Diamond-Coated Solutions for Industrial Challenges

What are diamond coated parts?

Diamond-coated parts have been coated with a layer of diamond particles. This coating is typically applied using electroplating or electroless plating, which involves depositing a layer of diamond particles onto the part's surface using an electric current or a chemical process. The diamond coating is applied in a thin layer, usually only a few micrometers thick, but it can significantly increase the wear resistance and durability of the part. The coating can also protect the part from corrosion and other forms of damage.

Diamond coatings are often used on parts subject to high wear levels, such as cutting tools, dies, and other mechanical components. The diamond coating can help extend these parts' lifespan by providing a wear-resistant surface resistant to abrasive wear and damage. Diamond coatings can also improve the performance of these parts by reducing friction and wear during use. It can help improve the efficiency of the machinery in which the coated parts are used, as well as reduce the downtime and repair costs associated with wear and damage.

Advantages of using diamond-coated parts

There are many advantages of using diamond-coated parts:

  • Increased wear resistance:
    Diamonds are the hardest known material and have a very high resistance to wear. It makes them the perfect choice for coating parts exposed to abrasive environments. With a diamond coating, parts can last much longer than if left uncoated.

  • Improved performance:
    Parts that are coated with diamond can have better performance, such as reduced friction and increased corrosion resistance, because diamond is a rigid material and can resist wear and tear.

  • Lower maintenance costs:
    Diamond-coated parts have a much longer lifespan than traditional parts, meaning you won't have to replace them nearly as often, which can help reduce maintenance costs significantly over time. 

  • Increased efficiency:
    Coated parts can operate more efficiently due to the improved performance characteristics of diamond coatings. For example, diamond coatings can provide superior wear resistance, friction reduction, and improved hardness. As a result, diamond-coated parts can often outperform uncoated parts and last longer in demanding applications.

How are diamond-coated parts manufactured?

To coat a part with a diamond, we use electroplating. The manufacturing process includes:

  • Cleaning:
    The substrate must be cleaned before diamond coating to ensure good adhesion. The surface of the substrate also needs to be roughened to promote the adhesion of the diamond coating further.

  • Diamond solution:
    A solution containing diamond particles is prepared. This solution is often called a "slurry." A slurry is a semi-fluid mixture of a solid and a liquid.

  • Deposit:
    The substrate is placed in the slurry, and an electrical current is applied to the system. It causes the diamond particles to be attracted to the substrate and to deposit onto its surface.

  • Heating:
    Next, the substrate is removed from the slurry and heated up to a high temperature, usually around 800 to 1200 degrees Celsius, to make the diamond particles stick to the substrate. It creates a strong bond between the substrate and the diamond particles by heating the substrate to this high temperature.
