Monocrystalline Micron Diamond Powder

Monocrystalline micron diamond powder is produced through HPHT (high-pressure, high-temperature) synthesis. The fine diamond particles exhibit a well-defined crystal structure with parallel cleavage planes, similar to natural diamond. In abrasive applications, controlled micro-fracturing of the particles creates a self-sharpening effect, enhancing cutting efficiency and extending tool life. Monocrystalline micron diamond powder is widely used for precision grinding, lapping, and polishing of ceramics, glass, metals, and other hard materials

What is Coated Diamond Powder?

Coated diamond powder is synthetic diamond particles covered with a uniform metal or compound layer, such as titanium, nickel, chromium, tungsten, cobalt, copper, silicon, or titanium carbide. This coating enhances the diamond’s bond retention, thermal stability, and resistance to oxidation and graphitisation, making it ideal for demanding grinding, cutting, and drilling applications.
At Crownkyn Diamond, we specialise in producing high-quality coated diamond powders with consistent coating thickness, uniform particle size, and reliable performance. Our wide range of coating options and customised solutions help tool manufacturers optimise their processes and achieve superior tool life and efficiency.

Key Features and Benefits of Coating Diamond

Coated diamond powder enhances bond retention, improves thermal stability, and protects the diamond from oxidation and graphitisation. Its uniform coating strengthens the diamond-to-binder adhesion, extending tool life and ensuring reliable performance under high loads and temperatures.

Enhanced Bond Retention

The uniform metal or compound coating improves adhesion between the diamond and the bond matrix, reducing diamond pull-out and extending tool life.

Improved Thermal Stability

Its angular particle shape promotes Coatings such as Ti, W, or Si protect the diamond from graphitisation and oxidation, enabling stable performance at elevated temperatures.

Better Heat Dissipation

Coated surfaces enhance thermal conductivity and reduce heat concentration during grinding, contributing to improved tool durability and efficiency.

Consistent Coating Quality

Strict process control ensures uniform coating thickness, stable particle size distribution, and reliable performance batch after batch.

Versatility Across Bond Systems

Compatible with resin, metal, bronze, and ceramic bond tools, coated diamond powder is ideal for grinding, cutting, and drilling ceramics, glass, hard alloys, and composites.

Coating Types and Their Functions

Crownkyn uses advanced coating technologies to enhance the performance of diamond powder. Depending on the coating material and the specific application, we apply one of three methods, each offering distinct advantages to meet different bonding systems and processing requirements.
A uniform, auto-catalytic process that deposits metals like Ni, Cu, or Co evenly on the diamond surface without electricity. This method is ideal for fine and irregular particles, improving wettability and mechanical retention, especially in resin and bronze bond systems.
An electric-current-driven process used for coatings such as Ni or Ni-Co, offering high adhesion and precise control over coating thickness. Electroplated coatings are commonly used for electroplated tools, ensuring strong grit grip and uniform deposition.
A high-temperature vapour-phase method to deposit materials such as Ti, W, Cr, TiC, or Si directly onto the diamond surface. CVD creates dense, carbide-forming coatings with excellent thermal stability and oxidation resistance — ideal for sintered metal and vitrified bond tools operating at extreme temperatures.

Available Grit Sizes, and Coating Thickness

Coated diamond powder is available in a variety of grades, grit sizes, and coating thicknesses, each tailored to meet specific industrial requirements. Selecting the right combination is essential to ensure optimal bond retention, thermal stability, and cutting or grinding efficiency for your tools.
Available Grit Sizes
  • Fine grit (10–50 μm): Ideal for polishing, lapping, and precision grinding of ceramics, glass, and electronic materials.
  • Medium grit (50–200 μm): Suitable for general-purpose grinding and cutting of stone, composites, and hard alloys.
  • Coarse grit (200–600 μm): Designed for heavy material removal, drilling, and shaping of ultra-hard materials like tungsten carbide and advanced ceramics.

