The Development Prospects of Diamond Tools

With the increasingly mature synthetic diamond technology as well as China's rapid economic take-off, we have achieved great progress on diamond tool manufacturing technology, and also have strong manufacturing capacity.

Because of the advantages on labor cost of Chinese manufacturers and the progress on technology research and development, our diamond tool manufacturers have obvious advantages in the product price. The rapid growth of market demand for diamond tools creats more chances, which brings a batch of internationally competitive enterprises. China has become the world's important producer and exporter of diamond tools , whose annual output value has been more than ten billion yuan.

The application of diamond tool in the field of emerging industry is expected to be further expanded. With the improvement of synthetic diamond grade, its good performance is expected to get more extensive applications in the field of high and new technology. For example, it can be used for aviation instrument bearing, radar waveguide, optical components and other precision instruments; It can also be used for cutting and grinding monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon with 0.1-0.2 mm thickness, and precision processing of satellite solar panels; It can be used for  precision cutting, notching and back thinning of large scale integrated circuit such as computer chips and nano diamond polishing processing.

The developed countries in the world all regard superhard materials and products including synthetic diamond as development focus, and the research and application level of superhard materials and their products, represent the level of science and technology development of a country to some extent.
