OPERATION:POLISHING

Diamond compound

        Diamond is preferred for most polishing applications when compared with other abrasives. Although diamond is more costly per unit, the amount required to polish is substantially   less by a greater factor than the difference in price in most cases. Diamond also cuts faster, requiring less time to achieve an improved surface finish and produce a more accurate   representation of microstructure with fewer artifacts (smearing, scratches, etc.).

     Mono-Crystalling

 

    provides a cost effective means for good stock removal and finish. It has a slightly irregular shape with multiple cutting edges, and is recommended for general applications where polycrystalline’s features are not required

 

      Poly-Crystalling

 

    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 whenusing 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

 

Diamond Pump Spray

 

A non-CFC, 8-ounce (2260 mL) aerosol spray consisting of polycrystalline diamond mixed carrier quickly evaporates after application, leaving a uniform layer of diamond particles on the cloth. It can be used with any lubricant and is water soluble
