The most renowned property of diamond is its exceptional hardness. By depositing diamond
films on tungsten carbide (WC–Co) and steel substrates, the hardness of diamond can be …

Diamond is an allotropes of carbon and is unique because of its extreme hardness (~ 100
GPa), low friction coefficient (< 0.05), high thermal conductivity (~ 2000 Wm− 1 K− 1), and …

In this work, a comparative study of diamond films consisting of alternate microcrystalline
(MCD) and nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) layers is conducted. Diamond films including …

Diamond-coated tools can meet the service requirements of high precision, high efficiency
and long life with multi-element coupling, but the milling characteristics of graphite materials …

Cemented carbides have various industrial applications in many fields. The large cutting
force and excessive tool wear are the most prominent issues encountered during the …

In this paper we report the wear performance of diamond coated WC-Co cutting tools with a
CrN interlayer by machining Al-Si alloys. Diamond films were deposited on both WC-6% Co …

Metallic implants such as hip and knee often fail due to the combined action of wear and
corrosion. Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coatings on metallic implants can be a potential …

It has been half of a century since the publication of the early reports about CVD diamond
films in the world in the early 1970's. The reports for meaningful laboratory growth of …

Diamond is an unequivocal champion among materials, since it possesses outstanding
physical/chemical properties. In brief, diamond exhibits high hardness (~ 100 GPa), good …

Diamond due to its outstanding optical, electrical, mechanical and thermal properties finds
an important place in electronic, opto-electronic and quantum technologies. Recent …
