CVD diamond polycrystalline, is freestanding pure diamond film, created in a vacuum furnace, by dc arc plasma jet chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method.
At sub-atmospheric pressure, a mixture of carbon-containing gas (methane) and hydrogen is excited and decomposed to form carbon atoms, which are deposited on the substrate and alternately grown into polycrystalline diamond, and the growth keeps a high speed to form a diamond film. This method can also be used for coating tools and workpieces.
Properties of CVD Diamond Polycrystalline
The physical properties of CVD diamond polycrystalline are very close to those of natural diamond in mechanical, thermal and optical aspects. As a result, the CVD diamond films can be laser cut into customized dimensions and be used for making diamond dressing tools, diamond cutting tools, wire drawing dies, heat sink components, and optical windows.

Polycrystalline CVD Diamond Dressing Tool Blanks
Polycrystalline CVD Diamond Dressing Tool Blanks
For mechanical purpose, the polycrystalline CVD diamond blanks are high quality pure diamond of consistent wear resistance and high thermal stability and thermal conductivity, free from any metallic or non-metallic bonding.
The CVD diamond dressing tool blanks are always available in shapes of rectangular logs (sticks), which can be used to make single point dressers, multi-point dressers, blade dressers, roller dressers for dressing applications, such as dressing the aluminum oxide and silicon carbide grinding wheels.
The wear resistance of our CVD dressing tool blanks are from standard grade, high grade to premium grade, in order to meet different hardness of machining targets, and to help tool makers to achieve high cost-performance.
In the chart below are standard sizes of the dressing tool blanks, other dimensions are available by laser cutting according to drawings on request.
