Diamond is the hardest known substance in the world, and the hardness of cubic boron nitride is second only to diamond. The hardness of these two materials is much higher than other materials, including abrasive materials corundum, silicon carbide and tool materials carbide, high-speed steel. Therefore, compared with the above-mentioned traditional hard material tools, diamond tools have longer life, less loss and higher efficiency in the industrial processing process, especially in processing hard materials, they have unparalleled advantages. With the continuous maturity of synthetic diamond production technology and the continuous improvement of output, the price of diamond products has shown a long-term downward trend, and the outstanding cost performance continues to promote its replacement for traditional hard material tools. It can be determined that the continuous growth of the world industry and the substitution effect will continue to promote the expansion of the synthetic diamond industry in the future.

The diamond product industry, especially the synthetic diamond product industry, is a booming "chaoyang industry" in my country, and it was once known as the most promising and promising industry. Used in many fields, grinding tools, drilling tools, sawing tools and cutting tools are the four main application fields. Diamond grinding tools and cutting tools are mainly used in machining industry and optical glass industry. Saw cutting tools are widely used in the cutting and processing of natural stone and artificial stone in building materials. Drilling tools are mainly used in geological exploration and drilling of oil and gas wells. Wire drawing dies All kinds of wire specially used for drawing wire and screen.

my country is the world's synthetic diamond production base: humans have discovered natural diamonds for 3,000 years. In the early days, people used coarse-grained natural diamonds to manufacture various processing tools, but their applications were quite limited due to the scarcity of minerals, difficulty in mining, and high prices. In the middle of the 20th century, with the advent of synthetic diamond, diamond tools developed rapidly in industrial applications. Since the beginning of the 21st century, with my country's breakthroughs in the fields of equipment, technology and raw material synthesis, the output of domestic synthetic diamond has grown rapidly, with an average annual compound growth rate of 16.4%. At present, my country is the world's largest production base of superhard materials, accounting for more than 70% of the world's total output.

But my country's synthetic diamond industry is big but not strong. Compared with the advanced international industrial countries, my country's synthetic diamond industry still has a certain gap in terms of product variety and quality, as well as in process technology and equipment. The standard detection level lags behind; the synthesis high pressure reaction chamber volume is small, the unit yield is low, and the production efficiency is low; the synthesis process has poor controllability, the influence of human factors is large, and the research on the application of new technologies is backward. As a result, most of our products can only enter the DIY market, with low prices and low profits, and cannot enter the general and professional markets in large quantities.

Today, the Internet has changed the way we obtain information, the way of dissemination, the way of communication between people, the way of transactions, and the way of communication in the future. Its scope of influence will include life, society, economy, politics and other aspects. So that all industries can use the Internet to create new models. From this point of view, it will disrupt all industries. The same is true for the diamond products industry.

The report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to "adhere to the promotion of industrialization with informatization, promote informatization with industrialization, and develop a new industrialization path with high scientific and technological content, good economic benefits, low resource consumption, less environmental pollution, and full use of human resource advantages. "This requires us to use Xinxi technology to provide the level of the diamond product industry, speed up the development process, and transform the traditional diamond product industry. To achieve high output, good quality, low cost and good benefits.

Generally speaking, the larger the scale of the traditional industry, the more information asymmetry the Internet can change, and the greater the impact it will be. For the diamond products industry, because of the high barriers in the industry, it has brought a lot of information asymmetry. The Internet can solve the problem of information asymmetry, which will definitely play a very positive subversive role in this industry.
