The advantages of Diamond Composite
Featured Product from Hyperion Materials & Technologies
Diamond Composite Advantages
Hyperion Materials & Technologies manufactures Versirion®, a revolutionary silicon carbide and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) composite with increased wear property and thermal stability. Versirion is made by a state-of-the-art high-pressure high-temperature process and is based on the Versimax® composite developed for wire drawing and wear applications.
Versirion and Versimax exhibit superior wear resistance, high temperature performance, and high strength approaching that of cobalt-sintered PCD, with the addition of superior thermal stability. Versirion exhibits the most superior corrosion resistance.
Applications Matrix
- Bunching
- Compacting
- Drawing
- Extrusion
- Stranding
- Wear applications
Main Advantages
- Superior thermal stability compared to that of PCD
- Significantly reduced coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch
- Thermally stable up to 1400°C, which creates less risk of failures during application
- Easy to process:
- Electrically conductive: EDM processability allows flexibility in cutting various geometries
- Sizes larger than those of unsupported PCD: diameter - 35 mm, height - 35 mm
- Does not require polishing of the bore to achieve the surface finish of the wire
- Ability to be easily brazed or shrink fitted into casing
- Versatility: ferrous and nonferrous wires
- Wear resistance comparable to that of PCD and corrosion resistance slightly better than that of PCD.
