What is common to cars, planes, cell phones, pumps, medical implants and satellites? The answer is that we as humans use these products every day to commute and communicate with our loved ones. So how does Microdiamant fit in to all of this?
What is unique to these products is that they all have precision engineered components assembled inside. These metals, ceramic or semiconductor materials are processed using diamond slurries, diamond pads for achieving the precision dimensional and surface finish which is crucial for their performance. Now let’s look a little closer.
With the persistent demand for safer, more reliable, and more economical cars, the automotive industry looks for creative solutions. The ability to engineer increasingly intricate components with cost-effective methods is vital to meeting these demands. Components such as air bag initiators, fuel pump components, a/c compressor systems, fuel injection systems, transmission plates & spacers, power steering components, anti-lock braking systems, windshield wiper motors, precision piston rings, air brake components, con-rod connectors, fluid sensors, engine heads, tractor mud seals, mirror mounts, alternator armatures and valve lifters are some of the components with are processed using diamond based slurries for attaining the precision they need for reliable operation.

The engineers worked to improve the microstructure of GDC50 in order to give it greater scuff resistance under high thermal load conditions. This created a finer microcrack network having more nanodiamond particles that are also distributed more uniformly.- Federal Mogul (Source:https://tiresandparts.net/news/parts/federal-mogul-upgrades-goetze-diamond-coating-for-piston-rings/
The aerospace industry is known for constant innovation. Aircraft components are looked at and reimagined in ways that aim to make the components more reliable, more cost-effective and more fuel-efficient. We offer our customers critical competitive advantages with our innovative solutions such as Squadro Pads and custom diamond suspensions. Hydraulic systems, precision piston rings, turbine engine fan components, fuel metering devices and compartment sealing rings are some of the applications which use our solutions in this field.
