In the vast cosmos of materials science, coated diamonds shine like a brilliant star, radiating unique brilliance. With its superior performance and broad range of applications, it is gradually transforming the developmental landscape of numerous industries. Today, let's delve into the mysteries of coated diamonds.
The preparation processes of coated diamonds primarily include Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD). The CVD methods include Hot Filament CVD, Microwave Plasma CVD, and DC Arc Plasma Jet CVD, while the PVD methods include Magnetron Sputtering and Ion Beam Deposition.
Cutting Tool Industry
Coating cutting tools (such as milling cutters, turning tools, and drill bits) with coated diamonds can significantly enhance their cutting performance and wear resistance. For instance, graphite milling cutters with coated diamonds show a remarkable improvement in thermal insulation, performing 10-15 times better than ordinary tungsten steel milling cutters, greatly saving tool change time and costs, and avoiding the issues caused by multiple tool changes.
Molding Industry
Using coated diamonds on plastic molds and hardware molds can effectively reduce the friction coefficient of the mold surface, enhance demolding performance and service life, reduce maintenance and replacement frequencies, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.
Aerospace Industry
Aircraft engine components: Key parts like turbine blades and combustion chambers with coated diamonds can quickly dissipate heat, lower the temperatures on blades and combustion chamber walls, reduce thermal fatigue and oxidative corrosion, and enhance overall engine performance and reliability.
Satellites and spacecraft: Provide heat dissipation and protection for electronic equipment and optical instruments, ensuring normal operation in space environments, maintaining stability and accuracy of devices.
Electronics Industry
Semiconductor manufacturing: As a heat sink material, it helps dissipate the heat generated during the operation of semiconductor devices, reducing chip temperature and preventing performance degradation and reliability issues caused by overheating, ensuring the normal operation of semiconductor devices.
Circuit boards: Lower the operating temperature of electronic components on the circuit board, reduce thermal noise and signal interference, and enhance the reliability and signal integrity of the circuits.
Optical Industry
Used to manufacture "never-wear diamond-coated glass cases" and "never-wear diamond-coated glass lenses," as well as anti-erosion coatings for critical infrared military optical materials like ZnS, Ge, and Si. This increases the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of optical components.
Biomedical Industry
Used for implant coatings, such as joint replacements and medical instruments, including dental milling cutters, drills, and drilling tools, exhibiting excellent biocompatibility and wear resistance.
As an advanced material with enormous potential, the future development prospects of coated diamonds are very promising. With continuous advancements in preparation technology and cost reduction, coated diamonds will be applied and promoted in more fields. Researchers will continue to explore new preparation methods and processes to enhance the performance and quality of coated diamonds, meeting the demands for high-performance materials in various industries. Simultaneously, the composite application of coated diamonds with other materials will become a research hotspot, bringing more innovation and breakthroughs to the development of materials science.
