What is diamond electrode?
A conductive diamond that has been doped to a relatively high concentration (about 1023 cm-3) is used as an electrochemical electrode. This diamond electrode is gaining attention as a candidate next-generation electrode material that is an alternative to conventional noble metal and carbon electrodes.
How are industrial diamonds made?
Diamond seeds are placed at the bottom of the press. The internal part of press is heated above 1400 °C and melts the solvent metal. The molten metal dissolves the high purity carbon source, which is then transported to the small diamond seeds and precipitates, forming a large synthetic diamond.
What are industrial diamonds worth?
Natural industrial diamond normally has a more limited range of values. Its price varies from about $0.30 per carat for bort-size material to about $7 to $10 per carat for most stone, with some larger stones selling for up to $200 per carat.
What is the clarity rating for diamonds?
Using the GIA International Diamond Grading System™, diamonds are assigned a clarity grade that ranges from flawless (FL) to diamonds with obvious inclusions (I3). Every diamond is unique. None is absolutely perfect under 10× magnification, though some come close.
What are industrial grade diamonds?
Diamond that does not meet gem-quality standards for color, clarity, size, or shape is used principally as an abrasive, and is termed “industrial diamond.” Even though it is more expensive than competing abrasive materials, diamond has proven to be more cost effective in numerous industrial processes because it cuts …
What is the difference between gem grade and industrial grade diamonds?
Gem-quality diamonds are the most perfect diamonds, with minimal impurities and defects. They have a specific gravity that is very close to 3.52. Industrial diamonds are mostly used in cutting, grinding, drilling, and polishing procedures.
Is 12 clarity diamond good?
Diamond clarity I2-I3 I2 diamonds are one grade better than I3 diamonds. An I3 diamond is the lowest grade on the Clarity scale and will have even more noticeable inclusions than I2 diamonds. Because these imperfections detract from the brilliance and beauty of the diamond, we do not recommend I3 diamonds either.
What Diamond color is best?
D color diamond
D color diamond is the highest grade and is extremely rare—the highest color grade that money can buy. Eight percent of customers choose a D color diamond.
