| From
Start to Finish
Diamond Innovations micron powders are created in a single, continuous
manufacturing process. Starting with the highest quality raw materials, Diamond
Innovations uses advanced engineering methods to manufacture diamond with specific
characteristics of strength and toughness. State-of-the-art micronizing techniques
assure the diamond micron powders have precisely defined size, shape and surface
properties. The result is unprecedented consistency and uniformity from the initial
diamond source to the final product.
Consistency
through Six Sigma Quality Control
Recognizing the need for high quality, Diamond Innovations micron powders
offer consistency and repeatability derived from the engineering and understanding
invested in our proprietary Six Sigma controlled manufacturing process.
The Magic Six
Tightly controlled diamond characteristics enhance theperformance of diamond
micron powders.

Innovations Designs for the Exclusion of Oversize and Superfines
 Particle
Size Distribution – PSD
PSD affects workpiece surface finish and material removal rates in free abrasive
applications. It also affects the diamond surface characteristics that are critical
to chemical and mechanical interactions. This includes surface effects which manifest
themselves in wetting and dispersing characteristics, propensity for agglomeration
and cohesive strength of these agglomerates. It also affects the amount of moisture
or static charge which may impede proper mixing or blending, as well as suspension
stability of diamond particles in a slurry.

Size
Measurement Expertise
 Methods
for particle size analysis of sub-sieve size powders include laser light scattering,
electrical sensing zone, microscopy, sedimentation and photon correlation spectroscopy.
Diamond Innovations micron powders are measured by utilizing the most appropriate
sizing technique for each size range. In addition, powders are controlled through
the use of a field emission SEM for measuring particles at the extreme ends of
a distribution, where levels are too low to be detected by standard measurement
techniques.
