVD Diamond Become the New Benchmark in Ultra-Precision Machining?

    In the field of superhard materials, CVD diamond (chemical vapor deposition diamond) is redefining processing limits with its unparalleled performance. Unlike traditional high-pressure synthetic diamonds, CVD technology creates single or polycrystalline diamond materials with a purity of up to 99.9% by depositing carbon atoms and growing them in a low-pressure environment.

    The excellent characteristics of CVD diamond include:

    • Extreme Hardness: HV10000 and above, three times that of tungsten carbide

    • Ultra-High Thermal Conductivity: 2000W/m·K, five times that of copper

    • Nanometer Smoothness: Surface roughness can reach Ra 0.02nm

    • Perfect Lattice Structure: Free of metal catalyst contamination

    For supreme tool dealers, CVD diamond tools show remarkable advantages in processing high-silicon aluminum alloys (Si>18%).

    2. Cutting-Edge Applications of CVD Diamond in the Optical Field

    In the optical field, CVD diamond window materials are prized for their:

    • Full-spectrum transparency from ultraviolet to far-infrared

    • Laser damage threshold up to 10kW/cm²

    • Sand and dust erosion resistance twenty times greater than sapphire
      making it an ideal choice for high-energy laser systems and infrared imaging equipment.
