The polycrystalline structure lends itself to the creation of particles that are blocky in shape. Blocky Shape with Self Sharpening Particles: Polycrystalline diamond preserves the integrity of the surface by not plucking out the brittle areas or aggressively abrading non homogeneous areas. Polycrystalline diamond works well with materials that contain various soft / hard / brittle domains such as complex cermets, ceramics and metallographic or petrographic specimens. This permits the use of higher unit pressures for lapping and polishing, often reducing the number of steps required. Polycrystalline particles are tough and equally strong in all directions. They produce none of the random scratches and microcracking sometimes caused by monocrystalline particles. Polycrystalline diamond particles abrade a workpiece uniformly regardless of orientation. Polycrystalline diamond particles are ultra rough with three times the surface area of Monocrystalline particles. Advantages of Polycrystalline Diamond Suspension

If a lubricating fluid is required, Kemet Type W2 is recommended. Supplied either in 400g, 425g or in 2500 gram (nett) bottles.Suitable for use on all types of Kemet Lapping and Polishing Plates.Colour coded for ease of identification.Water-soluble - components are easily cleaned.Available in Strong or Extra Strong Concentrations.The finely graded diamond powder is uniformly dispersed throughout the Liquid carrier, ensuring the generation of perfect surface finishes.No agitation is required - the diamond remains in suspension.WX is highly suitable for the polishing of metallographic samples.However, for a certain number of specialised applications, where a more viscous liquid diamond is called for, we have developed a suspension called Type WX. A high viscosity liquid diamond suspension!įor most applications where a liquid diamond suspension is required, we would recommend Aquapol-M (manufactured with monocrystalline diamond powder) or Aquapol-P (manufactured with polycrystalline diamond powder).
