Evolution
Towards the end of 20th century, precious metals were used in diamond cutting industry. These were few expensive and less available metals like cobalt, tungsten and nickel. These metals has excellent properties, to make tools for cutting different types of precious stones available in the world. In 21st century, the diamond market grew with a fast speed and competition increased with new players entering in. To cater the growing demand of these new players, tool manufacturers started using innovative technologies and different options were experimented on. The need of new material for diamond cutting tool became indispensable due to a major price hike in raw material. Thus, the tool making industry was forced shifted towards the most economical and best alternative form of metal available in the world- IRON.
Today, almost all diamond cutting tool manufacturers are using electrolytic iron due its physical and chemical properties best suited for the diamond cutting tools to perform well and last long.
The properties which contribute to make electrolytic Iron as the best suited material for cutting tool are, its purity- which is up to 99.9% and helps to enhance the life of tools. Then, its availability in different particle sizes. It makes quiet a number of choices available for the cutting tool manufacturers. Electrolytic iron has excellent compressibility making it a wise choice in the industry. And its Irregular particle shape helps in better diamond retention. As diamond sizes, shapes and physical properties vary, a cutting tool has to be of adjustable hardness.
With the use of electrolytic Iron in manufacturing the cutting tool, it became possible to the manufactures, to produce such a cutting tool. Industrial Metal Powders (I) Pvt. Ltd. became one of the first among Indian suppliers, who catered this uplift in the industry. Some more benefit which the iron based cutting tools exhibited is, it required lower sintering temperature and excellent surface area. These benefits are proving crucial in the diamond cutting industry’s choice of electrolytic iron based tools. Major high purity iron powder manufacture like IMP gave a boost to the diamond cutting tool industry by offering stable prices and eco-friendly product possibilities.
However due to cost, lots of import dependency, stone requirement, there is a good potential for atomized iron as well and now a days it is being fulfill by the other suppliers. But many issues still continue with this industries likes quality consistency, availability, customization, packing, testing’s assurance, import issues etc. Hence many industries are now looking forward for the manufacturer who is solve these above difficulties and give the stability in market.
Hence, to bring this stability, IMP who is already pioneer in iron in India, have now started manufacturing atomized iron powders with world-class new facility in same premises.
