Diamond Anvil Cell Accessories
Diamond Anvil Cell Accessories
DACTools’ goal is to be able to provide high-pressure community with a full range of tools for doing High Pressure research with Diamond Anvil Cells. This includes accessories from various diamond anvils and diamond seats through non-magnetic seats/gaskets (made out of Tungsten Carbide with Nickel binder, Pascalloy superalloy, and other exotic materials) and to various diamond alignment jigs and other small tools essential for high pressure research.
The current inventory includes a variety of pressed and EDM’ed C2 tungsten carbide diamond seats of popular and custom shapes and sizes. For example, we currently stock common 5.3 mm high flat seats with 50-60 degrees opening and 1.1 mm and 1.65 mm holes. We also have multiple conical seats for Boehler-Almax type anvils. The stock of various seats, from 3.2 mm to 11 mm high, is growing at fast pace and will follow the demand. We can also supply custom seats of virtually any size and shape from WC, cBN, BeCu and other materials.
In collaboration with Dr. Reini Boehler we provide Diamond Anvils (typically Type 2A HPHT) with 30 degrees conical support mounted in Vascomax seats. Smaller support angle for the same x-ray opening results in thicker and stronger Diamond Anvils leading to higher anvil stability and higher maximum pressure.
