Second, the technology trend

1, material

(1) Industrialization of CVD materials

The research on CVD diamond thin film growth technology began in the mid-1980s. From the late 1990s to the present, CVD diamond materials and their products for various uses have begun industrial production, and their application prospects and potential markets are extremely extensive.

CVD diamonds have become a key material in the processing, automotive, information, and energy sectors as well as defense, military, and cutting-edge technologies. Therefore, accelerating the research and industrialization of CVD growth technology is a real problem that urgently needs to be solved in our industry.

(2) Functional research and application of diamond

In addition to its excellent mechanical properties, diamond has many excellent physicochemical properties. Such as: diamond thermal conductivity is good, can be used for microwave devices, high-power solid-state lasers, heat sinks and large-scale integrated circuits; diamond crystals have small electron affinity, is an ideal field emission cathode material, can be used for cold cathode field emission The device; at the same time, the diamond is a broadband (Eg=5.5eV), breakdown voltage (107V) and saturation current (2.7×107cm s-1) are much higher than the commonly used semiconductor materials such as Si, GaAs, InP, etc. Its excellent high temperature performance, in the field of microelectronics, diamond-based integrated circuits are strong competitors of existing silicon-based integrated circuits. Diamond-made counter anvil (DAC) is an indispensable means for high-pressure physics and high-pressure chemistry research; diamond is transparent from deep ultraviolet to far-infrared, and can be applied to the window of the cruise missile infrared detector, laser window material, lens material, And optical protective coating; can also be used as a semiconductor heat sink, thermistor and a highly sensitive thermometer. Strengthening the research and application of diamond functionality is the technical guarantee for the future sustainable development of the industry.

(3) Functional research and development of cubic boron nitride

Cubic boron nitride crystal (CBN) has a wide direct band gap of 6.4eV, which is a very excellent semiconductor material. It has broad application prospects in the field of high-temperature and high-power broadband device microelectronics. Cubic boron nitride can produce second-order nonlinear optical effects, which can be used in light harmonic generators, electro-optic modulators, visible-ultraviolet light converters, optical rectifiers, optical parametric amplifiers, and the like. In addition, cubic boron nitride, like diamond, has a strong radiation resistance and can be used in radiation resistant devices. Therefore, the research and development of the functionality of cubic boron nitride materials has important practical significance.

(4) High-end PDC urgently needs to break through

At present, the overall domestic PDC has made significant progress, which can be used for drawing die, coalfield drilling, and general oil drilling. However, large-diameter PDC, deep-hole drilling PDC, high-speed, high-life tool PDC can not compete with foreign countries, China's terminal PDC is still imported, this situation must be resolved as soon as possible.

(5) Research on new superhard materials

The search for new types of superhard materials with high hardness, high chemical inertness and high thermal stability is a hot issue in the field of superhard materials research. If a new superhard material is designed from the perspective of theoretical design, and then experimentally verified, a new type of superhard material can be developed, which will combine the advantages of two superhard materials, diamond and cubic boron nitride, to overcome their advantages. Disadvantages will inevitably become a new generation of super-hard materials with broad application prospects.

(6) Research and development of gem-quality diamond

In the past 20 years, great progress has been made in gem-quality diamond synthesis technology. In 1990, Sumitomo Electric Co., Ltd. of Japan used a large crystal seed method to grow a 9-carat Ib-type diamond single crystal, and the growth rate was increased to 15 mg/h. In 1996, De Beers synthesized a high-quality Ib type with a weight of 25 carats in 1000 hours. Diamond single crystals represent the highest level of technology in today's gem-quality diamonds. The Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of the United States began the development of CVD single crystal diamond cultivation technology in 1998. In 2004, a single crystal diamond with a diagonal length of 10 mm and a thickness of 4.5 mm was grown at a growth rate of 100 μm/h and a maximum velocity of 300 μm. /h, the obtained single crystal is brown, and is colorless after high temperature and high pressure treatment. In 2005, 10 carats of transparent single crystal diamond was grown.

