Super Hard Materials Market Overview

Super hard materials are defined as the materials who sehardness valueis more than 40 gigapa scal (GPa) when estimated by Vickers hardness test. The hardness of such material is related to its elasticity, in compressibility, and resistance to change in shape.Super hard material is classified into two groups intrinsic and extrinsic group. The intrinsic type comprises of cubic boron nitride (c-BN), diamond, carbon nitrides & ternary compounds, and extrinsic type includes nanocrystalline diamond, which bears super hardness and other mechanical properties when compared with intrinsic group materials. These materials have high shear modulus, bulk modulus, and does not show plasticity. Super hard materials are synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature by optimizing energy and in expensive materials.

Increase in usage of super hard materials in the different end-use industries owing to its hardness, incompressibility, elasticity, and resistance to change shape are expected to increase the demand for global super hard materials market. In addition, proliferating demand for super hard materials in the industrial operations, such as cutting, turning,boring, and drilling owing to its scratch resistance and ability to shape any material are anticipated to enhance the demand. Further, usage of super hard materials in the petroleum down stream process is expected to drive the market growth. However, high removal costof graphite and brittles carbides deposit on the metal surface during high-speed cutting process is expected to hamper the market growth. Moreover, development of super hard materials with improved mechanical properties are anticipated to create new opportunities over the upcoming period.

The super hard materials market is segmented into type, form, cover, application, end user, and region.By type, the market is bifurcated into intrinsic and extrinsic. By form, the market is divided into monocrystalline, polycrystalline and composite. By cover, the market is differentiated into cubic boron nitride (CBN), micron diamond, polycrystalline diamond (PCD), and polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN). By application, the market is classified into shipbuilding, saw blades, diamond disc, diamond drill bits, cutting tools and others. By end user, the market is categorized into stone & construction, chemical processing, automotive, composite polycrystalline tool and others. By region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East and Africa).
