Diamond is, without a doubt, the hardest
substance known to man.The material has extreme wear resistant properties and
has been the focus of much research and development by
industries and academics over the years.Although synthetic
diamond is well accepted for its use in material removal
applications such as sawing, grinding, machining and drilling
– it’s use as a wear resistant component for many other
industrial applications has lagged.It’s
presumed brittlenes (true for natural diamond) is a major
factor hindering introduction to other market
areas.
SWM has expertise in various
nozzle applications, a.w. spray drying nozzles, for over 40 years. We
have mastered engineering defined hole geometries into diamond
discs. This opens opportunities for long life nozzles for high
pressure applications such as spray drying and waterjet
cutting. A life time increase of 10 to 15 times has been
achieved compared to Tungsten Carbid or ceramic materials.
