ANVILS GENERAL INFO
Diamonds have the highest compressive strength as compared to the rest of the materials. This allows it to withstand even the highest static pressures encountered in ultra-high pressure anvil applications. As diamonds are transparent to light and X-rays, a diamond anvil allows direct observations of the behaviour of materials under ultra-high pressure. Furthermore, the diamond's transparency also allows the possibility of heating the specimen by laser. The diamond anvil is an essential tool of modern high- pressure research. Pressures in excess of half megabar can be routinely achieved with diamond anvils in well designed equipment, and the attainment of pressures in excess of 4 megabars has been reported. We manufacture a variety of standard types of diamond anvils including those for the highest pressures.
