Diamond Lapping Compound

Industrial Diamond Compound for Precision Surface Finishing

Braemar Diamond Lapping Compound contains carefully selected diamond abrasive distributed throughout a compound designed to provide consistent abrasive action during the lapping and polishing process.

Uniform diamond distribution helps produce predictable cutting performance and consistent finishes. Selecting the proper diamond micron size allows operators to control the balance between material removal rate and final surface finish.

Coarser diamond sizes are typically selected when faster material removal is required, while progressively finer diamond compounds can be used to improve surface finish and prepare components for final polishing.

This makes diamond lapping compound suitable for both production environments and specialized precision finishing operations.

Materials Suitable for Diamond Lapping Compound

Diamond compound can be used to lap, polish and finish a wide range of hard materials, including:

• Tungsten carbide
• Technical ceramics
• Glass
• Hardened steels
• Tool steels
• Precision metals
• Carbide tooling
• Mechanical seal materials
• Mold and die components
• Precision industrial components

The proper diamond size, carrier and polishing procedure will depend on the material being processed and the surface finish required.

Diamond Micron Sizes for Lapping & Polishing

Selecting the correct diamond compound micron size is an important part of achieving the desired surface finish.

Larger diamond particles provide more aggressive cutting action and are generally used for initial lapping, stock removal and preparation. Medium micron sizes can be used for intermediate finishing, while fine and ultra-fine diamond compounds are designed for final polishing and high-quality surface finishes.

For applications requiring multiple polishing stages, progressively finer diamond compounds can be used to reduce scratches from the previous operation and gradually improve the finished surface.

Braemar can help customers determine an appropriate diamond compound based on the material, existing surface condition and required final finish.

Applications for Diamond Lapping & Polishing Compound

Braemar Diamond Lapping Compound is suitable for a variety of precision manufacturing and finishing applications, including:

• Precision lapping
• Surface polishing
• Mold and die polishing
• Carbide polishing
• Ceramic polishing

Diamond compound may be applied using appropriate polishing equipment, laps, fixtures or manual finishing methods depending on the application.

Why Use Diamond Lapping Compound?

Diamond abrasive provides excellent cutting efficiency on extremely hard materials. Unlike many conventional abrasives, diamond can maintain effective cutting action when working with carbide, ceramics, glass and other difficult materials.

The ability to select specific micron sizes also gives manufacturers greater control over their finishing process.

Benefits can include:

• Efficient material removal
• Consistent abrasive performance
• Controlled surface finishing
• Fine polishing capability
• Multiple micron size options
• Excellent performance on hard materials
• Suitable for precision industrial applications
• Useful for multi-stage lapping and polishing processes

Diamond Compound for Carbide, Ceramics, Glass & Precision Tooling

Different materials respond differently to lapping and polishing. Selecting the correct diamond abrasive size and polishing process can significantly affect cutting speed, surface finish and overall process efficiency.

Braemar works with customers involved in precision grinding, lapping and polishing applications and can assist with selecting diamond products appropriate for specific manufacturing requirements.

If you are uncertain which diamond micron size is appropriate for your application, contact Braemar with information about the material being polished, current surface condition and desired final finish.