At present, China Zhongnan Diamond Co., Ltd., Huanghe Cyclone Co., Ltd., Jiaozuo Huajing Diamond Co., Ltd., etc., have been able to produce diamond large single crystals of about 4 mm. Huanghe Cyclone Co., Ltd. has produced 10mm gem-quality large single crystal diamond; Jilin University can produce 0.8ct gem-quality high-quality single crystal. On this basis, we should continue to strengthen the in-depth research and development of the synthesis method and technology of gem-quality synthetic diamond.

(7) Nano-diamond industrialization and application development

In addition to the general characteristics of diamond, nano-diamond also has the characteristics of nano-materials. It has been widely used in composite coating, grinding, polishing, lubrication, sealing, high-strength resin and rubber, showing good application prospects. The industrialization of nanodiamonds and its applications must be highly valued, as well as the development of nano-cubic boron nitride.

(8) Accelerate the improvement and research and development of raw and auxiliary materials

Pressure transmitting medium, top hammer cylinder, catalytic alloy, carbon source material and boron nitride raw material are the five pillars of indispensable production of superhard materials. In order to meet the needs of sustainable development of superhard industry in China, it is necessary to accelerate the auxiliary materials. Improvement and research and development, and the development of new pressure-transfer media, nano-sub-nano-iron-based metal powder, new carbon source materials and high-quality boron nitride, especially the matching of hard alloy parts are particularly important.

2, products

(1) Development and application of high-grade superhard material cutters

Superhard tools meet the requirements of modern high speed, high efficiency, high stability, low cost and low carbon environmental protection. They are an ideal green cutting tool and play an important role in the fields of automobile, aerospace, energy, military and machinery. The development of modern manufacturing technology and difficult-to-machine materials is driving the development of tool technology in the direction of high-speed cutting, high-precision and hard dry cutting. Research on high-performance PDC, PCBN tool blank materials, precision PDC tools, diamond single crystal tools and PCBN tool manufacturing technology and its application technology are important tasks for the development and application of superhard material tools.

(2) Development of deep oil (gas) drilling using PDC cutting teeth and deep hole ore exploration drills

Drilling diamond/carbide cutting teeth (PDC) has caused a technological revolution in the oil and gas drilling industry. As the recoverable reserves of shallow oil and gas resources are becoming less and less, people continue to explore oil and natural gas stored in deeper strata. In the past, oil wells were mostly 1000-2000 m deep, and now 3000-4000 m well depth has become the mainstream, and some oil deep wells have even reached 7000 m. The deeper the drilling, the greater the pressure on the stratum in the upper stratum, the denser the rock, the more difficult it is to drill, and the quality of the PDC is particularly important. Marine drilling and oil recovery (including combustible ice) are new battlefields for future energy. These drill bits have higher technical requirements for PDC and should be given more attention.

The development of solid minerals is one of the important lifeblood of China's economic development. Due to the limitation of mining technology, the mining depth of solid mineral resources in China was generally less than 500m. Now the mining depth has reached 1000-1200m, and the country requires a prospecting depth of 1500-2500m. Therefore, in terms of exploration of solid mineral resources, the development of deep hole drills is currently a major research topic.

New progress in recent years. The orderly arrangement of diamond saw blades and thin-walled drill manufacturing technology and the development and industrialization of special process equipment is one of the important development directions of diamond products.

The diamond wire saw replaces the traditional method of eye-opening and shooting in mining, which can save a lot of stone resources, and is currently in the stage of product development and promotion. The development and industrialization of diamond wire saws for high-precision precision machining with small diameter and small size should be given priority.

(4) Development and industrialization of super-hard coated abrasives

China is a big producer of coated abrasives, but the proportion of superhard material coated abrasives is very small. In order to meet the needs of modern grinding technology, hard and brittle material grinding and polishing, we must vigorously develop superhard materials. Coated abrasives and industrialize them.

(5) Development and industrialization of high-efficiency and durable diamond wire saw

The development of cutting processing of silicon/sapphire materials in the fields of semiconductor, photovoltaic and LED lighting has made diamond wire saws gradually show a series of unparalleled advantages: small surface damage, low deflection, material saving and high efficiency. Therefore, as a major producer of semiconductor, photovoltaic, and LED lighting materials, it is necessary to accelerate the development and industrialization of high-efficiency and durable diamond wire saws.
