[Know Tungsten] Using Cemented Tungsten Carbide Hardmetal to Produce Synthetic Industrial Diamonds

In certain cases, even cemented tungsten carbide hardmetal tools are not sufficiently hard or wear resistant. This is where higher value diamond tools find their application. Many diamond impregnated tools contain tungsten and/or tungsten carbide in the metallic binder to improve their properties and cemented tungsten carbide is also used as the substrate for polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) products.
