Allied High Tech DIAMOND COMPOUNDS – POLYCRYSTALLINE

Allied diamond compounds are specifically formulated for metallographic sample preparation and offer a higher concentration of diamond compared with suspensions. The diamond compounds are water soluble and compatible with glycol, water or alcohol based lubricants. Diamond compounds are typically used as a stand alone product or as a “base” before applying diamond suspension to polishing cloths.

Polycrystalline Diamond has many more cutting surfaces per particle, resulting in higher removal rates. As it cuts, it breaks down in its original shape, allowing for finer finishes in less time than when using monocrystalline diamond. Because polycrystalline has no cleavage planes, it cannot splinter like monocrystalline diamond. It causes less sub-surface deformation, and is excellent when polishing samples composed of different materials/hardness.