  • Coating Thickness
  • Light coating: Enhances wettability while maintaining sharpness, recommended for soft bonds such as resin and bronze.
  • Medium coating: Balances adhesion and thermal resistance, ideal for metal and vitrified bonds.
  • Heavy coating: Provides maximum oxidation resistance and durability in extreme temperatures, suitable for high-temperature sintering and demanding applications.
  • Bond System Compatibility

    Coated diamond powder is engineered to enhance compatibility with various bond systems, ensuring superior grit retention, thermal stability, and wear resistance in abrasive tools. Our advanced coating technologies bridge the gap between diamond and bond materials, delivering unmatched performance in demanding applications.
    Resin Bond
    Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), and Silicon Oxide (Si) coatings improve wetting and mechanical retention in resin matrices. They reduce grit pull-out and wear, extending tool life while maintaining sharpness, making them suitable for precision grinding and polishing applications.
    Vitrified Bond
    Silicon (Si) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) coatings enhance wetting and bonding in glassy vitrified matrices. These coatings improve retention and stability in brittle, high-temperature environments, ideal for processing ceramics, glass, and composites.
    Metal Bond (Sintered)
    Titanium (Ti), Chromium (Cr), Tungsten (W), and Titanium Carbide (TiC) coatings react with metal matrices to form strong carbides, enhancing sintering density, adhesion strength, and resistance to graphitisation. Ideal for high-temperature and heavy-duty grinding of ultra-hard materials.
    Electroplated Bond
    Nickel-Cobalt (Ni-Co) and Silver (Ag) coatings ensure uniform deposition and strong grit anchoring in electroplated layers. They improve coating coverage, grit stability, and surface finish for tools used in precision cutting and shaping.

    Typical Applications in Various Industries

    Crownkyn’s coated diamond powder is widely used across industries that demand high precision, durability, and efficiency. With coatings such as Ti, Ni, W, Cu, Cr, Co, TiC, and Si, our products deliver enhanced bond retention, thermal stability, and tool life for a range of applications:
    • Aerospace & Automotive:Grinding and cutting of tungsten carbide, ceramics, and high-silicon aluminium alloys for engine components, brakes, and structural parts.

    • Electronics & Semiconductors:Precision lapping and polishing of optical glass, sapphire, and electronic substrates for displays, wafers, and sensors.

    • Construction & Stone Processing:Cutting and shaping of granite, marble, and engineered stones in construction materials and decorative applications.

    • Oil & Gas / Geology:Drilling and coring of hard rock and composites with high wear resistance and thermal stability tools for exploration equipment.

    • Tool Manufacturing:Production of resin, metal, vitrified, and electroplated diamond tools for grinding, drilling, and cutting ultra-hard materials.

    With consistent particle shape, controlled size distribution, and broad bond system compatibility, Crownkyn’s crushed diamond powder helps tool manufacturers deliver reliable performance across multiple industries.

    How to Select the Right Coated Diamond Powder

    STEP 1

    Match the Bond System

    Choose coatings that are compatible with your bond type: Ti, Cr, W, or TiC for metal bonds; Ni, Cu, or Si for resin bonds; Si or SiC for vitrified bonds; Ni-Co or Ag for electroplated tools.
    STEP 2

    Choose the Appropriate Grit Size

    Consider the material you are processing (e.g. ceramics, glass, composites, hard alloys) and the operating conditions such as temperature, load, and speed.
    STEP 3

    Choose the Right Grit Size

    Fine grits are ideal for polishing and finishing, medium grits for general grinding, and coarse grits for heavy-duty material removal.
    STEP 4

    Determine Coating Thickness

    Choose from standard crushed for general use, shaped crushed for better uniformity and grinding stability, or coated crushed (Ni, Ti, Cu) for enhanced bond retention and heat resistance in demanding applications.
    STEP 5

    Consult Technical Experts

    Work with Crownkyn’s experienced team to test samples and optimise your choice of coating, grit size, and thickness for your specific needs.

    Quality Control and Consistency
