A method of fabricating fluorescent diamond particles, and diamond particles fabricated by the method. The method comprises mounting a diamond body on a heat sink, the diamond body comprising a plurality of diamond particles having a particle size of no more than 250 micrometres and bound together in the diamond body by a binder. The diamond body is irradiated to generate vacancy defects in the diamond particles. The binder is then removed to separate the diamond body into diamond particles.

Highly fluorescent diamond particles and methods of fabricating the same

A method of providing well-shaped diamond grains of at most about 100 microns in size. The method includes providing a synthesis assembly comprising a source of carbon material, a plurality of seed grains on which diamond material can crystallize, and solvent-catalyst material for promoting the crystallization of the diamond grains, and subjecting the synthesis assembly to a condition for growing the diamond grains. The synthesis condition is maintained long enough for at least about half of the carbon material to be converted into the diamond grains.

Diamond grains, method for making same and mixture comprising same

A method of manufacturing encapsulated superhard material includes the steps of providing a source of superhard material, providing a mixture comprising an appropriate binder, a solvent or fluid medium and the intended coating or encapsulating layer, combining the superhard material and the mixture in a shovel rotor, the shovel rotor having a vessel including a rotor, the vessel adapted to receive a stream of gas. The rotor is rotated at an appropriate velocity such that the superhard material is encapsulated by the mixture.

Method for manufacturing encapsulated superhard material

A process for the formation of pellets containing an ultra hard (superhard) core coated with an encapsulating material includes utilizing a shovel rotor in combination with a rotating pan and/or a fluidized bed apparatus in sequence. The process includes providing a source of superhard material, providing a mixture comprising a binder, a solvent or fluid medium and the intended coating or encapsulating layer, and combining the superhard material and the mixture in a shovel rotor. The rotor of the shovel rotor is rotated at a velocity such that the superhard material is encapsulated by the mixture to form pellets. The pellets are introduced into a rotating vessel or fluidized bed granulating apparatus, and the pellets are contacted with encapsulating material to form pellets of greater mass than the pellets introduced into the vessel.

A containment element for a pressure containment assembly, comprising mullite or a polymorph of mullite.
