Metal matrix composites with ultradiamond90 are light, with mechanical properties close to those of low-grade steel. Hardness and wear resistance are increased by ultradiamond90. The metal crystallization process is changed, which changes block size of the crystal structure. link to home link to index of topics link to glossary
