Question

How is diamond used for tipping drills

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

• The chemical composition of diamond makes it the hardest material, natural or man-made, known to man. It is this invincibility the makes diamond so sought after for use in industrial drills and cutting saws. An additional advantage of using diamonds in drilling tools is that the life of a diamond drill bit is much longer than any other drill bit material. With regard to its use as an abrasive or use in semiconductors, diamond is invaluable because of its thermal stability.

• Diamond is commonly used in the petroleum and mining industries. Diamond drill bits and coring bits are used for oil well drilling and obtaining core samples. Diamond is also incorporated into circular saws that are used for cutting slabs of marble, granite, and other types of extremely hard stone from quarried blocks. Drill bits, saws and other diamond tools must be custom made in a variety of diameters and lengths to correspond to specific materials and different pressures called upon in the use of the tool.
