industrial diamond
Synthetic hardest material
Industrial diamond refers to diamonds used for cutting, grinding, drilling, and polishing rather than jewelry.
These diamonds—whether natural or synthetic—are valued for hardness rather than clarity or color.
Diamond-tipped drill bits bore through rock; diamond-coated blades cut concrete and tile.
Most industrial diamonds today are manufactured rather than mined.
