Diamond Powder
Advanced Abrasives Corporation offers the highest quality superabrasive powders in the industry. The manufacturing process is monitored with state of the art equipment and continuous quality control checks. Every powder is tailored to our customers unique application or process. Sizes range from 25 nanometer up to and including the mesh region. These same high quality powders are the backbone to our superior line of slurries, suspensions and compounds.
Metal Bond Powder Product Offering
Advanced Abrasives offers an entire range of metal bond monocrystalline diamond to meet every application in the industry. All of our products meet or exceed industry standards.
MDP(N)
Premium line of nickel-iron catalyst metal bond crystal
- Tight particle size distribution
- Blocky and etched surface
- Stringent oversize control
- Surfaces cleaned to extremely low levels of elemental impurities and ionic content
- Specific feed crystal source and monitoring
- Majority of sizes are from or proprietary Mesh-to-Micron process
The above characteristics make this line the perfect product for High Pressure/High Temperature, semiconductor and microelectronics applications. MDP(N) is also used in wheel fabrication and high precision lapping and polishing applications.
MDP
Standard Grade Metal Bond
- Narrow particle size distribution
- Blocky Shape
- Oversize control
- Surfaces cleaned
MDP is the popular choice for most lapping and polishing applications. It is the optimum choice when the characteristics of MDP(N) are not required.
MDP-IR
Economical Grade Metal Bond
- Standard particle size distribution
- Irregular with Blocky Shapes
- Oversize monitored
- No gross contamination
MDP-IR is the economical alternative where precision surface finishes are not required. This material is not recommended for any type of bonded or sintered abrasive application.
RDP
Resin Bond Diamond Powder
RDP is the recommended product for machining many types of ceramic, glass and tungsten carbide. This material is ideal for all vitrified, phenolic and polyimide bond systems.
PDP
Polycrystalline Diamond Powder
PDP is made up of nano-crystallites that give it a unique break down mechanism which allows new cutting edges to be exposed creating a self-sharpening characteristic. PDP is used primarily for lapping and polishing sapphire, ruby, metallographic samples, fiber optics and ceramics along with disk texturing, head polishing and lapping of substrates.
NDP
Natural Diamond Powder
The natural alternative to synthetic diamond. NDP exhibits a high surface finish while maintaining above average stock removal.
cBNP
Cubic Boron Nitride Powder
cBNP is the clear winner when machining ferrous materials. It is second only to diamond in hardness. cBNP has a high thermal conductivity which makes it ideal for high temperature applications.
Pre-Wetted Diamond
For many applications, agglomeration can have a serious, negative impact on your process. Agglomeration occurs when extremely clean particles are dried and their surfaces bond together with such force that it is impossible to get them separated again. This inability to re-disperse the particles is most difficult in sizes 0.5 and below.
Advanced Abrasives offers this material in de-ionized water straight from the grading process which means no agglomeration of particles. In many cases, a process needs agglomerate free material but adding water to the process is prohibitive. In most cases we can flip the material from water into a compatible component for your process without every drying the diamond.
Coated Powders
MDP, RDP, and cBNP
Coated material increases particle retention in most bond systems. It also facilitates heat dissipation in the bond system resulting in longer tool life. We offer MDP, RDP, and cBNP with either Nickel or Copper electroless coatings
