"A superhard material is a material with a hardness value exceeding 40 gigapascals (GPa) when
measured by the Vickers hardness test. Highly incompressible solids with high electron density and
high bond covalency. As a result of their unique properties, these materials are of great interest in
many industrial areas including, abrasives, polishing and cutting tools and wear-resistant and
protective coatings.
The hardness of a material is directly related to its incompressibility, elasticity and resistance to
change in shape. A superhard material has high shear modulus, high bulk modulus and does not
deform plastically. Should have a defect-free, isotropic lattice. This greatly reduces structural
deformations that can lower the strength of the material. Traditionally, high-pressure and high-
temperature (HPHT) conditions have been used to synthesize superhard materials, but recent
superhard material syntheses aim at using less energy and lower cost materials.

Superhard material industry chain mainly involves the following three aspects: monocrystalline
superhard materials (including diamond, cubic boron nitride, etc.), composite superhard materials
(including clad sheet for cutting tools, clad sheet for oil/gas, clad sheet and wire drawing die blanks
used for coal/mining) and super-hard materials and tools (including diamond saw blades,
polycrystalline diamond drawing dies and drills, etc.). "
