The crystallite size of the diamond coatings get larger simply with the deposition time due to the columnar growth mechanism and NCD coatings of high thickness display the surface characteristics of microcrystalline diamond, which are damaging to most of the applications. Sun et al. proposed composite diamond coatings by the deposition of rough polycrystalline diamond and smooth fine grained diamond layers to attain thick coatings with smooth surfaces [97]. Sun et al. fabricated diamond coated tube drawing dies with the deposition of nano- and microcrystalline composite diamond coatings using a squirrel-cage HFCVD technique.
Such composite diamond coatings have exhibited good adhesion, high wear resistance and surface smoothness. Composite

Diamond coatings on pure titanium substrates are of importance for tribological and biomedical implants, among others; yet, due to the dissimilar thermal expansion coefficients of the two materials, it is difficult to grow adherent thick
Chapter-II Experimental Details & Characterization Techniques
Mechanical Engineering Dept, National Institute of Technology Srinagar, India Page 70 diamond layers on titanium. The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of cooling down the substrate from the deposition temperature to the room temperature and then repeat the deposition process several times, on the quality and stress of the deposited diamond. This process intended to allow a partial relaxation of the diamond/titanium thermal stresses by obliging the diamond nuclei onto the titanium carbide formed interlayer without detachment from the substrate. A hot-filament chemical vapor deposition system fed with ethanol, highly diluted in hydrogen was used. Coatings of ample surface coverage with faceted grains of lateral size of about 4
Am and compressive stress as low as 0.38 GPa have been obtained [99].
The hardness and adhesion characteristics of diamond films deposited on pure titanium and Ti–6Al–4V alloy are correlated to the structural characteristics of the films and of the transitional layers formed at the film/substrate interface. Deposition experiments were accomplished by hot-filament CVD
Casting will actually back up the photographs taken prior to collecting the evidence, providing a three dimensional impression by using dental stone. Dental Stone will cast the impression in the physical shape and size that cannot be captured in the photograph. A majority of investigators prepare bags of dental stone to shorten the mixing process on the crime scene. When pre-made the investigator will only have to add water and mix, which is usually two pounds of dental stone to two cups of water. Physically mix manually with fingers until the mixture reaches pancake batter consistency in the resalable bag. Pour the mixture using a wooden stick to angle the dental stone into the impression by allowing it to slide into the print, not directly on it. Wait approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on weather conditions, to permit the mixture to harden. After it hardens, carefully lift the casting being careful not to break or crack the mold. Do not scrape off dirt or debris from cast for at least twenty-four hours and photograph casting when lifted. Document, mark and preserve the casting to send to the laboratory for further
Diamond is affected by the rock cycle in many different ways. One way is that without the process of which metamorphic rocks would form, then there would be no diamonds (Crain). They need to go through that process, so the sediments become a diamond. Another way that diamonds are affected by, as said by Crain, the rock cycle is the process of how Igneous rocks will be formed. Depending on the volcanic eruption happened the diamond may be created differently. There are different paths the sediments can take to become a diamond, also all the ways are made possible by the rock cycle.

Diamond is one of the most expensive gemstones. It is rare and it has difficult ways to extract. Diamond has been discoverd from thousands of years, it is the result of exposure carbon to heat under the ground over onethousand and fourhandred dgrees, and this is how diamonds are shaped. In this essay I will write , explain and compare between the four article about purpose and audence.
First of all, despite the declination of DeBeer’s dominance on the diamond’s industry, it still is the number one diamond manufactures in the world who has good reputation and extraordinary impact. If they can do more on advertisement, to let more people know about their brand, this would definitely increase their sales. A statistic shows that consumers are willing to pay 15% premium for the same stone for DeBeers which shows people are still tend to trust the brand.
Five Star Tools is a small family-owned business that manufactures diamond-coated cutting tools (chisels and saws) used by jewelers. The production of these tools involves three major processes. The first of these processes involves steel “blanks” (tools without the diamond coating) that are cut to size. The second process involves the blanks being sent to a chemical bath that prepares the tools for the coating process. The final process is the major process in the line. The blanks are coated with diamond chips in a proprietary process that simultaneously coats and sharpens
They can give it a fresh new start with their powder coating process, or if it's brand new, they can ensure it lasts a long time without rusting.
One of titanium’s most important uses is in aerospace technology used by the United States Air Force. Titanium is very beneficial because it is corrosion resistant, has a high strength to density ratio, resists fatigue and racking, and is temperature resistant. Because of these properties titanium has many applications for the Air Force. In aircraft titanium is crucial to engine parts because it can handle high temperatures and stress. It is used in modern aircraft, such as the F-22 raptor, and was one of the key components in the record holding SR-71 Blackbird. Because of its low weight and heat resistance titanium is also used in spacecraft and ballistic, air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. Since titanium has roughly the same weight as aluminum and the strength or iron it has many armor applications. The most noticeable for the US Air Force is in the “bathtub” like shell that protects the pilot of the A-10. Titanium is invaluable to the US Air Force; titanium and its alloys have numerous applications in modern aerospace technology, have been used in some of the most influential and important Air Force missions, and have the potential for future applications that could once again result in a drastic shift in aerospace

The story of these infamous diamonds all started with a fifteen year old who found a diamond in his father 's arm. The diamond business started in 1935 when “De Beers” took all control over dining prospects in Sierra Leone. De Beers are a group of companies has a main role in the exploration of diamonds, as well as diamond mining, diamond retail, diamond trading, and industrial diamond manufacturing sectors.This group was founded in 1888, and they are responsible for the problems Sierra Leone is facing today. These diamonds can be found in volcanic pipes. Diamonds are a pure form of carbon in a transparent state. Diamonds have always been a sign of wealth. Historically kings and queens were known for wearing these. Over time many people began lusting over them.
The material of the substrate/wafer can be conventional silicon, glass, plastic, COC or any of a variety of materials that can be structured. Exemplary techniques for introducing the patterning into the substrate include photolithography, nanoimprint lithography, embossing of the structures into a plastic/COC based material and injection molding of a plastic or COC into a master mold that has the structures patterned into it. Photolithography based approaches will typically involve use of a photoresist that is patterned with a stepper or mask aligner, exposed with radiation which transfers the pattern present on a reticle/photomask into the photoresist, and then the resist is developed to yield a structured film (photoresist) on top of the substrate. The structured resist is potentially the final substrate which can be used for subsequent gel coating or the pattern in the resist can be transferred into the substrate via follow on processing. The follow on process steps will typically include reactive ion etching (plasma based etching) or a wet etch (chemically based) process. If the pattern is transferred into the substrate, the patterned photoresist is subsequently removed to yield the patterned substrate for subsequent gel coating. It may be desirable to use a sacrificial film of a material such as Chrome or Titanium (a metal) under the photoresist, and first transfer the pattern in the photoresist to the metal film and then use that film as a hard mask by which the pattern is transferred into the substrate. Following pattern transfer into the substrate, the films are removed and therefore considered sacrificial to the fabrication process. If nanoimprint lithography is used, the imprinted photoresist can be a sacrificial material and similarly be used as an intermediate tool to transfer the patterned resist into the
In order to perform an artificial aging on these 4 samples, they are transferred into a 190°C Furnace, then are removed separately after 3, 10, 60, and 120 minutes; Then all quenched into water, and their hardness tested. In addition to the above process, the hardness test of the samples # 5 and 3 are measured after a week (table 4).
