Diamonds are crystallized carbon formed inside the earth at extremely high temperatures and pressures. They are the hardest material found in nature. Originating from volcanoes, they are found in alluvial deposits or riverbeds, and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.

1. Natural – In the form of powder, raw or polished stone

2. Synthetic – In the form of powder and tablets or inserts. It is a laboratory product first developed in 1954 by the North American company GE. High pressure and temperature create conditions for converting graphite into diamond, obtaining the characteristics of shape, resistance and friability, thus allowing the production of grains with characteristics defined for each application.

Cubic boron nitride – CBN – Borazon – In powder, tablet or insert form, they are similar to synthetic diamond, with characteristics of better productivity and machinability in ferrous metals, because they are chemically inert with these work materials.

Tungstek do Brasil, in partnership with two Universities, produces and applies these materials in its manufacturing line, whether for cutting hard materials, for manufacturing rock drilling bits, or for machining the hard coatings we make.
