SHANNON, Ireland, July 8 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Element Six will be the main sponsor for the 3rd Diamond at Work Conference planned to take place in Paris between 16-17th April 2009. "The breadth and depth of the topics covered at the Diamond at Work Conference make it one of the industrial diamond sector's premier events which is why we are pleased to give the conference our support," says Christian Hultner, Element Six CEO.
Diamond at Work is the showcase where the latest developments in the industrial application of diamond and related materials are aired. The 2009 conference is planned to be strongly application-based while also covering specific research that is leading to a deeper understanding of the properties of new materials and significant breakthroughs in fabrication techniques. The aim of the Diamond at Work says conference secretary, Martin Jennings, "is to provide a comprehensive overview of current and future applications for diamond and cubic boron nitride."
Broadly the 2009 conference proceedings will cover abrasive and non-abrasive application developments of diamond and cubic boron nitride material. This includes diamond and cubic boron nitride products derived from high pressure, high temperature synthesis, as well as diamond material produced by chemical vapour deposition synthesis.
Abrasive applications will cover machining operations for components and materials in the oil and gas and stone and construction industries, for toolmaking and grinding. Non-abrasive sessions will discuss the broad new applications for diamond, in particular, in optical, electronic, thermal, detectors and electrodes and in advanced technologies such as the emerging field of spintronics.
The 2009 conference hopes to build on the success of previous events. The 2nd Diamond at Work that took place in Rome in 2007 attracted more than 350 delegates from 34 countries and more than 90 separate papers where given.
