Diamond Products

Diamond remains the abrasive of choice for a wide range of polishing applications due to its unmatched cutting efficiency and ability to deliver superior surface finishes. Although diamond products may have a higher upfront cost compared to other abrasives, their effectiveness means significantly less material is needed, often offsetting the price difference. Additionally, diamond cuts faster, reducing polishing time and producing clearer microstructural details with fewer defects like smearing or scratches. All diamond products are precision graded according to stringent Swiss micronizing standards to ensure optimal performance.

Polycrystalline Diamond

Polycrystalline diamond particles feature multiple cutting surfaces per particle, resulting in faster material removal rates. As they wear, these particles fracture in a way that maintains their original shape, allowing for finer finishes in less time compared to monocrystalline diamond. Without cleavage planes, polycrystalline diamond resists splintering and causes minimal subsurface damage, making it especially effective for polishing samples with varying material hardness.

Monocrystalline Diamond

Monocrystalline diamond offers a cost-effective solution for general polishing needs, providing good stock removal and quality finishes. Its particles have slightly irregular shapes with multiple cutting edges, making it well-suited for applications where the enhanced features of polycrystalline diamond are not necessary. Whether you require powders, suspensions, slurries, or compounds, these diamond-based polishing products deliver reliable, high-precision results across diverse materials and preparation techniques.

Alumina Products

Cutting Edge offers high-performance alumina suspensions and powders designed for consistent, high-quality results in metallographic polishing applications.

Alumina Suspensions

These pre-mixed, water-based suspensions provide a clean, convenient alternative to traditional powders. Chemically stable and de-agglomerated, they’re ideal for achieving the finest surface finishes—especially in final polishing stages. With no mixing required, they save time while delivering precise, reliable results.
