Typically, diamonds have been known to demonstrate hardness values up to 12000 HV (Vickers Hardness) or approximately 100HRC. Diamond-coated Tungsten Carbide tools have demonstrated improved machining characteristics over coated tool steels commonly used today. With the increased use of composites, ceramics, and other ultra-hard / lightweight materials in numerous industries, diamond-coated machine

This paper will focus on the Diamond Industry and in particular DeBeers’ involvement in shaping the structure of markets and firm conduct within the industry. The paper will examine the influence of DeBeers’ cartel by initially looking at market conditions when DeBeers were operating their cartel, then by way of comparison, examining the evolvement of the market once the DeBeers cartel was ended, effectively opening up the market for the first time. The diamond industry currently produces
