Diamonds come in various colors, from colorless to black, and colorless is particularly preferred. They can be transparent, translucent or opaque, or nanodiamonds. It is a mineral composed of carbon, which is an allotrope of carbon.
Tungsten carbide is a compound composed of tungsten and carbon. It is a black hexagonal crystal with metallic luster and hardness similar to that of diamond. It is a good conductor of electricity and heat.
According to the Mohs hardness scale (Mohs hardness scale), there are 10 grades, and diamond (diamond) is the highest grade 10. Compared with tungsten carbide, diamond is harder?
Tungsten carbide is definitely not as hard as diamond.
Tungsten carbide is relatively hard, and products processed with tungsten carbide greatly improve its hardness and durability.
Although tungsten carbide is not as hard as diamond, some other physical parameters are much better than diamond. For example, its stiffness can reach twice that of steel, and its Young's modulus is about 530-700 GPa, which is also twice that of steel.
It is precisely because of its high hardness and excellent other properties that tungsten carbide is widely used in aerospace, oil and gas, chemical, fluid control, engineering machinery and other fields.
Diamonds can be seen everywhere in the stone processing industry. The polishing disc contains it, metal grinding discs, metal grinding blocks, CNC tools, saw blades, various cutter heads, drill bits, grinding wheels, Tools such as chamfering wheels, bowl mills, diamond brushes, Donghou wheels, etc., mostly contain diamonds.
