Typical Applications
Optoelectronics: Polishing sapphire wafers, silicon wafers, GaN substrates, and ceramic components.
Precision Optics & Fiber: Processing fiber optic connectors, laser rods, and optical windows requiring high light transmittance.
Advanced Manufacturing: Machining magnetic head materials, magnetoresistive (MR) films, sputtered films, Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) substrates, ferrites, and printed circuit boards (PCBs).
In precision polishing applications, a small number of oversized particles may create scratches on optical components, semiconductor wafers or precision molds.
Solution: Controlled classification processes help reduce oversized particle content and improve particle size consistency.
Poorly dispersed particles may agglomerate during slurry preparation, affecting polishing uniformity.
Solution: Uniform particle characteristics support better dispersion when formulating diamond slurries and polishing compounds.
Some abrasive particles become dull during prolonged polishing, reducing material removal efficiency.
Solution: The multi-crystal structure of polycrystalline diamond continuously generates new cutting edges through micro-fracture, helping maintain effective cutting action.
Differences in particle size distribution between batches may affect polishing performance and process repeatability.
Solution: Controlled manufacturing and grading processes contribute to consistent particle characteristics from batch to batch.
