Ultra-Hard Materials
New ultra-hard materials with superior properties to diamond are continuously being investigated and potentially new superhard materials are presently being designed and examined not only for scientific interest, but also for commercial usage. Different techniques, both theoretical and experimental, are employed in an attempt to replace diamond for applications where abrasive wear resistance and enhanced thermal stability are of great importance. This collection on Ultra-hard Materials provides a valuable forum where scientists, engineers, and practitioners in the field shared their most recent, novel findings, and understanding of fundamentals of ultra-hard materials.
